It seems like older versions of Firefox are the culprit, although it seems a little inconsistent across different operating systems. Also, the above link doesn't have any screenshots from Windows XP (no one uses that anymore...).
I can vouch for Firefox 49 on the latest version of Linux Mint (essentially, Ubuntu), which is the default version without doing any special upgrades (despite what you said about it being a development version).
According to Mozilla, when I check for updates, 47.0.1 is the latest version of FF - maybe the rest of the world has moved on and left XP users behind? Time to go Ubuntu?
Ah 49 is a beta/developer version. As PC & Tech Authority says: "One for experienced users or web developers who have a desperate need to access new Firefox features before they’re generally available. Everyone else should patiently wait for the stable version."
So I'll download it and take a look...
It's not a big issue for me, I was mostly puzzled by the "What video? There is no video" type of responses from Firefox. Thanks for your help anyway.
%27Ariano as an example I get the grey screen and message as shown in my original post. Curiously even though I cannot find a link to the video in Page Info I can download it by clicking on the grey box to bring up the player bar, then right clicking the bar and clicking 'Save Video with DownThemAll'. What downloads is 901497759.mp4 which plays just fine locally and also in Firefox (although I have to click Activate QuickTime to play it). ???
%27Ariano) with old Internet Explorer 8 (which I never use, but it comes with Windows XP) - won't play, error message says "Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video". Tried it also on my friends MacBook (which I don't use for this site!) - it plays fine with Safari. I don't have Chrome installed. Would be worth trying with it.
I have the same problem recently. Only with about half of the GIFs, the rest play just fine. It gives an error message, something like "MIME type not supported". Firefox, most current version, Windows XP. I suspect that some people are creating the GIFs with some newer software that uses a non-standard encoding.
The inteded behavior is this: - You block them. - They can still see your name in the chat, and read your messages. - You cannot read or see any messages they send you, in public or private. - They have no way of telling that you've blocked them, unless you tell them yourself.
what would be the main site ??????? U meant on chat ? The problem is this it is a real chat bug so anyone will have problems with this bug, not only me.
If you block someone on chat, the guy u blocked still messages you because your name on chat there continues to be on chat so he thinks u are on chat like before. But you never receive his messages.......
I'm getting the same thing recently. The site status page says there are currently 1,146 pictures in the voting queue, and I'm pretty sure I haven't gone through anywhere near that many. It just keeps loading the same image on the moderation page no matter what I do. Does the site limit users to only voting on a certain percentage of the pictures in the queue or something?
EDIT: If it helps, I'm in Firefox 43.0.4 on Windows XP.

Edit: It also seems like you both use Windows XP, which may be the culprit. I no longer have that OS so I can't test using it.
I just updated VLC media player in the hope it was a plugin problem but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.
Henry099 - my situation is exactly the same as yours - the "older ones" you listed play fine, the more recent vids are no go.

Most recent ones won't open. A few random examples:
Most older ones do play just fine. A few from my faves:

Also, can you link to a few gifs that don't play, as well as a few that do? That way I can try to investigate any differences between them.

(Anyone have an idea how I can fix it?)
But all I get is this:
Never had a problem before...
That's the error I get when trying to upload a 7MB 1080p MP4, any ideas?
Now it worked!
Thx :)
Edit: Never mind, I fixed something. Try again and if it still doesn't work, then email me the zip file.
There was an error with your upload:
The file you uploaded wasn't a valid zip file.
I'm using Opera 36.0.2130.46
I had no problems with uploading zip files until now.

How come ?
