The last picture show?

Post by along-for-the-ride »

I've been visiting My Favorite Videos and lately, there are no videos showing up. Just a big white box with a tiny square at the top. Is it me...or Forum Garden?

I see that quite clearly.

My browser uses a different interface to play embedded media to that used when downloading it and it can sometimes report an error that does not appear when pulling the same file from youtube. It is possible that your is having the same problem.

In those instances I right click on the link and select "play file from Youtube" (or whatever the source is) which then works. Could be worth trying.

I can view it fine in IE8. Seems maybe an updated is needed for flash player. What browser are you using IE6 and IE7 are coming up with compatibality errors lately time to upgrade to IE8.



Could be anything virus, spam, trojan hijack.

I can see them clearly too... I had some pop up messages recently, saying that there might be problems seeing some streaming media unless I upgraded to IE8...I did and no probs!

I've already been on IE8. I have AVG running also.

I found the following website and read the answers:

I cannot view some videos and pictures on IE8.

Hmmmmmmmmmm......I'm wondering if I have been recently blocked by the Administraters here at FG from viewing and embedding videos. :-3

PS. I can't even embedd a video in My Favorite Videos anymore. I just tried it.

I am so relieved. I just updated my Adobe Flash player and the problem has been solved. I can see the videos again at My favorite Videos.

I do appreciate the support you have given me here. :-4:)

Its probably something you said or did to make some one mad and they took your video watching privelages away. You might try apologizing.
