In some threads the vimeo videos don’t play. You only see the animated vimeo logo. I contacted vimeo and they said it had to do with the embed code. The Vimeo embed option on this forum gives the problems.
So instead of using [ VIMEO][/ VIMEO] you have to go to your vimeo video and click on the embed button. It will give you the code and you have to paste that in you’re post.
Later!
