Truth be told, this happens most of the time whenever anyone on the VetteBarn posts a video link to YouTube.

I'm guessing you were using the VB app when experiencing this problem?
I was able to replicate what you described, and it seems the nature of the problem is the embed link, apparently Youtube is no longer allowing mobile device/browser access from such a link.
On the full (website) forum, the links people post get converted to an embed link, so they can appear and play right in the thread. Following that link from the mobile app, however, now produces the "video unavailable" error message.
It wasn't always this way, and I will look into this more and see how I might be able to fix it. But in the meantime, there's a VERY easy way to still view the videos while using the app...
As you know, when you tap on a video in a thread, it opens a browser window that looks about like the image below.
If you tap the play button on the center of the video, you'll get the video unavailable error....But if you tap the title at the top of the video instead, that will load the normal Youtube page (not the embed link), and you'll find that plays just fine.
