Top Reply with quote

Sometime last night I began noticing a problem with YouTube -- attempting to navigate away from a video page or close the tab or browser would cause the browser to hang. I think they changed something on the site that makes it hang with the standard flash plugin (as an alternate plugin on Ubuntu worked fine). It also happened in Internet Explorer, and was noticed by others:

The solution is, as AnotherGamer says:

Well I'll be goddamned. I think I just managed to fix it. All I had to do was to adblock the other .swf responsible for showing other related videos in the video window after the main video is finished and that seemed to fix it entirely. They're at s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/PMS<whatever>.swf .


So if you are encountering this issue and using Firefox, install the Adblock Plus extension, and create a filter for:

Code:
s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/PMS*.swf

Comradekil:  so anyway, i wonder how everyone's lives all progressed.. who's in jail? who's grandparents now.. ha life
Drunken Monkey:  and yes....i do miss 1942 aswell, i honestly think it is what drove me to get a M1 garand in real live, and is still my most used rifle
Drunken Monkey:  bots are getting silly
Comradekil:  Sup dudes
Messy Recipe:  the BAR-1918 always felt so good in that game
Messy Recipe:  I miss vanilla 1942 as much as Pirates... need to see if the Origin version (or even original) still has anyone playing sometime

Stealth:  I saw a BF1942 fraps video of a guy jumping out of a plane and RPG'd another plane. I immediately came here for nostalgia. Miss you all.
Messy Recipe:  I've not tried Sea of Thieves... kinda was bummed to learn its servers don't allow many simultaneous players. gimme 32v32 galleon fights

Drunken Monkey:  merry Christmas you lot
[BB]Piccolo:  Anybody playing Sea of Thieves?
[BB]Piccolo:  I'm amazed I actually still knew my login. We Black Buccaneers certainly had a special relationship with you Cut Throats. Nothing like a fierce rivalry to make the battlefield exciting, eh? :)
