Robert Gonzalez reported a problem in TwitPic on April 24, 2009 07:04:

Login crashes browser
When using Opera 9.64 on Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu 8.10, while logging in to comment from a photo, the login form posts then after the third HTTP response is sent memory consumption spikes to 100% and completely crashes Opera. This also happens in Epiphany. Firefox has experienced some slowness during login from a photo, but has not crashed yet. This happen frequently, but not always. It happens regardless of currently running applications or current memory consumption.
A comment on the problem "No audio while playing flash files, visuals are ok" in Flock:

I'm not sure this is the same problem that we are all experiencing right now. Many of us have had Flash throwing sound for a time then all of a sudden it disappears and doesn't come back until the browser is restarted. I have flock working on both Linux (Fedora and Ubuntu) as well as Windows and on each platform I have sound for a time then it just goes away and doesn't come back until I restart the browser. – Robert Gonzalez, on January 31, 2009 20:54

I have abandoned flock altogether. It was nice, but I have began leaning heavily on Chrome as of late. When I need to develop I use FF. Neither has crapped out on me so they are safe bets.

Sorry Flock, you're pretty and all that, but I need a browser that gives me what I need.

A comment on the problem "No audio while playing flash files, visuals are ok" in Flock:

This is why I am using Chrome again. Even Firefox can maintain audio within video. It just seems like after a period of time Flock just loses it and doesn't regain it until it is restarted. Almost like something is getting cached that is killing audio after a while. Oh well. Great browser. Just some small, and deal breaking, issues. – Robert Gonzalez, on January 26, 2009 22:22

All this does is add the flash player plugin to Flock. It doesn't address the issue of Flock not being able to play the audio portion of video files. – Robert Gonzalez, on January 21, 2009 17:41

Flock crashed with max CPU usage when printing
While attempting to print a page with a form on it flock froze, maxed out CPU usage and tied up my system until I forcefully quite the app from the task manager. Unfortunately the form is behind a login so I cannot point you to the page that caused this. The print job works fine in Opera. This is on Windows, in Flock 2.0.2.

Not to be too much of a killjoy, but I am not going to go through all that crap just to get sound in Flock. I'd rather use a browser that works. So far Flock is the only browser that loses sound after a time. I have had Opera open, Firefox open and IE open for the same amount of time as Flock and only flock stops playing sounds. I know it sounds stubborn, but seriously, I'd rather just Alt-Tab over to a browser that I know will remember to play sounds instead of uninstalling and reinstalling the Flash plugin.

I just noticed an odd bit of behavior. I leave my browsers, all of them, open for days on end. I only close them when their memory consumption maxes out or my machine starts to lag.

Today I noticed that Flock stopped playing audio on video files again. My browser has been open for about five days. I should have checked the memory use stats and what not, but I didn't, but I noticed that a restart of Flock brought sound back again.

I wonder what could cause sound to crap out after an extended period of time being open?

I just updated Flock to 2.0.2 today and I can now hear sound on Videos. Not sure what changed between 2.0 and 2.0.2 but it seems that have fixed it.

I will test this from my work PC. I know the volume is cranked up because that was the first thing I checked. Also, the video that was not working was not a youtube video but a video from somewhere else. To test, I went to youtube later. Neither video produced sound.

I will try the Flash reinstall tomorrow. And no, I do not have Google Voice and Video Chat installed.

Will keep you posted.

Just noticed this problem today. Tried to watch a video on Facebook and was able to see the video but got no sound. Went to YouTube and got video but no sound. I have sound in all my other browsers when watching video.

Photo upload not working
I am trying to upload a photo from Twitpic on Flock 2.0 and it is getting to the 100% part of the upload (step 2) and doing nothing else.

It could be a browser setting (I am using Chrome). But doesn't it seem strange that one image prompts for save and the other renders?

It was this link, from the email:

The note URL is:
http://pownce.com/Barnes1966/notes/36...

This link opens an image (from a different user - it is a totally different image but renders instead of prompting for download):

Clicking an image prompts for save as
When trying to view an image by link (either directly from a post stream or from a link in an email) I am getting prompted to save the image on my local machine.
