DrBassman,
I'm sorry you are having problems. It sounds to me like it is a configuration problem with your Windows Media Player and/or your browser. It isn't possible to enter the URL manually for the photos or videos on the forums. This prevents unregistered users from accessing the files and also keeps other websites from hotlinking to our content. As I've mentioned before, make sure you have the latest version of
Windows Media Player. If all else fails, you may need to follow
massgeorge's tip and right-click to download the files you wish to view.
Good luck.
If anyone else has any advice for
