Title: The Off Topic Thread
Post by: HerpyDooves on 2012 Oct 14, 21:31:32
I don't know if I'm crossing some sort of line when I say this, but this thread's purpose is to be off-topic. There is no topic, so no matter what, you're always off-topic. Usually if you're bored or something, you can just come here and not have to worry about staying on-topic the whole time. Enjoy!

Cupcakes are a nutritious source of random.

Pinkie Pie is Best Pony  :D

It's too cold outside.  Once the snow flies i'll have to dig out the trusty old flamethrower.


I could have fun here   ovO

This isn't off topic! First, we must have a topic, and stray away from it! That, is truly off topic.

I love powdered donuts but chocolate mini donuts are my favorite, especially taking a small bite then dipping them in milk. ovO

I thought that song was from Chrono trigger, it was one of my favorite games to play after I broke my arm. Since I couldn't really use a computer while my arm was in a splint.  :D

Ok, I have to ask... Has anyone else had problems with Youtube lately?

For me, sometimes a video will stop buffering, and once I get to the end of the buffered part, it just sits there with that bubbly loading/buffering circle. Sometimes, while I'm watching, the video will suddenly jump back to the start, or if I pause it and then click Play (Making absolutely sure that I click play, not the time bar), it might restart me at the beginning.

I end up having to refresh the page a few times, or leave the page and go to it again to get the video working properly. I'm getting really tired of this. :l

It's not like I'm getting randomly disconnected from the internet. And I tried using Firefox instead of Chrome to watch a video I was having trouble with, and I still had the problem.

That happens to me too, occasionally. But it doesn't happen all the time. I just refresh whenever it happens and stuff.

How up to date is your flash player do you know? It could be causing issues, and an old flash player can also probably lag youtube itself. I've actually had an odd issue where the time bar no longer works or the video will just freeze like the connection gave up. It doesn't happen that often to me though just sometimes.

You can update your flash player here.

Just make sure you uncheck whatever optional thing they want you to install.

... Oh. :o That's interesting. I didn't know that. Then again, I've noticed Chrome seems to keep updating itself. I only notice when buttons change design and stuff.

lol What the hay?! I'd actually guess that's a shoujo (target demographic = girls) anime. Not that shonen (target demographic = boys) anime can't have silly moments. They're just usually not at that degree of weird silliness.

I get this problem with Netflix.  I think my issue is because I changed the DNS to trick my Wii/Netflix into thinking i'm American.  Silly Netflix.
So Now I have American Netflix on my Wii(MLP!!!!!!) and Canadian Netflix on my computer(Community!)

Don't worry, because the only rule I think we are breaking is "No straying off-topic." Other then that, I'll make sure people don't start spamming or something. If anything, this topic actually helps the mods. One of the main purposes of this thread I forgot to say was that it could be used for questions or concerns that would later have to be removed. (As an example, Chishio Kunrin's question about youtube being a derp was answered by like 5-10 people, and this thread doesn't have to be removed that's not its only purpose.

You may still want to try downloading the update with Mozilla as I don't think other browsers auto update flash like chrome does.
An interesting note is Opera the browser I use seems to run flash better than Mozilla. But it also likes to lag on websites with a lot of images. Anyways another thing to try is adblock+ on the Mozilla addons menu. It blocks youtube commercials and ads which interrupt video loading sometimes.
