As you've probably seen from time to time, FE randomly crashes complaining about Flash plugins. I've isolated the cause of this finally to the cbox. I don't know why since I wasn't aware it used flash of any kind.

I'll see if there's any information on their site as to why this might be.

No, it's to do with cbox. I was worried it was to do with the new ads I have installed but apparently not. That's a relief. No other NDim sites do it besides EN (which has a cbox).

I've sent them a support message claiming that my site users are furious and are insisting I remove the cbox immediately. This always gets support teams in a flurry.

Hello Paul

Thank you for your email.

When Flash is available on the client's browser, Cbox uses it to implement real-time streaming (as part of the Live Chat feature enabled at http://cbox.ws/admin.php?settings) and also for audio. Most users will have the Flash plugin installed, but there should not be a problem for users who don't. Do you see the same crash behaviour at your Quick Link, http://seabocks.cbox.ws/? If not, there may be a bad interaction with some other Flash element on your page, such as an ad unit.

Should you need any further assistance please let me know.

No. It's the cbox clashing with the ad.

But I'm not getting rid of the ads. Sorry!

I've tried changing the ad unit to one which is inherently different because I didn't like the suggested ads anyway.

We'll just have to get rid of the cbox.

Did I actually try to do this once? I usually do when the forums are dying.
