It probably won't last long but anyone trying to watch youtube videos on the forum will see an error with a little monkey picture and messaging something like
QuoteSorry, something went wrong.

I have just looked at the Guardian article referred to by @railsquid (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=3832) - I like the caption under the picture -
