Lion-o's welcome message (Quicktime)

Site Discussion Team Discussion

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m gonna bring it up again.

Just now I’ve downloaded the latest QuickTime player from Apple.com that works with Windows 98 so I could play the Masters Cast interview video with Lou and Erika Schiemer.

Well, I came on to our front page to check out the Lion-o welcome again and realised (like last time) I cannot get it to work!

It keeps sending me to download the latest version of QuickTime! However I cannot download the very latest version because it’s not right for use on Windows 98! It needs an operating system of Windows 2000 or above! :roll:

I’m just wondering if any other site visitors are experiencing the same problems as I am. To be perfectly honest I don’t know why people use QuickTime at all because I absolutely hate it! What’s wrong with Real player and Windows Media player formats?

So I wondered if there is any chance of putting a direct download link of the message just incase people have problems with QuickTime? I think I suggested this before, but the suggestion was just phoo phooed off :frowning:

Nevermind, I got it to work. Just needed to alter some settings in the player.

Still not a fan of QuickTime though! :roll:

Chris here…

I’ve never had that problem, although on our old Windows 98 family PC I used to not be able to get the message to load past a certain point. I agree, maybe in smallish lettering put underneath the message “(If the message won’t load for you, click here [insert link to soundfile] for Windows Media Player version!)” :slight_smile:

Take care… :slight_smile:
