What is the optimal dimensions for a SlideShare presentation? I have a widescreen MacBook and my presentation is getting sized down weird. I would rather just go ahead and set up a separate slideshow that is at the best dimensions for SlideShare.

Hi Slideshare,
I have a little problem with displaying 2 slideshows on a single blog post. Either one will fail to load. Moreover, if I use firefox to view the site page, it appears disintegrated. Please advice.
I love slideshare!

Hi there.

My slidecast:
(http://www.slideshare.net/david_a_eav...)
has received 2972 views in three months and has been favorited 15 times. However it doesn't appear at all in the slidecast "popular" section. There are slidecasts there that barely have 600 views and no favorites. What gives?

How does the slidecasts favourites work? Is there a methodology to choosing them? It just seems like the selection is somewhat random.

Best,
David E

Why is my gender required to sign up and share slides?

I've already declined to give my email passwords to SlideShare, but it keeps asking for them and trying to email my friends. I've already said no, but every time I sign in SlideShare wants me to change my mind. Why won't my decision be respected?

I have been trying to create a post and embedding a slideshare on my IPB board, but it simply doesnt work. Not even with the youtube BBCODE.

Can anyone help me?

I have a presentation with many embedded videos. What happens when I upload this slideshow to Slideshare? Does it strip out the video, leave a thumbnail, break the the whole, what?

Thanks!

Latency has become a big problem of late...I have two slidecasts I am trying to process.
I provided a link to an mp3 file to associate with my slides. The page has told me that the url is being processed. It has taken over nine hours so far to process the file. The site has been crawling and it takes as much as 10 minutes to go from page to page at times.

My Secret link is: http://www.slideshare.net/secret/3RTF...

There is no way to abort this process or to try a new file. As far as I can tell, I'm going to have to abandon all of the work I've done on this slide (adding comments to each slide containing presenter notes) and start over.

Can anyone help fix this issue? Also, I am concern with the sudden slowdown of the site overall..I have about 70 hours invest so far in my presentation (about 340 slides) Could it be that the size of my preso and audio file (about 20MB each is just to much for slideshare? My concern is that I need to go live with this in 3 days and if it is choppy then I won't be able to use your service. As an aside, I would happily pay a (reasonable) monthly fee to assure better connectivity. Have you looked into Akami or similar networks?

Please let me know if you can help!

I have a slidecast presentation with audio and URL link inside the slides. Is there any way I can PAUSE the slide/audio when I click on the link to go to another site? (right now, it opens the link in a different window and continues to play the slides).

Embeded SlideCast works in Mac OSX running FireFox, but not in Windows running IE. See: http://cu75pp1.wetpaint.com/page/Deli...
towards the bottom of the page.

Any ideas?

Best

Scot.
