You Tube access on Forum

John Walden · Post by **John Walden** » 27 Dec 2006 8:17 am

Happy Hollidays everyone, I would sure like to watch the you tube videos on the Forum, but it doesn't work for me. I'm running a Mac G-4, os X, 10.2.8, with high speed DSL. When I click on the post,you tube video, it says, loading, but it never plays. What am I missing to make it work?
Thanks, J. W.

Are you using Firefox? If not, you should!

Basilh, LOL, I think the problem envolves more than just patience. b0b, no, I am using Netscape 7.2. Netscape has usually worked fine for quite awhile. As per the greay and black lines underneath the box, the black line surpases the gray line. instantly. I can move the circle or locator, which is red when clicked on.
There is no play button. When I click on the bars underneath, the black screen says loading. And will stay that way forever. ??? I have no problems viewing other links, but U tube, no way. Thanks guys, J. W.

John;
YouTube videos are based on the newest incarnation of the now Adobe Flash Encoder and Player. You probably have an out-dated version of the former owner - Macromedia - Flash Player installed in that older browser. Updating to the newest Flash Player is tricky business. I would recommend totally uninstalling all of your Flash Player files, then reboot, then download the newest version of Flash from Adobe.com, close your browsers, then open them and try viewing YouTube again.
