agree... surfing in on that page at work with alot of people around=bad

 

[Nausilus^^]

hah, couldn't agree more tbh.. I try to restrict my use of the site for account management only, where I quickly click the link and close the other window before the crash sound starts.. kind of annoying in the long run though.

Got to love the AdBlock pluginextensionthingy for Firefox

thank god you dont have a very fast connection then, once the sie is loaded (even before the browser loads the new text) the tower stuff come up..

but cant agree more REMOVE the 1.75 add from the page.

here here!

 

[Javai]

Of course the real problem here is expecting there to be any news

They could write some news about removing bad the flash thingie, or make a poll about it...

 

[Alan]

Gets a thumbs up from me too.

Keep the flashy stuff to the nice pretty home page

 

[Wazkyr]

cant agree more, on 3mbit the flash loads before ANYTHING else on the homepage, hence making the rest go slower, its half way done with the sound spam when it start displaying the text, i almost stopped tjekking for news becous of this majorly anoying sound, and god damn its loud

 

[Flimgoblin]

turn your volume down?

 

[Chilly]

oh come on fingo, the goa webby is exactly what websites should NOT be. Reliant on 3rd party plugins for much of the content and slow loading, looks ugly as hell with flash turned off and generally shit to navigate.

 

[Skaven]

Don't mind the flash so much, just the sound knocks you off your chair if your playing your music or just alt-tabbed out of cam.

 

[Flimgoblin]

it's a nifty animation - but I guess they could put a "play" button on it instead so that it doesn't fall down till you click.

oh and if you hate the flash that much:

True Many years ago when i played EQ on 56k if i wanted to check website could go to site, go make a sandwich, have a cup of tea, come back and the site would just be loaded

 

[Fenderon]

I dislike any website that use sounds. It's bloody annoying.

GOAs webby is ok now.. blocked the 1.75 ad

 

[Wazkyr]

GOAs webby is ok now.. blocked the 1.75 ad

tell me how please

 

[Coldbeard]

I like it, makes me smile when I think of that "Caution - Crashing server" parody

 

[Herjulf]

i second that, pls remove it. OR make it mutable, and so it remembers that u muted it the next time u visit the site.

Because each time i visit the site at work, there is a RRRRUMBLE CRASHELIBANGFNURRIPLUTT and ppl watch me funnily wondering wtf i am doing on the computer.

 

[Fenderon]

tell me how please

most MMOG's i play does NOT have that much flash crap on their site.

WoW does not. PS does not. GW doesent have it at all afaik. CoH doesent have it either.

companys use flash to make the game "cooler" ive noticed. or have some intern uni student there that feels like bragging.

 

[Ctuchik]

there IS a play button. problem is it only appears AFTER the first sequence

givf a stop button more.

 

[GReaper]

Another Mozilla Firefox plugin, FlashBlock, Flash animations only play once you click on them.

Adblock is supposedly working on the same functionality.

.

WoW has a new flash animation every week ffs. Annonucing some new bullshit upgrade on their already useless shitty PvP battleground or improvements xD.

if people dislike flash that mucth, just disengage it in IE or whatever program you use to surf the web with.
