4) Is the
QuickTime browser plugin installed?
QuickTime Plugin- Please note that you need to restart your browser after installing the plugin.
5) Does it work in other browsers?
If you only have one browser on your computer (Internet Explorer) you should try out
Firefox.
6) Is the following text present in the source of the page:
<embed ?
Right click -> View Source -> Ctrl+F -> <embed
If this is not found, and all the above steps are completed, then you may have an out of date template. Please revert any customisations to
dbtech_vbshout_shoutbox
If none of the above steps fix it for you, then it's a browser issue that we are unfortunately unable to assist with.
Go into the vBulletin Options, there's an option to change the Shout Area there.
