Ever since the Mumsnet TV thing started I keep getting error messages and my screen freezes.

Is it buggering up my computer? I keep having to shut down and start up again. Not every time but enough to notice it's only started happening since the appearance of mntv

RustyBear -thanks, followed your description of screen layout but I've still not got the "YouTube type video display" thingy

How bizarre

My browser (Firefox 3.0.11 Win) keeps saying on the status bar: Transferring data from gouk.brightcove.com...

That is something to do with the MNTV... the player seems to me to be from brightcove.

If Firefox is really transferring data, I'm not sure. I would expect that video data is only sent once the play button is pushed... though it may be buffering data (though that would seem a waste of bandwidth to me). When clicking play... data transferrs from one of the discovery video servers and does buffer - if you click the play then pause, the light grey bar on the video changes to dark grey as the video loads.

LOL at the dark ages
Sorry to hear about this. I will go and bang on the shed door and see what gives.
Though obviously the appearance of Fonzee live by satellite means I'm too excited busy and important for a bit

On the extreme right hand side of the screen is a column containing from the top down first a section listing hot discussion topics, then an ad (currently Boden on this page, then a 'Mumsnet latest' box with links to site stuff, under that is a You-tube type video display headed Mumsnet TV, which apparently plays clips from the Discovery channel programme Carrie & Justine made in the Dark Ages 2003.

I think these are what they mean

NorbertDentressangle · 06/07/2009 20:09

MNTV?

I really don't know what anyones on about and can't make head nor tail of what you mean about the bit under "Mumsnet Latest"

I've got a permanent scroll-bar which scrolls up the page as I read it (IYSWIM) - I hadn't thought that it might be linked to the MNTV thing, but it isn't happening on any other websites.

That's interesting, because I was getting loads of error messages at the weekend which kept closing mumsnet down. I wondered why that was.

RustyBear · 06/07/2009 19:48

It messes up my iPhone too, because it starts trying to install Flash, which doesn't install on iPhone, so everything takes ages

So if it's going to stay, can we please have the mobile MN soon?

Scroll down page and look on the left - under 'Mumsnet latest'
