Can you put in some anchor text like SONG FILE and link it to the MP3 directly? That way people could right-click and save.

I do podcasts on my blog, and they used to show up as links that were streamable but more important: downloadable. A lot of my listeners download the podcasts and listen to them on the go.

For two posts now, the links show up as flash players only.

Is there any way to revert back to the download option? Or can I add it to the flash player function?

thanks

Are you still seeing this yourselves, or has it resolved at this point?

Cheers!

I think this one is:

http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/changes-with-my-reader?replies=1

OS: WinXP Pro/SP3
Browser: FF 17.0.1
Flash version: 11.5.502.135

P.S. I have computer issues too. My old one is limping along. The new one is programmed and ready to go except for the data transfer. The techy can't do that until at least the 28th. :(

When I go to Blogs I follow Flash Player starts loading and fills up all my memory - just keeps loading more stuff and ends up with over a 1 GB flash player memory use - seems to be Firefox only -

Internet Explorer seems to work fine

Started a day or two day ago

Are we referring to an iPad 3, or 2/1?

I just looked again in IE9 on my netbook after logging out, clearing my cache and cookies, etc. The images continue to display correctly.

I'm stumped.

The OP says it happens on his netbook, which doesn't seen to have a low screen resolution, and also on his iPad. See his answers above.

Thanks for looking.

Just to be sure, are you not running IE in compatibility mode?

As far as the iPad, are you using the iOS app? If so, that's an entirely different problem and best addressed on the iOS forum

What fixed it for me in IE9 on my netbook was updating to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. You can check what version you are running here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and there's a link to download the latest version on that page.

This is not so relevant to Chrome21 because the flash player there is integrated and is supposed to be updated automatically when Chrome updates.

When viewing in Chrome 21, I do not see anything out of the ordinary in that slideshow. However, I am now on my netbook, which has a smaller screen resolution (1024x600) and in IE9 (9.0.8112), indeed the slideshow suddenly goes from showing regularly sized images to displaying very tiny thumbnails. I've taken a screenshot and will post it here shortly.

I checked again on my desktop (screen resolution 1280x1024) and in IE9 (9.0.8112) and I did not encounter the sudden change in image display size.

Can you please check:
What browser and version are you using?
What is your current screen resolution?

I looked at this slideshow http://backbayblogger.wordpress.com/gallery-a/ and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. I viewed with both IE9 (on Win7 post massive update) and Chrome 21. If you are having the problem with a different slideshow, then please post the direct link, starting with http:// to make it clickable.

As tsp mentioned above, portrait images do not get a lot of slideshow love because of the fixed aspect ratio which favors landscape images. I'm not sure what you or the OP mean when you say that the slideshow is displaying very small images.

If you are uploading the slideshow images at full size, right out the camera, then you are wasting your storage space because, as you can see, the images are resized to fit into your theme/slideshow.

I noticed that other users seem to be having the same issue - possibly because in IE9, the compatibility mode button sits right next to the refresh button in the top toolbar. One could accidentally click on the compatibility mode and never even know it. Also, the compatibility mode button only appears in the toolbar on some websites, not all websites. At least with my version of IE9. Sorry, a bit off-subject, but wanted to mention that.

Back on subject.. I haven't tried re-uploading the problem image, because it happens to all the images. That would be a lot of images to re-upload, especially for pascaldelyon who must have hundreds of images on his site. Also, the issue is somewhat random. For example, in a 15 image slide show, images 1, 2, 3 and 4 display properly at full size. Then image 5 displays as a thumbnail, image 6 goes back to full size, image 7 is a thumbnail, image 8 is full size and images 9-15 are thumbnails. If I click on another page in the blog (a non-slide show page) then click back to the slide show, all the images display correctly at full size. If I go from one slide show page directly to another slide show page, I get the random thumbnail effect again, only this time images 1, 2, and 3 display properly at full size and the rest are thumbnails. It is almost as if IE9 is not grabbing, processing or rendering the image quickly enough so it substitutes a thumbnail instead. (I don't know the correct technical terms)

This is not a huge problem or issue for me - I can easily include a caveat for IE9 users to click off-page and back if they encounter thumbnails. But it has piqued my interest and it would certainly help our French friend, and possibly others, if a solution could be found.

A couple other observations: The issue started for me a couple days ago. I was away and offline for about a week prior. Windows 7 did an automatic upgrade when I returned; but to what I am clueless. Also, the thumbnail problem never happens when I view the slide show sample at the bottom of the WP slide show support page. That slide show only has 4 images. Is the number of images a possible factor? Or the image file size / resolution?

This is interesting. I just checked my Temporary Internet Folder. It was filled with what looked like every part of my wordpress site and pascaldelyon's site. There were hundreds of files including gif and jpeg files of images. It's as if IE9 had downloaded everything necessary to display the sites locally. Maybe that's why IE9 was displaying a thumbnail for some images - it hadn't downloaded the "larger" version of the image yet. So I clicked off of my slide show page, then clicked back on the slide show and checked the Temp Internet Folder. Sure enough, additional images had been loaded into the folder that now allowed the slide show to display properly. Next question... why did IE9 download all those wordpress files? It has never done that before. Usually when I end a browsing session there are a few cookies and favicons in the temp folder, but not everything necessary to display an entire web page. So I did a test.

I cleared the Temp Internet Folder and went to several websites including a blogspot photo page. (Please don't kick me out for using the word "blogspot". It was for reference only.) Then I went to the wordpress homepage. Then I checked the temp internet folder. Holy cow! There were a couple of cookies from the other websites and about a hundred files from the wordpress homepage. For some unknown reason my version of IE9 apparently wants to download everything from the wordpress site. I took a screen shot of the Temp Internet Folder and attached it as a pdf in case that helps. Plan B: I wasn't sure how to attach or upload the pdf here, so I placed it in the "Journal" Page on my site with a note to WP Support. Here is the link:

I hope this all makes sense and sorry to run on like that.
Thank you.
