Hi again. The flash problem turned out to be a video problem. Flash is fine but Kaffeine will not play quick time. Starts ok but slowly looses the video and eventually crashes. The site is: http://www.reggieband.com/flash_guitar/video/ Still wondering about the long page download on ebay? Regards John PS If anybody else tries opera install motif or there will be a misleading error message. Hi When I go to ebay (.co.uk) I get a long pregnant pause about when the offers should appear in the middle of the screen. Konq eventually comes up with the offers. I'm taking a look at opera. This does the same thing but eventually comes up with the following: Network problem You tried to access the address http://uk.ebayobjects.com/1ai/ebay.uk.homepageinactive/inactive;dcopt=ist;sz=275x100;tile=8;ord=1140788262916;, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page. ...........blah blah blah And then under ebay recommends: Network problem You tried to access the address http://uk.ebayobjects.com/1ai/ebay.uk.homepageinactive/inactive;tn=2;to=h;tr=2;tw=240;ta=center;szs=100x100,100x100;ord=1140788262916;, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page. ...............Blah blah blah. Impressive - a sort of mini web page appears in the centre of the page with help and support links too. Not that I'm complaining about konq but have had problems with this and flash on some sites. Hence opera. Also unlike firefox and mozilla it has a plug in that allows any mime type to be associated with any application. The Konq problem started about the time ebay introduced myebay's for visitors pages. It also now throws up the state of myebay in a small scrollable area of the screen if it recognises the user, maybe any user via some odd sort of cookie. Looks like the above is the cause of the problem. Is something messed up or is this a bug? (maybe it's down to the pre release of explorer 7 for web site testing.) Also any thoughts on flash starting ok but slowly loosing the image? Regards John -- Suse 10.0 KDE 3.4.2 B ___________________________________________________ .
