Can't view embedded videos...?

Post by redgroupclan »

I'm unable to view videos that like, I'm not directly viewing from a video website.
In the place of a video (or possibly picture too, I wouldnt know) there is an empty box, that contains nothing but a piece of paper with a picture on it in the top left corner.
Can someone tell me how to solve this problem so I can actually view videos that people post on forums or on news articles?

I use Internet Explorer.

FireFox is a solution, but when I'm using it I cant log in to FileFront.
And I havent even tried logging in to any other places.

Safari is arguably the best internet browser.

Give it a try.

QFT. Especially since safari 5 came out like, yesterday. Supposedly runs alot faster then google chrome. not sure how that compares to Firefox, though.

Firefox just doesn't run as well with lots of tabs and the bookmarking and history and stuff just isn't as smooth.

Sounds kinda funny, but when I installed Safari, I hated how you had to watch the safari intro. And the contents lagged lol, so thats my cheesecakey reason : D

Yeah, if you're on a Mac, Safari's fine. On Windows computers, though, it's not really that great. Plus it doesn't have extensions.

Chrome is good for most things, has extensions, plus it's HTML5 compliant and Webkit-based, though Firefox is what I primarily use due to Adblock Plus and Noscript.

When you say Filefront, what do you mean? Do you mean the network sites or the main page? Neither of them are really that important to log into anyway, but maybe we can get this problem resolved.

Safari 5 has extensions, is HTML5 compliant, has private browsing, is Webkit-based, and is currently the fastest browser available, for both mac and pc.

Here's more information : Apple.com - Safari 5

And a speed test results : Safari 5 - Speed

The forums.
They're the reason I made this topic.
I got sick of not being able to join in on topics and replies where the post was a video.
