    Chrome


    -----------------



    Firefox 8.0.1 for me ,Chrome is googles spying machine it logs everything you've been on since the day you installed it to googles servers (its in the t+c's nobody reads when you install it)

    Install Firefox Will and you will be able to inbed youtube vids

    Its a point that I raised with the technical boffins at Everton who inform me "We embedded a YT video with no issue from Chrome. Maybe the user is posting the wrong link? The embedding is handled server-side so it doesn't make a difference in terms of the browser being used."

    OGV.....seriously, about 98 people have been through all this with the webteam before you..... Even as resently as Milky being told that it was too expensive to post pictures on the previous forum temptlate only for us to find out that ripple effect had actually turned images off....but they'd only turned it off for people who were signed in.....and so you could actually post an image.....it not show up....until you logged out and viewed the forum without being able to post.

    That is the level of the webteam....they have no interest in the place, its more of a hinderance than anything else to them....but it brings people to the site every day and adds to their marketing stats.....other than that its only purpose is its continued rehash of free forum templates to justify ripples effects bills.

    Honestly....I don't know anyone whose demostrated more patience and good will towards the webteam that milky....and even he's spat the dummy.

    I don't want you to do anything specifically....I'm just letting you know that trying to sort this place out has never worked and many people have tried it before now.......I mentioned all this to Milky when he started moderating the BR and he said he had faith in the webteam.

    All I'm saying is that you are more than likley wasting your time thats all.

    Your response from them though....'this is the first we've heard of a complaint' etc.....is actually taking the **** tbf....

    I know mate, but leave it with me.  If I get nowhere then you can give me the "told you" speech!   ;-)
