Funny Day.  Only a handful of regulars and the rest were the "every-so-ofteners"  and new drop ins.  So tempting on these days to wonder why that might be.  And usually when you wonder "why" you end of feeling doubtful, self conscious worried.  So not worth it.  Just roll with what is.

Troubleshooting Video Playback Mischief

  • Download the latest version of Firefox and restart your computer.
  • Download the latest Flash Player.
  • A slow connection will affect video playback. Allowing the video to "load" before viewing can help smooth this out. Here are the steps:
    - Press "Play" and allow the video to roll for a few moments.
    - Then, press "Pause" and allow the video to "load" before hitting "Play" again.
    - You will know the video is "loading" as the bar to the right of the play button darkens gray.
    - This will also give you the option to scroll forward and back more easily.
  • Report Problem to the Help Duck.
