The admin here is very interested in meeting the needs of the members. As for the ipad thing, that is not why it was changed, but flash does enable those wanting to watch on their phones (not just Apple products) or other devices possible, which is another thing that was highly requested.

So if you had no problems and everything was fine, you don't count coz your not complaining. Remind me to constantly request the next site I like not to change a *** **** thing, perhap if the people who had no problem constantly complained we had no problem things might be different. As it stands those who had no problem and now have a problem can go to hell because they like our original site but they don't matter because we are going to suit the complainers. Well flip this back to front No profanity here Yes, there was what some consider profanity, so I have edited it out. Re-edited so as not to confuse you so much.

Lucky you.... wish I had that luck

I wish i had your broadband speed and you don't often see upload more than download

I count as much as the next person. I don't like that flash uses more bandwidth, but that doesn't mean I can't see the reasons for the changes. I have not had issues with buffering, so that could just be one of the glitches that still need to be worked out. You are not the one who has had to field the complaints about RP - and not all of them are still visible in the forum, so you really don't know how big an issue it was. I'm not going to argue the point, because the decision was made & has been enacted by admin. If you really want reimbursement, you need to send a PM to lbjedward explaining your situation. He will take care of that for you, but please be patient. It may take up to a week.

With the new Adobe flash it is streaming slower, any thoughts?

actually the upload is normally around 3-4mb but its late here at the moment.

The things i find works for me is Chrome and i plan ahead of what i want to watch by pausing the next episode and allow it to buff while i watch the current episode

GOD? Tomorrow at church I'll tell Fr. Anthony to mind his profanities. I never realised he had such a filthy mouth especially during the Profession of Faith " *** from ***, light from light, true *** from true *** " Terrible language that is, I'll get me mother to give him a clip behind the ear for that.

waterlilybarb

Of course God is not a profanity. Pairing it with damn is what some find offensive. I meant to edit both words.

Well did a test, I watched part of a free episode on my HTC Evo over a wireless connection with less than 1 mb connection.

thanks very much

I have watched dexter series 4 episode 1 just and it has frozen 3 times meaning I have had to restart the episode again and fwd to the relevant place. This was very frustrating. i never had these problems before the upgrade today. Please advise

waterlilybarb

I understand your frustration as I have had to do the same thing today with the show I'm watching (Grey's Anatomy season 3). The only thing I can suggest for now is to keep doing what you're doing, It seems the more popular shows getting more hits are having a bit more trouble than older episodes. Seeing as this is only the first day with flash, I would guess it's a bug, but we'll have to wait & see. I will make a post in Site Management for when another of the mods comes online who is more technically proficient, as they might be able to provide a better explanation. Thank you for your patience as the bugs get worked out of the new system.

I did not have problems with rp but when watching today smallville,Ahh after 30 mins frozen, After a few times switched the Us server and better. So I tried a free prog. and after 10 mins the same. So not happy.

baybaykids3

I think that this is just great but I just lost points trying to watch Smallville. It just stopped in the middle and never started again. I still have not received my lost points from the mess with real player. Will I ever see my points again?

arksongbird80

Yes you will see your points again because LBJ will refund you. PM him and he tell him your deal. PATIENCE PEOPLE!!! Progress is always something that takes time and patience. It's been 24hrs. Things never work out they way they are suppose to right at the beginning. If all this drama is hapenning in a month, or even a couple weeks then I would say raise a riot. But MANY of you aren't giving the moderators, the system or website the time it needs to adjust. For people who've been on the site a number of years, give the creators a chance to "wow" you. Some of you may be surprised. My humble opinion.

waterlilybarb

For lost points, please send a PM to lbjedward. Do NOT tick the box next to "Save a copy in outbox", as the PM will only get sent to you. You do have 30 clicks/24 hours on the initial click to watch an episode. If you sent a PM before, you can also remind LBJ of the other points you are still missing. Check your tracking and get the info from the original PM if you do not remember which episode/s you lost them on. It seems Smallville is having the most difficulty today, so I'm not sure if there is a problem with that upload or just a lot of traffic for that epi.

waterlilybarb

Well said.
