just like to say, where i am generallyl pleased with everything on this site
in how it is organised and the GUI etc.
i have to say that i have had some frustrating problems when trying to jump ahead on any video when streaming from the site
i know for many of the videas i can download the video and then jump ahead
but just thought that this may be an issue that your website tech gurus can sort out
so thought i would let you know
Thanks
jus

Could you tell us more specifically what the problem is when you try to jump ahead in a video please?
Please be as specific as possible!
Billy
hello
thanks for your reply
yes, the problem i get is when trying to play one of the tutorial videos
if i drag the playback head to the right, in order to skip part of the video
(which i sometimes want to do because i previosly watched half the video)
the video doesn't jump to the new spot particularly quickly
and then just goes into "buffering" mode, with a static picture and a "buffing" triangle appearing in the middle of the video picture frame
if i leave this go, it usually doesn't resolve either and just keeps on buffering
forcing me to watch the video from the start all over again
which is a bummer
that's the problem in a nut schell

I just went through the top six lessons of my Favorites list. I advanced/skipped each ahead three times. In most cases the play was virtually uninterrupted, in no case was the delay more than a couple tenths of a second. Except for the last, sixth, lesson.
In that sixth lesson, I experienced a 'stutter' and a buffer after previously advancing it twice without an issue. That happened in two plays of the lesson. On the third play of the lesson all three advances resulted in an immediate continuing play of the lesson.
I live in a rural area and have a frustratingly slow DSL connection. Immediately after the above I did a speed test which showed 6 Mbps; the norm for the last couple weeks.
These results may point to a problem with your settings or your web connection.

I'm sorry to hear about that! We suggest you try another web browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox and let us know if that works better.
