    Hi,

    Got to say very impreseed with OWB but have a few minor problems:-

    1.I assume its a cookie problem but I keep getting a download window come up for a file called pop.mp3 , it seems to originate from Facebook. I`ve tried both cookie systems but it keeps popin up. Deleting the cookie dosen`t help as it just comes back.Popped up twice while typing this , very annoying.
    2.Is it possible to get the bookmark window to auto close when opening a bookmark? Also an option to sort bookmarks in alphabetical order would be great.

    Cheers

    Andy

    I don't see what that should have to do with cookies. You can disable sound in the Facebook chat options.

    I assumed it was cookie related since it only started happening after i turned them on, I guess I can`t have used facebook chat before then either. I never linked it with the chat as the requestor kept popin up long after i'd left facebook.

    On a slightly different note , whats the best way to view flash videos, I see there is get video and flashless , do they basically do the same thing?

    Also been testing several music players , aminetradio seems to come out top on features (especially playlists), however i get slightly stuttery playback on mp3's (on my hard drive) when browsing with OWB. Neither Songplayer or AMiga AMP have this problem. Any ideas what the problem is?

    Is there a reason why the reply, edit icons etc are just displayed as ? in OWB on this site ?

    Cheers

    Facebook sends MP3 file that you could even play by configuring OWB mimetypes accordingly. That said you can also just disable it like said previously. :)

    Getvideo and flashless are indeed the most efficient ways to play most video portals content. In the not so distant future, the flash plugin for OWB will also allow it (depending on compatibiity), but it certainly won't be as fast as mplayer anyway (far from it).

    No, you must have some connectivity issue with this particular site.

    Hi,

    does anyone else have the problem that when writting an answer in MorphZone (like I write this one here) that the CPU usage goes up to 100% (and it stays there until the submit button is pressed)? I thought this problem was fixed, that's why I wonder if it's just me... I tried this here on 3 different Pegasos2 with MorphOS2.4 and all 3 of them here have the same problem. I noticed the following, that when I open a new Tab (a 2nd one for MorphZone) and then switch between the Tab's and then come back and click into the write window the CPU usage goes down to about 10%...

    Any idea?

    It seems to me that the inbuild editor of OWB is a bit cpu hungry (polling all the time?). But as it seems this is not always the case, as I write this very reply now in OWB cpu usage is somewhat in the range of 8-12% (w/o selcting another tab first).

    It has actually nothing to do with the editor. It's caused by the gif animations, but in a very particular way. And in fact, if you arrange your window visible area so that the two "mail" anims aren't visible, then cpu time goes back to 2% or so.

    Hi all, I never had problems downloading mp3's from http://beemp3.com/ and now it seems not to work anymore :-(
    Even if I spoof as something else then OWB it doesn't work...

    Any idea? Could this problem because of OWB?

    Same here: never had any problem. But it's not an OWB problem, since I tried with Mozilla FF and the result is the same...
    I guess it's a website problem: site manteinance or else.
    But you still have the chance to download mp3 by clicking on "Mobile version" link on the topmost right.
    The interface is much more simple but, the most important, it works!
