Hi there my YouTube is really slow I'm having to wait for the red bar a very long time. It can't keep up with me watching so I watch a few seconds and then it stops for about a minute and a half and so on! It was weird earlier it has silky smooth anyone else have this problem? P.S. I tried other video streaming websites so is definately not my connection.

Perhaps you should do like quite many others. :smile: Press pause and let the thing load fully before watching. YouTube is one of the largest video streaming services in teh internet so I don't think it's far fetched that they're simply low on bandwidth. :smile:

you can also download the videos from youtube with the
"video downloader" extension for firefox, works with most
"watch only" video sites. just wait for the whole thing to load
before trying to save it.

I love both the internet and the people who inhabit it.

Why would a 44KB image that's externally linked need a warning? :razz:

And this is coming from an innocent soul?

I wrongfully assumed Orpheus would be anal about an image on the page. I guess he's too good for that now. :rolleyes:

Actually Stadric you missed two points.

1) You're more valued than he is and
2) I was defending you.

I was responding to his arguments not yours.

Now who's missing points?
