Both use flash. Update Adobe Flash and try it again.

What do you mean don't load, do the pages not even show up, or are certain components of the page not loading? If it's the first, somethings wrong with your internet connection. If it's the second, you need update flash and if it's no loading on 10.3.9, make sure you meet all the system requirements.

I doubt it's the internet connection, as other sites seem to work fine. (assuming Eq's accessing the GMG form the same computer that is) I once had a problem with Savefile where the website wouldn't fully load on my computer even though it worked fine on my sister's. As far as I know both computers had the same updates for major software as they're always updated at the same time, yet still the website behaved most inconveniently on my computer. It was fixed the next time I went to use Savefile, but that wasn't the first time I'd experienced problems with it so I switched to Mediafire shortly after.

its the second, like on mediafire the page loads but the download link never finishes loading. and when i click login on mediafire nothing happens

how do i find out what verison of flash i have?

[Tireas Dragon]

that happened to me once but i just reloaded the page a few times and it worked.

[EqwanoX]

screencasts dont load either, i just noticed sometimes ads get blocked which is good, but that might be createing the conflict, how do i turn it off? its not the popup blocker, it blocks ads on some sites, i cant find it in the preferences

[Teruri]

It is your flash, I know it for sure. Without it google ads and some more ads don't work, but some sites that need flash to work won't work too.

Did you turn off flash? And what browser are you using? I guess Internet Exp... Safari or Fire Fox.

I don't know about Safari but in FF there is something about flash in the options window.

[EqwanoX]

im useing safari, youtube works, google ads work, but it says "ad blocked" where a graphical ad normally is sometimes, screencasts dont load at all, and mediafire site loads but when i click login nothing happens, and when i try to download from mediafire the page loads but the link never finishes, it shows that small blue blox with scrolling stripes

[Silverwind]

Now I'm having trouble with MediaFire. All of my files have vanished. They were in maintenance mode awhile ago I think, so maybe it has something to do with that.

[EqwanoX]

sigh, now youtubes all f*cked up, i can play videos but it lists them in a single line down the screen and displays codeing for some reason. so i have to update osx so i can update flash and whatever

what the f*ck! the requirments for leapard are to high! can i still get tiger? i dont see it on the apple site.

To upgrade your Os, you will have to buy the next version up. 10.4 currently works for mostly everything but intel apps.

some of my folders are non writeable and wont let me put things in them and when i move something out of the folder it makes a copy. whats going on, you cant lock or unlock folders

[Silverwind]

Oh, that sounds like an "Access Privileges" related thing. My sister's MacBook has always experienced problems accessing, running, moving and generally doing anything with files if the file was downloaded by another User. I blame the Intel chips Apple installed in the series. Bad, bad chips...

As for locking and unlocking folders on Leopard, I think there's a "Sharing & Permissions" category when you Get Info on a file. Might be worth a look.
