Scolling banner

Post by terry666 »   0 likes

The banner with all the videos looks great, and usually it is not a problem. But it's hard on my VNC viewer. For obvious reasons, I don't connect to this site directly from work. Rather, I use VNC viewer to connect to my home PC and browse FLM that way. The moving banner that is on EVERY page, makes it hard for VNC to keep up.

Sorry to bitch about this, and I don't expect you to change anything. I just wanted to let you know.

Yes. Its pretty but a bit top-heavy for low bandwidth users. Once it is in the browser cache things are fine for me, but the first load of the page is a bit of a drag.

Thanks, but I just noticed all I have to do is right-click the banner, and uncheck 'Play' in the pop-up menu. I should have thought of that before...

Sure.. .Disable the flash player in your browser, if you don't wanna play it ;)

Is there a way to only temporally disable the flash player?

I don't see this banner you speak of, and don't recall ever seeing it. I use Firefox and also have ActiveX blocked by my firewall, maybe that's why.

In any case, for Firefox I recommend the Flashblock extension, it replaces all flash animations with a button you can click if you want to see it (there's also a whitelist). Kills a lot of annoying stuff, without having to alter any settings.
