AI Thread Summary
Embedded YouTube videos on the forum are reportedly blocking access to thread option drop-down menus for some users, particularly affecting the "Share It" option. While many users, including those on different browsers and operating systems, do not experience this issue, it has been noted that the problem arises when using lower screen resolutions, such as 800x600. Users have observed that ads appear when not logged in, which may affect the layout differently. The issue seems to be browser-specific, with some users able to replicate the problem by resizing their browser windows. Overall, the discussion highlights a potential compatibility issue with embedded videos and thread tools on certain setups.

I don't know if this has been reported yet.
Embedded videos at the top of the page seem to be blocking drop down menus of thread options . I noticed it at this https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=130401&page=59". For example, the Share it option cannot be properly accessed.

Not a problem with FF3.0.1 on Mac OSX.
 
Looks fine to me too. (Firefox 3.0.10, Vista)
 
Look fine for me too, but my thread tools drop down comes nowhere near to overlapping with the youtube embeds. What resolution is your screen set at arunbg?

Mine neither, so I made my browser window smaller to force the overlap. Still, no conflicts.
 
Opera here - after I change window size so that Share It menu lands in the same place youtube flash player, Share It menu opens under video and can't be accessed. Same when trying IE.
 
Sorry for the late response, I was out of town.
I use an old CRT monitor set at 800X600. Funny thing is when I accessed the page without logging in, google ads appeared between the video and the menu preventing overlap. Once I log in and refresh the page, the ads disappear and I am stuck with the same problem.
