Jim Alfredson Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Posted December 22, 2009 It sounds like you're having Java issues. I'm not sure of the solution but I believe it has something to do with allowing javascript within your browser's security controls.
Peter Johnson Posted December 22, 2009 Report Posted December 22, 2009 I'm having the same issue with topics in which Jim posts (giant blank space/forum freezing). IE8; not sure what version of Windows (citrix-operated, fwiw).
Jim Alfredson Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Posted December 22, 2009 What if I totally erased my signature?
Lazaro Vega Posted December 28, 2009 Report Posted December 28, 2009 Hi Jim, I'm having that white space problem, too, with your posts. Very long segment of white space until the end. Was trying to find an older post yesterday, and wasn't able to locate the tab that allows you to back up a subject 60 days, 90 days or longer. Is that still around somewhere? LV
Van Basten II Posted December 28, 2009 Report Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Think it was JAW who found out how to take care of the problem, if you use the latest IE version, you should have besides your browser a button that looks like a ripped sheet, press on it. It should take care of the problem Edited December 28, 2009 by Van Basten II
Lazaro Vega Posted December 29, 2009 Report Posted December 29, 2009 Not seeing that. Next to the icon you click to get started with Explorer?
J.A.W. Posted December 29, 2009 Report Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) Not seeing that. Next to the icon you click to get started with Explorer? Only when you use IE8. The button is only visible when you visit a site that has compatibility problems with IE8 and it can be found next to the address bar at the top. Edited December 29, 2009 by J.A.W.
king ubu Posted December 30, 2009 Report Posted December 30, 2009 I've been browsing at home with Opera for almost two weeks now and there are no problems at all. Have gotten used to the new design - all very good, in my opinion! (I guess the problems will start again with IE7 at work... but I don't make think of work yet!)
Chas Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 The 'Insert Media' functionality works for files hosted at Youtube , but it doesn't work for files hosted at DivShare . I've tried 'media' , 'code' and 'html' tags to no avail .
Ed S Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) I'm having the same issue with topics in which Jim posts (giant blank space/forum freezing). IE8; not sure what version of Windows (citrix-operated, fwiw). I was having this trouble at both home and work. I resolved it at home by switching to Firefox - which I like a lot. At work, all of our computers are locked down insofar as downloading is concerned - so I did not have that option. We're using Internet Explorer 7 and I get the posts with the huge blank spaces, forum freezing and all the words of a post aligned vertically along the left of the screen. Today, I noticed the little box in the lower left corner that says IP.Board. It's a drop-down box and gives the option to switch to IP.Board Lo-Fi. I tried that - and the board definitely takes on a Lo-Fi appearance - but all of those aforementioned posting abnormalities disappeared. Edited January 13, 2010 by Ed Swinnich

Jim Alfredson Posted February 20, 2010 Author Report Posted February 20, 2010 You use the media tag around a weblink. In other words, the mp3 must be hosted on a site somewhere. Just like embedding an image (not attaching it).
Chas Posted February 20, 2010 Report Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) As I said , I've already tried wrapping the link in various tags , but all I get is a clickable link not a Flash Player which should appear like this : Edited February 20, 2010 by Chas
Jim Alfredson Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Posted February 21, 2010 There is only one media tag. It's [media][/media]

Jim Alfredson Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Posted February 21, 2010 Well, to test the media tags as a regular member, I logged in under my wife's account and posted the above. She's a regular member like you and as you can see, it works fine. So I don't know what to tell you. What is the link address of the file you're trying to embed?
Chas Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Here's what you get when you wrap a Divshare file's URL in media tags : http://www.divshare.com/download/10551657-b34 Divshare provides <object></object> tags as well , but using the 'insert code snippet' function doesn't embed the flash player either , since html posting is disabled .
Jim Alfredson Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Posted February 22, 2010 Yes html posting is disabled because it's too risky. I don't get what you're trying to do. Are you trying to embed that link above? That's not a media file, it's just a link, so it's going to be treated as a link.
Chas Posted February 22, 2010 Report Posted February 22, 2010 Yes html posting is disabled because it's too risky. I don't get what you're trying to do. Are you trying to embed that link above? That's not a media file, it's just a link, so it's going to be treated as a link. I'm trying to embed the flash player that you see when you go to that link . HTML coding can't be the only way right , since youtube videos can be embedded by wrapping media tags around a Youtube URL ?
Jim Alfredson Posted February 22, 2010 Author Report Posted February 22, 2010 Youtube videos can be embedded because there is special code in this software to deal with it. I don't think we have code for divshare.
Chas Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 I don't think we have code for divshare. In your Admin Control Panel you could make a custom BBcode tag for it like this couldn't you ? : [divshare]{SIMPLETEXT}[/divshare] HTML replacement code for the tag would be : <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="335" height="28" id="divplaylist"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId={SIMPLETEXT}" /> <embed src="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId={SIMPLETEXT}" width="335" height="28" name="divplaylist" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"> </embed> </object> You could even create a button in the post editor for it if you wanted , but that wouldn't be necessary for me .
Jim Alfredson Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Posted February 23, 2010 http://www.divshare....ad/10551657-b34 You almost had the code right, but thanks to you I figured it out. Just use the media tags. There you go! See if this one works, too.

There you go! Great ! Thank you ! I think this will be helpful to others as well . BTW , is there any hope still for a large-font reading option for the board ?
