Hi, I'm trying to report a bug but the website suddenly stopped working, I tried www.novell.com with the same result - a timeout. Does anyone know whats happening?

Works for me. Looks like they've changed the content. New US administration, new fresher site...

Yep, it did. And they don't have a real way to contact them to tell them how stupid the site now looks.

Flash based sites are SLOW and just plain waste bandwidth. What a friggin waste.

I use FlashBlock. It contains a white-list to which I add the few sites whose Flash animations I do want to see and clicking on the placeholders FlashBlock inserts in Flash elements unblocks them on a one-time basis.

As do I, but you still have to click some of them to use some sites. Once you get past the initial flash, you can usually bookmark what part of the site you actually need and those usually don't have flash.

Anything flash based is a waste of bandwidth IMO. 80% of flash is for ads, and they are generally so annoying I wouldn't click on them to buy anything anyway. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I use @-moz-document domain("www.novell.com") {#banner, #mainbody #news {display: none !important}} instead.

even if it isn't fully QA'ed and only partially works;-)

For instance KDE users have Konqueror as default and there is no Flash even if you want it, like youtube.com .

Huh? http://www.donutmonster.com/stuff/2009/20090121_konq_youtube.jpg It should work out of the box. That's on 10.3, but I know it works on my son's 11.1 laptop.

This works just fine on KDE 3.5x under 10.3 - wonder why it doesn't under 11.1.

This may or may not be related, but when I installed 11.0 Firefox, Opera and Konq all had problems with sites with Flash content. Deinstalling and reinstalling Flashplayer solved the problem. :-?

Replying to my own email - I tried out Konqeuror on KDE 3.5x under 11.1. Even though Flash is installed it doesn't actually show Youtube (or lego.com) content:

That's it. Under 11.1 KDE4 works fine. It runs right now in another session. Why not? Missing correct path for KDE3 Konqueror? -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
