At least not if I want to use my favorite browser Firefox. It seems to work in MSIE, but I don't like that browser. Do others have the same problem, or is it just my Firefox that can't load this site? Quote Link to comment

As much as I like Firefox's speed and security you can't beat IE for functionality. I'm still trying to add and tweak all the ad-ons on Firefox just to get stuff to work. It's a real pain. That's what we get for "free" Quote Link to comment
eaolson Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 The site works just fine for me in Firefox.

If anything, it seems to me you get less in IE. You can't extend it nearly as easily; I can't live without mouse gestures anymore. Hmm, or AdBlock. There are also enough @#$!%$ CSS positioning hacks necessary to get stuff to look right in IE that it always drives me up the wall. Quote Link to comment

Works just fine in my Firefox, are you saying you can't use firefox for youtube videos? try installing/adding a plugin for flv players. Quote Link to comment
LAVA 1.0 Content Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 If your company has a content filtering system like Websense then the VI Road Show page will load, but the video frames will appear blank. The best you can do is watch these videos from home :thumbdown: or hope that NI can find a place to host these videos on their own servers... Quote Link to comment

Ahem... let me break out the ole bullhorn for this one: [squeeeaaaawk!] MOST U.S GOVERNMENT FACILITIES CANNOT VIEW YOUTUBE VIDEOS! [squeee...click!] This *may* be of interest to any corporation that has a good chunk of their customers behind government firewalls.... Quote Link to comment
LAVA 1.0 Content Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I guess to be fair we should know if this blog is a labor of love (personal time & effort) or an NI sponsored activity. I think Colin started the blog, but don't know how Brian and Todd became involved. Much of the previous YouTube content was third party (Lego stuff for example) and linked to from the blog. Some of it was NI source, such as the Halloween demos and a Future version of LabVIEW spoof (something about boring meetings and flowers for the wife). Maybe there is some way to proxy serve YouTube videos? (Premium LAVA members only ) Quote Link to comment

IE Tab is how I tried MSIE for this site :thumbup: Anyway I don't like using it - especially if I don't know if the page I am visiting is worth it. I just tried on my private computer: it works fine with Firefox. Maybe it's some problem with one of my addons. I don't think I will invest much time to dig further into this... One thing I can say for shure: there is no firewall that prevents us from watching youtube videos at work Quote Link to comment
