Re: Help please |
I use firefox at work and IE at home, both of them stop after 1 track at least 50% of the time through the flash player.
I think the last time I tried to stream a link through WMP it stopped after the first song two but was multitasking so much I forgot to go back and see why it stopped.
If that helps any.
Also, if this isn't already known, in IE the item images are huge and not re-sized like that you used to be in the upper left hand corner of the item.

Re: Help please |
1)
The Archive has lots of streaming problems with the on-page Flash Player. My posting provides the technical details. The continuity of contiguous track-playing from The Archive's audio streaming sources is completely unreliable and unpredictable. I first noticed this new problem in early July, 2010.
Swapping browsers is NOT the answer. This response is Pathetic!
What's important to consider is the fact that many corporate and institutional client browsers are stuck using IE. These networks are managed and run by IT deptartments, not us individuals. 150,000 of us residents in Fort Collins gave our public libraries voter-approved property tax hikes 3 years ago. Now our libraries are bigger, stay open longer, and we have more internet computers to use. All this is going on while many other towns are shutting down theirs, limiting hours, cutting back on staff and maintenance. Everything is free to the public in my Library. It's 100% Internet Exploder there.
IE is my last-choice browser, but we all have to deal with it. I only use IE to verify that my web page designs will render properly in IE. I do this at home for all my projects and items on The Archive. But, I still go to my library in Fort Collins, and I make sure everything works correctly on their computers using IE. That's my drop-dead web browser rendering test.
2) Noise Collector said, "in IE the item images are huge and not re-sized like that you used to be in the upper left hand corner of the item."
Yes, this is a Known Problem that I described in this posting on May 14, 2010.
3) There is another annoying bug with The Archive's web page in IE. The trouble occurs with the web page "wrapper" when The Forum web pages are rendered in IE. This bug BEGAN at the SAME TIME as the "images are huge" problem, above, described in #2 -- sometime in early May, 2010.
This problem is that when IE renders the web pages from The Forums, the "Poster / Date / Forum / Subject" area flies way out to the right side of the page. The page structuring falls apart in this scenario. It looks very ugly.
screen capture shows another IE problem -- "area flies way out to the right side of the page"
4) Now The Archive's Admins have recently removed the Embed privileges that had been previously granted to Item Admins like myself. This is exactly the wrong time to be pulling down this perk. Big Mistake!
Glenn Beck will be the ultimate "Archivist" for all us, if this stuff continues to plummet out of sight. Mr. Beck is busy rewriting the entire body of work of Our History. Our Real History is being erased and eliminated.

Re: Help please |
All I know is that I use Firefox;never IE. I can't give a link because it does it on every show I listen to. Probably is Glenn Becks' fault! Thanks.

Re: Help please |
I apologize for saying pathetic, but I hugely respect and admire The Archive's resources and staff.
RE: "

Strangely, this bug is only seen from The Forums' web pages. Items' web pages render fine, without flying out to the right. I've seen the same screwy thing on the Fort Collins Library computers running IE.The Archive's audio and video streams work okay at my Library. I'm just saying I can "receive" data streams okay. I've not sat there and checked for contiguous tracks of GD concerts uninterrupted. That's likely broken. Each computer has headphones. I check everything on My Items' web pages that are new designs or upgrades of mine. This way, people won't be yelling at me for making mistakes.
I've designed scores of web pages on The Forums, and I've linked many of them into clusters and indices. All of a sudden, last May, they started looking like crap in Internet Exploder. There's something wrong with the way IE is parsing The Archive's HTML Table Data (and class?) tags for the "Poster / Date / Forum / Subject" area.
Furthermore, the "Poster / Date / Forum / Subject" area does not appear in Item's web pages on The Archive. This probably explains why this rendering problem is limited to web pages from The Forums -- ONLY.
Otherwise, Firefox and Opera work fine rendering The Forums web pages, and, the streaming works much better.
And, if Rastamon happens to come by here and jump into this thread, hurry up and fix this stuff, will ya?

hear hear! (after eliminating the "re")
Look into a typical ultralibs eye's, body language, facial expressions. Try to look into their soul. Folks like Rohm Emmanuel's or Al Gore's.
If you don't discern a weasel and a fraud, God help you.
God bless Glenn Beck.

RE: "

visit my Taper's home page on The Archive
another Item ADMIN request for you, Jeff:
Can you please give us the privilege to use Anchor Names? I'd like to link browsing clients - who are browsing and searching on The Archive's Forums - to exact locations on some of my web pages I've created and maintained here. The Anchor Name tag is being stripped, along with Java Scripts and Embeds. Please restore The Embeds privilege for Item Admins, and give us permission to use Anchor Name tags on our Items.
If I wasn't working for free doing this stuff - working for myself, on my own time and at my own expense - I wouldn't be asking you guys this stuff.
Thank You - all of you, for everything we have on The Archive!
eTree dot Org is your best partner. Thank You all!420bikeandhike AT gmail dot com
Peace

Re: Help please |
i'll need to look into the status of javascript and embeds with an engineer. as for anchor tags, i just created an item with an anchor tag with no problem so i'm a bit unclear on what you're trying to do..

Re: Help please |
Sorry Jeff, I should have said TAG NAMES, not Anchor names. My bad. I'm not sure exactly "how" to say it.
To allow people to link to an
arbitrary point on my web pages -- My Archive Items, in this case -- an Admin like myself would require the privilege to do the following:
Create the tags < A NAME="TAGNAME" > arbitrary point < /A > using HTML coding to link to the desired point on my pages.
I would like to create a bookmark inside a document, by using the name attribute. Then Admins like me would create links inside MY Items by doing this HTML coding:
< A HREF="Archive-dot-org/Item_name#TAGNAME" >click here for the exact arbitrary point on my web page< /A >.
For the time being, TAGNAME TAGS are getting stripped when I submit them to the Meta Data editor's
description or notes fields in My Items. I can only anchor a link to the TOP of my web pages. Some web pages are lengthy. Use of
Tag Names makes browsing very efficient - for both readers AND web designers.

Re: Help please |
