Thread Name: BS: Techy - how do you spot Flash sites?
Subject: RE: BS: Techy - how do you spot Flash sites?
er thanks Clinton - I don't have Flash - deliberately. The Flash movie insists on loading in it's entirety until the Certificate dialog inviting me to download Flash. I usually eyeball the modem on 100% Rx and give-up after 30 seconds.
What I was looking for was a quick way to know if the solid download was a Flash movie or big picture, they amount to the same thing - unecessary delay.
Another three problems with Flash, it prints as per screen - using loads of ink, and you cannot "save as" a page sitting in a browser off-line (after disconnect) and you cannot see where hyperlinks go (not on right click > properties anyway).
One guy offers web design service and has not re-instated my link after his Flashy revamp despite reminders over two years - I see him often and he is not being funny with me but it does make yer wonder!
