Well lets not get into a big argument about this. I think we can all agree that having a "disable this, reinstall that" message isn't a viable solution to the problem -- it's just temporary fix. So lets try to find a workable solution.
I did a bit of testing on a few different platforms, and here's what I've come up with: - Mac, FF2 with adblock, Flash 10: functional - Mac, FF3 with adblock, Flash 10: non-functional - Mac, FF3 with adblock disabled, Flash 10: non-functional - Vista, FF3, no adblock, Flash 10 I think: non-functional I actually haven't had any luck getting the script to work by disabling adblock, and I'm far too lazy to uninstall it. I'm kind of wondering if this really is the issue. On Thu, Dec 11, 2008 at 12:01 PM, Avangelist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > Hold the frikkin phone..
