Does anyone know why I can't see videos in threads when I'm on my kindle?  All I get is a big empty white space; no link to the video or any error saying I'm missing a plug in. I'm still a noob to my kindle so I'm sure it's on my end and not the forums. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I believe you need to add an app to the Kindle before it will play YouTube videos.  A quick Google search should point you in the right direction.  I'm sorry I don't have more to offer, but my experience with Kindles is limited to the Touch, and even on that, I don't use most of the features (at least, not yet).

I can watch them on youtube. On FB it post an image of the video and redirects me to watch on youtube directly. I have an app for youtube as well but it has nothing to do with the web. It's prob the coding in smf that my kindle can't read. Idk though I'm technically challenged. I'll try google ; I was just hoping someone else already knew the fix.

YouTube was in the process of converting its videos from Adobe Flash to H.264, but I am not sure that the process is complete. Also, when YouTube servers see that a video is being served to a page other than its own (embedded elsewhere), it likely serves up only Adobe Flash, or nothing at all if the content is restricted. YouTube also wants to make sure that you see an ad when you watch one of the videos.

I'm testing the fix so either enjoy this clip or ignore it (It was the first suggestion Youtube had for me when I logged in; so I figured WTH!):
