Hi suebaby41
I am not very knowledged in Linux, just know enough to get me into trouble
But some sites favors windows over other OS's. So if the sites you mention belongs
to this category, not much one can do.
I take it you have tried on other sites as well? Like metacafe or Youtube?
Did it work there?
Running Firefox in Wine for win98 have been known to be able to overcome
this problem. Not perfect, but maybe worth a try. Perhaps one can endure
it long enough, to the new Ubuntu release, and see if it will correct anything
in those regards.
Got a couple of friends at a danish site, who are very experienced with Linux (They test distro's) I'll be happy to ask them about your problem.
Cheers
Ps: I can find Fearnet, but Hula?

Is it just the two sites were you have the problem?
What about YouTube etc? Sometimes linux has some problems with flash content.

Thanks. I don't watch youtube so I am not sure about that.
I would appreciate any help from any where.

Ok.
So what distro release it it that you are using? Also can you check You Tube to see if you experience the same problems?
