Video Highlights

[Rooster]

Have you popups blocked as that will stop them from working.
Try the video below and see if it downloads and plays for you.

I've turned off the popup blocker and it still won't work on the website.

When I click that link you sent it opens it up in WMP on my computer. That's a start!

......... at the bottom of the WMP screen there should be a counter counting upwards - Buffering xx% complete.

[Gemma]

Yep, that worked ok, and I could see it then. Is that what's meant to happen? I thought we'd be able to watch them actually on the site like we used to...

The video should open in the black box on the page Gemma, it leaves it that you don't have extra popups or media player opening, then to watch the next video just click the link and it will appear when it loads, if that is happening then all is well and how it is supposed to work.

[Gemma]

Nope, when I click on the link I just get a red X in the top left corner where the black box used to be.

[Rooster]

Did they work for you up until this week Gemma ?

[Gemma]

They worked until the site was revamped. I have to confess I hadn't tried them since then.

Gemma , go to "Tools" "Internet Options" "Advanced" then about 2 thirds of the way down you will find "Multimedia" check that "Play animations in webpages" has a tick in the box.

try above also check that you have not blocked popups for the site and also that iframes are not blocked.

Whilst discussing the videos following the site re-vamp:

When I go to the video page, I get:

video.JPG (13.42 KiB) Viewed 498 times

I have to scroll about 3/4 way down the page below the Ads to then get this:

video scrolled.JPG (10.51 KiB) Viewed 498 times

It is not a problem - just thought I would mention it while we are on the subject.

Checked the internet options, and those things were checked. I've tried turning the popup blocker completely off and still getting the stupid red X.

Nothing like a challenge first thing on a Monday morning!

Try a Ctrl F5 refresh.
I can't replicate this error you're getting cables.

[Setanta]

Well, if its any help, that's what I get too; same as Cables I need to scroll down a page and a bit.

[pwrmoore]

Happens to me on my Work Laptop running IE6 but is fine on my home PC running IE7. The topleft of the video screen seems to be keying off the bottom right of the google ads box.

[cables]

IE6 here. Glad it is not only me. Ctrl F5 did nothing new.

I think I have a sense of what you are saying PWRM.

My observation is that the video stuff initially loads (fleetingly) in the expected position top centre of screen. By the time the remainder of the page loads, the video stuff has been bumped down below the ads.

I can live with it no problem.
