The videos in Chrome aren't loading but I just checked on Edge and it seems to work fine. Also comments aren't loading by default (I have to hit load comments) and the comment box is missing image files. And hitting things like "Img" doesn't bring up the little pop up menu to select one. The only reason I was even able to do things like add images here and make things bold is because I used Microsoft Edge...

There might be other weird things going on but I just didn't notice it yet.

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.104 64bits

OS: Windows 10

Extensions: I have the default ones that come with chrome and I have a norton security and the GB emote app for live chat. I just unenabled both of those (Norton and the GB one) and reset chrome but it's still a problem.

NOTE: I have already uninstalled and reinstalled chrome. I did keep my browser data though when I did it.

This is a problem on all videos. Below is a screen shot of one video page and what I see.

Anything on this? I'm still can't watch anything on GB on Chrome, and I actually can't comment on anything on Chrome either.

I am now running into this issue as of two days ago. I did not have any problems before then other than some periodic buffering issues. I am currently running windows 8 using chrome as my browser (though I did try to running the videos through internet explorer and experienced the same issue)

So at the moment every video I try to run on GB either says "Loading Video" or shows no play icon/message at all.

Not sure what is causing the issue, I have not made any changes to my pc lately, and I can still play the same videos in question when I pull them up on Utube

I realized the reason for my problem as soon as i finished posting. For some reason, probably due to a chrome update, the adobe plugin for chrome changed its default setting to block all videos and ask for permission to play. I guess for some reason the request to load videos message does not pop for GB.

The fix is easy, go to the GB home page and click on the image of the green lock icon before the url then change the settings for flash and popups to always be allowed for the site.

Had the same problem in Firefox and Chrome. Solved it by disabling uBlock for the site.

I didn't know you could disable uBlock per site until now. This worked for me.

Had the same issue for the last few days. Chrome didn't work, Edge did. Disabling uBlock on Chrome solved the issue.
