Aaah....

his excluder programme may well have been activated deliberately, or not.....

Very sophisticated piece of technocra9p, it deliberately disenfranchises some readers, even though they have paid their membership fees to him.....

Sounds very similar to the Con Party..... (deliberate shortening) 🙃

As forums go its remarkably reliable and stable. I dont believe there are any issues with it. Certainly the problem of some video clips not playing appear to be down to the individual devices coping with different types of clips. Its probably a good reason for youtube as Youtube sorts out any format issues and plays the clip on a common platform. If it did crash the other night, nobody else had that issue.

Strewth Barry, a hundred tabs open? It's rare for me to have four open and even then I try to limit that number.

Seems hit and miss for me on Baz inc using Win10 Pro via Edge. Doesn't seem to make any difference going via Chrome or Firefox.
But I have always had a problem viewing a linked video here on mhf unless I see and click the YouTube link first.

I have over a hundred in total, as I open each one it uses memory, I normally get to 40-50 open then have to reboot as the pc starts to slow down.
I do read all the newspapers in a morning as well as all the forums and the facebook groups I belong to not forgetting the weather forcast, these open tabs soon build up.

Its pretty clear to me that the issues people are having with videos is nothing to do with either this forum or Fruitcakes, its the type of file that is posted and an incompatibility with certain devices and browsers. Thats why youtube, Vimeo and usually facebook work. Youtube and Vimeo accept nearly every format of video but they play it back in a format that pretty much every device and browser can cope with. Roger on FC posts all sorts of short clips from a variety of sources as do many people now and this clearly creates a problem for some particularly it seems on mobile devices. Not much I can do about it.

That probably explains things then as yes I use YouTube but not Vimeo or anything else so I may well not have encountered that problem.

Apologies for not realising your IT savvy state - I just gave the usual sort of advice that I can manage.

I think if I have 10 tabs open that's more than enough.... I could never cope with 100+ as it must be hard to see what each one is.....

Yep, I usually only have Skype, WhatsApp, mhf, AOL open all day. Anything else gets closed as soon as I have used or viewed.
