Are you inputting it correctly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHjFxJVeCQs

The trick with youtube videos, unlike images, is that using the whole URL (In this case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHjFxJVeCQs) doesnt work, that only generates a blank white box.
In order to get it to work the ONLY THING you want in the tags is the unique Video ID found in the Url:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHjFxJVeCQs
You only want the piece of text emboldened there.

Sorry what i meant was i cannot see the videos posted by other posters,if i scroll the page i can see bits of it.

What browser are you using? Do you use an addon such as FlashBlock or something similiar, some adblock programs may block flash embedding, not really sure though, also Youtube has 2 formats, HTML5 and Flash, if your uising a ipad, iphone or something like that they don't support Flash player full stop. Also try updating Flash from www.adobe.com
