How does your browser work when a video is embedded in a post?

by The JuggerNitt on Jun 29, 2009 4:59 PM EDT

I know I (and others) have complained about this before, but it doesn't seem to be that widespread of a problem (or at least enough to urge others to complain).

The issue I have is that whenever a post contains an embedded video, the comments section loses all the nice functionality (mainly that I can't mark comments as read, or automatically scroll through). This wouldn't bother me so much, except that if someone replies to an earlier post, I have NO idea where that post is, since everything is still highlighted for me (unless I browse away, and then back).

I figured I would poll people to see if this is a browser specific thing, or if it is something else that only affects a subset of users (such as operating system, but that would have made this poll too complex, though if this poll isn't conclusive, then perhaps I will do another one with OS).

I currently use IE8 on Vista, but I also had problems with IE7 on Vista.

Hahahahahaha, I just used "z" to unmark your comment

That’s funny.

Thanks guys

I have the same problem with the z not working. I asked the tech support guys to look at it and they couldn’t figure it out. So I just asked them again. Hopefully they can find the problem.

Did you tell your IT guys why you wanted to use the z button?

I figured they would have firewalled BSD, or reported you for doing that at work. I know most of the IT guys at the internship I had for the past two summers at the place my Dad used to work for were pretty much the stereotypical IT holier-than-though pricks who only talked to each other in a respectful way, and had that “Your a complete idiot” attitude with most everybody else that had a problem with their computer. Or were you talking about for home use, and just asking them what the deal was?

I think Mike was talking

about the SBN tech support.

At work I am blessed with some pretty level guys in the IT dept. However, I can see how they could easily lose their patience though since about 30% of the workforce here is 55+ and would make me want to replace their computers with an etch-a-sketch.

No

I sent it to the SB Nation IT guys. They sent me an email saying they are able to recreate the problem so they are going to work on it.

Sorry, my bad

I read your original post somehow as “tech support guys at work” in my head, I’m not sure why, maybe my mind jumped to the IT guys at the place I used to work for, and that’s why my mind added the extra word.
