Think you know computers?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

I can't access it. It says it needs a plugin, but my computer can't find one. :sqr: Anyone know what I should be looking for to see the site? (I'm running Firefox under Linux).

You just need shockwave, dude. I tried it on IE ( I know, dirty :( ) and it worked fine.

Since they've been producing a Linux version for years, www.macromedia.com would be a good place to start? :eyebrow:

That will explain why their website doesn't have a Linux version of Shockwave available to download then. :p

Try this.

Shockwave and Shockwave Flash are not necessarily mutually exclusive. The latest version of Flash might work fine. If not you need to either use Crossover or Wine.
