Read original message above — IMPORTANT!

I want to take a poll of who’s having problems with the new 630 WMAL site, specifically in seeing the “Insider Central” (right side) red tab slide show (7-tab slide show).

[GMMC0987]

I see the slide show using Firefox 2.0.0.14, right clicking shows that it has Adobe Flash Player content.

Buford - Can you forward this post to your DC list, please! Thanks!

DANG!

Thanks, G!

I want to take a poll of who’s having problems with the new 630 WMAL site, specifically in seeing the “Insider Central” (right side) red tab slide show (7-tab slide show).

The Insider Central section is Flash-driven. You write that you're running IE6. If you do not have Flash installed/enabled, then this is the source of your problem.

On my IE6, when I first visit the page (or refresh), I see the light blue box. I'm immediately presented with a dialog box asking me to click OK to continue. When I click the OK button, the blue box is replaced with the Insider Central content.

If you didn't see this dialog box, then it sounds like you either don't have Flash installed, or if it is installed (and current) but disabled, then this is most likely the source of your problem.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

I don't even get the dialog box.... and I go to different web sites daily with flash-driven content and I'm okay in them.... even when I did my Simpsons caricature on Simpsonizeme.com, which required Flash installation, I didn't have a problem.

if it is installed (and current) but disabled, then this is most likely the source of your problem.

How do I enable it?

It’s gotta be something with that specific box and/or my browser or Flash because when I go to the 77WABC radio site, I have the same little powder-blue box appearing there....

What version of Flash player do you have installed? If not 8, then you should try to upgrade to 8.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

It says that I have version 9,0,124,0 installed successfully. I just spend 3 minutes re-installing and still no box. I’m just going to wait for my husband to come home & take a look at it.

We have to update our Norton Anti-Virus too.... it’s been a while.... maybe something’s infected....

[EDINVA]

got the Insider Central slide shows (6, not 7 buttons) with Verizon FIOS

If I were you, I would upgrade to the IE7, tho. I’ve had it maybe 1.5 years and it’s worked well for moi ... especially the multi-tab, multi-windows feature.

It sounds like it's a setting on your computer. I have IE6, IE7 & FF2 installed on my system and I have no problems seeing the content on any of them.

Is there a tab for the “Listener Column”? If so, tell me what it says. Is there a pic there of Chris & I? If not, what pic is there for the Listener Column specific tab?

My column is the Listener Column for this week.

My IE6 works fine.

The box has ads and links.

[Fox_Mulder77]

I have a Mac and Comcast broadband and everything comes up just fine. :-p

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I have IE 5 on Windows ME, so I think I’ll pass until I get to work tomorrow (Firefox on XP).

I'm using Firefox with a NOSCRIPT plugin. The plugin prevents client-side scripts, activeX controls, and embedded objects from running unless I give it permission. When I initially accessed the page, the Insider Central section was disabled. Once I enabled it it ran fine. I'm thinking you have Scripting disabled.

Question: On WMAL's website do you see the single row of blue buttons that read?

Home	Shows	Weekends	News	Insider Central	Listen	Video	Station

When you mouse over these buttons does a dropdown menu appear below the various buttons? If not, then I'm fairly certain that's the problem - Scripting disabled on your IE browser.

To rectify this on your menu bar across the top of IE select the following menu option...

Tools->Internet Options->Security (tab)->Custom level...(button)

Scroll down to: Scripting->Active Scripting

Select "Enable"

Click OK twice

Reload/Refresh the WMAL website

Just in case you continue to have problems here's the page for Listener columns

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Thanks for all of this, P.

When I go to Scripting->Active Scripting it says that it is “Enabled”. However, when I went to ActiveX controls and plug-ins->Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls it said that it was “Disabled”.

To answer your other question, the drop-down menu does appear on the site, and I can access everything on the site, except for all the stuff on the Insider Central box.

It appears that I’m the only one so far that has this problem.

[BufordP]

Gremlins. It’s gremlins.

Good news on WMAL’s web site: wish the station would allow and/or Mark Levin would be available for THREE HOURS (I could listen to The Great One all day — especially if he devoted an hour to just taking “liberal” callers to trash).

Maybe they could bump Austin Texas until 9PM and let Toast-to-Toast start afterward. After all, how offended would THIS GUY be:
