Well if you read my written blog entitled Sorry about the lack of video blogs, you will see that there is a problem with Macromedia/Adobe Flash Player (whatever you call it) for me. I have Macromedia Flash Player 9 but I couldn't see user videos, the rating game bar and certain things on the Gamespot Homepage. Well, I thought that was bad but it got worse for me.

This bit was my fault but it could be a step to resolving me problem. I decided to uninstall Macromedia Flash Player 9. This was a bad move (unless I didn't see a way that I could have fixed it by doing this). It was deleted and I went to install it again. The gold bar that usually come down when I'm downloading things came down and I had a quick moment of joy. I thought that now this bar was coming down, it might install properly.

I clicked on the bar and installed it. A security warning came up and it gave 2 buttons-"Install" and "Don't Install". Obviously I pressed the Install button. I knew it may take a while so I left it. I came back and nothing was happening. I knew something was wrong so I restarted the computer and tried again. Once again, nothing happened.

I then decided to go onto Gamespot and see if I could see user videos and whatever else I couldn't see. It was the samw line I have seen a million times:

This content requires Macromedia Flash Player 7 or higher. Get Flash

I decided to "Get Flash" again for the millionth time but once again, it didn't work.

I went to my profile and what did I see, this:

Yes! A red X were my level was. This is a lot more annoying than it looks. I know I can see my level at the top but it's annoying seeing this everytime I log into my profile.It's also the same thing with the union level. But I can see this in the stats but I face the same annoyance as the one in the profile. It is clearly related to the Macromedia thing unless it was a huge coincidence.

When I was in my union homepage, the gold bar that came down when I was trying to install Flash Player came down. I thought it might work if I installed it off Gamespot but unfortunately again, I was wrong.

One thing that is worrying me with this problem in the future is Sentinelrv's great ideas about the union system. In most important and best idea in my opinion is the widget feature. That widget thing about news articles is the thing I can't see on the Gamespot homepage above the "Latest and Greatest" box on the Gamespot homepage. If the problem affects these union widgets and the problem still isn't resolved then I might have to step down as leader of The Stealthy Gamers Union because how am I supposed to work with something if I cant see it and I really don't want to step down as leader. I want that idea to be used because they will help Gamespot's unions completely.

Well I really hope this problem will be resolved soon as it is really ruining Gamespot for me and I feel I'm losing touch with the Gamespot community (mostly because of not being able to see user videos).
