OMG... So many sources of Javascript bloatware.

I had to white-list a dozen domains. Sheesh.

If I load one of the video pages, I get a spinning
blue circle, and no video. Hitting "unpause" doesn't
start the video.

But moving the position cursor, and only then hitting
"unpause" plays the video.

I'm afraid my setup is too different from yours to be
of any relevance. So it's just a random data point.

I have tried toggling the second setting both ways and it makes no

Could you provide an URL for testing purposes?

Go to aol.com and select any news article.  For me the headline video 
plays automatically every time.

Searching for a From or Subject string does work.

The same  is happening when I search local system archives other news

Anyone else seen this problem or know what might cause it?


I seem to recall that you might need to download the newsgroup posts 
onto your hard drive in order to do a search of the posts, because 
the NG posts are not, normally, downloaded onto your hard drive!!


Note the reference in my above post to "local system archives. " The 
emails ARE on my HD if I have read them, which I have.


And now, I must report that "Option" has entirely disappeared from 
the drop-down box of search options, although all the other search 
options continue to be listed. What the heck is going on??


Yes, your emails are on your hard drive, but you said you were 
searching this newsgroup and the messages are not.


You are reading the content from the server, only the Header is 
downloaded.


First download and install SeaMonkey 2.48 released 2017-07-31.



Then select the newsgroup Account > View settings for this account > 
Synchronization & Storage, then click the "Select newsgroups for 
offline use..." button and select the newsgroup, then try your search 
again.


Duh!! I see I was getting myself a bit confused above. Thought I had 
been able to search for content in the news groups previously, but I 
think I was actually searching the subject line - haven't done it for so 
long. Have set things for offline use as you explain above, can now 
search the contents. Thanks for the heads-up..
