What the heck is up with the start up?

[Capt Jay]

As of today anytime I launch the internet the rangerstation video starts playing and I get the audio. With Internet explorer version what ever I have it opens 6 tabs all at once, one being TRS. How do I make it so that video doesn't start each time and I don't have to listen to it?

Thanks,
Jay

It starts when I open the page too (must be a new thing) but I just pause it..I've already watched it four times haha

 

[Capt Jay]

I don't want to have to pause it each time. I want it gone. I want to know how to stop it from doing that.

I never even go on the home page. When I want to come here I type in www.therangerstation.com[B]/forums[/B]

+1. I haven't been to the home page since I joined. If you have a bunch of pages or tabs opening, you probably need to disable some browser add-ons or scan for malware.

Scared the shit out of me. I had my speakers up loud from my music but I had it paused at the moment. Then all the sudden VROOOOOOOM!!!

Use Firefox. Seriously.

 

[Capt Jay]

Why firefox?

Who altered the website so that video starts each time and can they turn it off. If I want to watch the videos I'll turn them on myself.

I updated the main index page and changed the video. I'll go in later and change the coding so it won't keep playing. I figured most of the 'regulars' didn't even visit that page.

 

[Capt Jay]

Mine just goes there everytime I start the computer. I don't know how to make it do anything else. I hate computers.

 

[kunar]

i use that page cause i like the top ten list (or 15, whatever it is)

and you should definitely use firefox... IE is lame

 

[MAKG]

Why firefox?

A whole lot of reasons, but the one at hand is that videos ALL come up as a big "play" button.

It's also 1/10 the weight of IE. It has MANY fewer bugs. And Firefox 3 has some very interesting plugins/extensions.

 

[Capt Jay]

Maybe I'll give it a try. I've always used IE because I've always used IE. I hate change especially with these smoke and mirror machines

actually MAKG, I'm running firefox (newest version) and the video autoplays on the homepage, and I have the TRS page as my home as well so its playing every time I up firefox.

PS: Capt Jay, I highly recommend Firefox, just give it a couple days to adjust to using it.
