Bork
 

Not sure if this is the right forum sub category...

But why do I see the word "BORKED" or "BORK"?

I assume it has something to do with posting links or am i off base?

what? where are you seeing this word?

second post in this thread, as well as other threads...

how come i see it but you dont?

i see it now

urban dictionary says...

borked-To have totally f'ed something up. Usually by doing something stupid. Specifically used to describe technology that is broken

ah ok, thought i was loosing it...

another def of it from the same website

borked - The term "Borked" or "Borking" originated with conservative talk show hosts (primarily Rush Limbaugh) to describe someone who is denied something earned simply because they either aren't politically correct enough or aren't trusted - usually without cause. The usage is derived from Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork who though eminently qualified was deemed too "conservative" to serve as a Supreme Court judge.

looks like mods are "moderating" certain things...

Are you using a different computer than normal? When something is borked, its normally a youtube video or atleast that was the case when I was using my laptop at the inlaws. AK helped me figure it out.

"Borked" shows when you incorrectly paste a YouTube video in a thread (like I have too many times). You have to explicitly follow the instructions given below to avoid being borked:

BanningZ and socal is correct. You'll see BORKED when you are using a computer with youtube blocked or if you improperly embed a youtube video. This why I always encourage forum members to include the youtube link right below the embeded video.

Youtube was acting weird yesterday. I would try to watch a video, and it would tell me it was no longer available. I would refresh the screen, and it would come up. It did that a few times throughout the day. I also saw the Borked show up here on the thread that semetex posted about the exhaust.

I've been having this problem too on Firefox. However, in IE the videos display fine. It must be a browser incompatibility issue with Youtube. Perhaps it's some plugin that is missing or misconfiguration.

I suggest you guys to post the original youtube link on top and below the embeded video. Like this

YouTube - 370Z w/ Stillen Exhaust & Berk Tech HFCs: Launch Clip


Thanks.

Sure, I'll try to remember to do that but this happens not only with the videos that I post, it's with all posted videos.

Again, I only experience this with Firefox, and I do have the latest version (3.0.7).

I have discovered why im getting borked!

I have windows vista ultimate sp2 64-bit installed...with that I have 64-bit IE, so when I try to view threads thru 64-bit IE with embeeded youtube I get borked.

However when I view those same threads thru 32-bit IE, I don not get borked.

I've concluded that it is a IE 64-bit glitch. I also cannot view adobe flash thru 64-bit IE, so I keep both a 32-bit and 64-bit IE icon in my leftside task bar that way I can view adobe flash.

I am unsure as to why adobe has not released a flash for 64-bit yet, it has been this way since i installed 64-bit vista almost a year ago...

Government computers borking me in every other thread.

This should be stickied since it keeps coming up.

No "you tubing" on taxpayer dollars! I kid, I kid. ;)

I see this when using my iPhone to check this site on the youtube imbed's

Any Windows 64bit OS = poopy.....
