    Okay, I was on another forum looking at a YouTube video they embedded in their post. I have AdBlockerPlus installed and it said "block" right above the video and I was the curious me so I clicked on it, and I bumped some option in the drop down it created now when I embed YouTube videos they don't show on my screen, what do I do?
    Other posts show them, but not mine. I've removed and reinstalled adblockerplus.

    Go to Filter Preferences, then click on the Custom Filter tab, and you can remove that filter from there. You did not state what browser you are using, but for Chrome & Firefox, it is the same way to correct.

    Click the down arrow aside of the ABP icon and select disable on this page only to see the video again.

    Well, it has done it again, I deleted my custom filter and disabled it on that forum, but it still doesn't show the video. I just posted one on the other forum to check and it's blocked. It seems to be only that one I posted the other in the thread are viewable.
    I'm using PaleMoon.

    What happens if you disable AdBlocker Plus all together, or run Palemoon in Safe mode? See the part about "Windows Media formats do not play in Pale Moon", and click the link for the "Interoperability Bridges" and see if that fixes it. http://www.palemoon.org/troubleshooting.shtml

    Now the other question is, does the site work with Firefox without the adblock addon, or even Pale moon with the Adblock addon disabled?

    Try this when uninstalling AdblockPlus: http://adblockplus.org/en/getting_started/#uninstall
    I've got an extension called Preferences Cleaner that does a very good job in cleaning out the about:config after uninstalling an extension.

    After you've completed removed all remnants of Adblock Plus then install ABP again. See if the above works for you.

    Forgot to add this: Not sure if it would be best to remove all subscriptions prior to uninstalling Adblock Plus. Personally to be safe, I would and reinstall the subscriptions after re-installing ABP.
