I am going to ask again if something can be done so I am taken back to the post that has a link instead of being returned to the top of the thread after viewing. It always worked correctly before the upgrade. TIA

MeliaTech:

 The links now follow the same styles as the previous forums.

 Thank you. That makes the links much easier to find when scanning down the pages.

 Thanks I noticed that right away with the colored background!!

After Afke rebooted, sound and video are back, but lots of dropped/lost frames still.

This morning the Pond stream has failed to load, loads and tries to connect, loses the feed, etc. I have a Mac using 10.4.11, FF 2.0.0.14, and the RP Beta for Mac.

This is the info on dropped frames:

I checked my download speed. That was not the problem.

TIA

Again on May 31 I am not able to get videocam on Mozilla Firefox.  I was connected on Firefox but the cam disconnected.  So I reopened the site but the video screen on NG site is white and will not even try to connect.  It does work on Explorer.  Why does this problem happen on Firefox?

 Like Carmen, I am having to refresh 2,3, sometimes 4 times before a message I post appears. It seems to be getting worse. Any help for this problem? Thank you.

 1.  Although it didn't happen the first few days, now it is more often than not that when I post a message I need to refresh the page 2 or 3 times before I see my message appear.

2. When I don't refresh the page for several hours, and the thread (V&S) has been active no matter how many times I refresh it does not take me to page # 1.  It keeps refreshing page # 2.

Is it possible to solve these problems?  Thanks!

NG Technical -- today is May 27 and still not able to connect to Pond on Mozilla Firefox.  Do you know what is causing this problem?  I am connected on explorer.  But I normally use Mozilla and don't understand why it occasional does this.

Today, May 26 I am able to connect to the pond website but the viewing screen for the cam is white and won't even try to connect.  This has happened a few times in the past.  I am able to connect on Explorer.  Do you know why this happens?

I'm still being taken back to the top of the thread after returning from watching a link on the Sights and Sounds thread. I used to be taken back to the post that had the link, so I could continue reading. It takes a long time to find the link I was on before. I hope this can be fixed. I have a Mac and am using FF. TIA

 Hi Jayell,

I believe the style can be altered to show the links in color. I'll give your suggestion to our Web Architect.

Thanks,

Mary, NGS

Is there some reason why when we post a link in a message, it does not show up in color any more the way it used to do?  When we are composing the message, the link appears both underscored and in color, but on the Forum, it is only underscoored.  Having them colored was very useful when scanning for links in a thread.

 Hi Queenie, I had a thought. Didn't you start a different account a while back?? Maybe that is the user account that needs to be edited

 hi lap yes  i have had them all with check in the no box so that didnt get any emails at all and still box fills up day and night i even unsubscribed to everything still same thing....but thats for responding where is the nat ge folks when need thier techincal know-how

 Hi its a while since ive been and posted on here but just have to mention that my viewing of the Pond is still a problem I do remember posting about it before and I got replys that others where also seeing it as I was. The problems I am having are the pictures seems to be rather dark and also its not quiet in focus also today I notice the water seems to have a weird flickering . But think my main worry is the slight blurring which is affecting the clear viewing of the pond and the animals.

I am just hoping it is not something to do with my configuration as I have no idea how to sort that out when I first noticed all this was when the New Webcam started working and at the time I had the updated version of Real player and I was advised that this could be my problem so I went and uninstalled the new version and went back to the 10.5 Real player which is easier to use but the screen view I get is still the same Dark, Blurred and slightly flickering.

Hope someone can help me on this as I so miss taking my pictures of the animals and this year must say ive hardly taken any due to them showing up not as clearly as they used to do.

FourSeasonQueen:

 evertime someone posts i getting emails..i unchecked everything is getting pretty annying already give tips please how to fix this

 FourSeasons, up at the top of the page click where it says "Edit"... go to "Site Options". Under "Email Configuration" I have Receive emails - yes; Receive HTML emails - yes; Send notifications - NO !   Be sure to save at the bottom of the page after that.

Try that and see if it works.... Good luck...

 evertime someone posts i getting emails..i unchecked everything is getting pretty annying already give tips please how to fix this

 i am still looking for answer to how i can get the auto-emails to stop..been over 10 days since i cancelled all subsrciptions and updated profile to recieve no e-mails,,says takes up to 10 minutes for changes to affect but agn been almost 2 weeks and still gettin over 100 in my email... help!!folks at nat geo please!

One more thing that still hasn't been addressed - there is no horizontal scroll bar when an image is wider than the browser window:

 This isn't a fix but a wonder. On the general chat thread it takes a long long time to load. There are over 183,000 posts with many pictures as well. We have gone to a new chat thread and it is much quicker. Is it feasible that a thread can be 'overloaded'?

 Carol, try this..go to the top of the page by your name and click on edit..then Site  options..click so it says desending...click back and forth ( I thelps but I don't know why..now go to the bottom of the page and save it
