Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Thanks for the bump, In Wales.  Now I can't get the videos to work!  They start and then hang after a couple of seconds.  Any technical whizzes got any suggestions?

Hmmm, I don't know why.  It is no different for me from usual.  Some take longer to load and playing catches up with the limit to how much is loaded, but once it has loaded once it runs without a problem.  Others run without catching at all.

Perhaps the series needs a note at the bottom of the main text saying how some people have had problems with the videos in firefox, when there are too many on the page and suggesting using another browser for the rest.

Apparently it's a problem with the current version of flash player, you can sort it by removing flash player, and getting an oder version from the net and reinstaling it.

apart from that the only reccomended way of dealing is to use ie....

Doh!  I just installed the latest version of flash player!  That explains it.  Any reason why it works sometimes but not others?

Apparently. I also get the problem with firefox. The diary works with IE7.

Great diary, rg! I want to post some more vids before giving you mojo, but what you say about music and culture and breaking out of bounds is something I... resonate with.
