Excellent!

Marc:

Glad to hear you got it working ... gotta love Microsoft, aye? I too thought that check box sounded backwards to me. But at least we now have two of you (Jappe and yourself) who can help any others who encounter this issue!

Welcome to the complete functionality of the MRH site!

This is what I did....

Hi all,

ok, going to try to explain what I did,

Internet explorer (IE) tabb> rite click> properties (left click)>advanced(left click)>reset (reset internet explorer settings).

If you use the IE shortcut on your desk, just rite click>properties and then click find "target" will bring you to the IE tabb and start with the above.

Hope this helps, the porblem lays in that "physhing" gizmo internet explorer included. And with the included firewall, maybe this is a bit to much of both worlds, lol.

On the restart of your browser IE is going to ask if you whant to turn on that "physhing" item , just click "no".

You will have to reset some items, but you will not loose your favs.

Hope this helps cause the videos are worth watching.

Sorry for the delay, but having a nice week-end (around 100°f) I was burning some rubber....lol.

Big brother is watching.

I just noticed that VPS880.inmotionhosting.com, using Flash player, can use your camera and microphone (if installed) to view/hear what is going on. Tales of big brother. But you must allow the access.  As long as you do not give access, you're ok thow.

Any particular reason for this or is this for future submissions

I have watched both now.

It too is great. The sound quality is so good that it is easy for me as a non-american to understand what Zana and AJ - and Nancy from Soundtraxx is talking about.

It was more difficult to hear and understand the questions from the audience, and guess what, Joe had thought about  that too and added texts with  the question. Great feature - and thank you!

And I have had no problem viewing the videos on different PCs working with XP and FireFox 3

tsk tsk tsk ,

that feature has not to do with inmotionhosting, infact, it's a feature Mr. Fugate build in, to make sure you (we) are not picking your (our) nose whilst watching the video's......ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!Rofl

Me involved in more videos...

I am excited to help out, though my acting skills in my very first video still make me shudder. I do NOT crinkle my forhead that much or sound like I am talking to a toddler when I am relaxed.=))

one word describes it all.

Excellent!

Joe Schmid

Thanks

The video's are informative and they give us an insight into future products shown at the Anaheim show.    This feature is a great service to us who were not able to be there.

I would hope some video might have been recorded of the many layouts that were displayed at the show and that video would be available for us to view.

Thanks again.

Layouts collage video coming next ...

There's one more video coming ... we interview some convention attendees, show the doors opening on day one, talk to the "brains" behind the North American version of FREMO (Free-Mo as it's called), and then show clips of the many fine layouts at the show.

So yes, the layouts video is next!

EDIT: Actually, it's become two videos. We do some interviews of show attendees waiting in line, and then interview Mr. Free-Mo, Chris Palomarez. The next video will be a collage of the many layouts on display at the show, set to music. I hope you enjoy it!

Video of Layouts / Thanks

Thanks Joe for making this great magazine available and thanks for the reply on the video.  Keep up the great work.   I have enjoyed all of the presentations and find the clinics interesting.   This type of presentation should increase interest in future shows also because they are interesting and informative.      

This on line magazine has to be the best and most up to date way of presenting information to Modelers.   I have to believe this type of presentation is the future of our industry.   I hope your future advertisers line up to get on board so we see more shows and articles as they come out.

 

Thanks

AF
