I'm fairly certain that's a known bug.

Update: Yeah, it is. Apparently it's not going to be fixed because the mobile version of the site they're working on uses a different layout and JavaScript library, etc.

I've noticed this bug too.  And a few others when using an iPad.   The biggest bug is that I still cannot see embedded videos on my iPad.

Yup. :(

The mobile version of the site is a few months away, I believe. We've seen "sneak peek #2" I believe.

Frankly, it's frickin' stupid that they don't work right now. They've even been so dumb as to tell me "they work!" when I know for a fact they don't, DESPITE the fact that it would be relatively easy to MAKE THEM WORK. But they use the older method to embed the video in the threads and it doesn't work with the iPads or anything which won't show Flash (most everything).

I doubt they even work with the Chrome browser you can download for iPad, but it might be worth a shot. Chrome for awhile on the desktop was bundling in a version of Flash, IIRC.

And Huddler people, if you're reading this, I'm sorry but you know I'm right about this stuff, and I've pointed this YouTube issue out (as have others) for almost as long as this site's been on Huddler.

Not even 'relatively'...it's a very easy bit of coding for any programmer Huddler would hire. Makes me think their development staff is pretty thin. Again, I hope MS's new tablet is solid so that I can ditch my iPad. Even though fewer sites seem to be using Flash, I HATE that a company takes it upon themselves to decide to eliminate support for something that's still pervasive.

Oh please. Flash sucks. It didn't go over well on ANY mobile device.

...had nothing to do with my opinion of Flash as a technology. Since you jumped off-topic with this, though:

I'll expand on my thoughts:

My opinion has nothing to do with the functionality of Flash on mobile devices, but everything to do with Apple deciding for its users what content/technology to which their users should be exposed. Flash isn't the only thing Apple has restricted in their closed 'eco-system'. I'm not here to do battle with Apple fanboys - buy whatever you think is best for you. I own an iPad because it's currently the best tablet on the market. I don't own an iPhone because it's not the best phone on the market (IMO).

My phone has no problem playing Flash videos. The 'It didn't go over well on ANY mobile device' statement isn't true. Even my older Android-based phone (circa 2007) played Flash videos without a hitch.

Whether you and I like it or not, Flash still has almost a 25% market share of all video presented on the web. 6 of the top 10 websites in the world still use Flash (Google, YouTube, Yahoo, Baidu, Amazon, QQ). Meanwhile, users that access your site on the most popular tablet (50%+ market share) and one of the most popular MM phones sold (40%+ market share) are S.O.L. when it comes to viewing Flash videos on TheSandTrap.com. That's a result of the software you've chosen to use to power your site, and my original comments were directed at Huddler, not you or the viability of Flash as a technology.

Well, that's the thing: you have it precisely backwards. Apple sells a device, and the customers decide what content/technology they want to expose themselves to when they buy it or don't buy it. Everyone knew the iPhone didn't support Flash. People bought it anyway, and in fact, some bought it because of that reason.

Apple's systems aren't really any more closed than others, and their "closed" system has some pretty nice advantages, too. But hey, you said a few key buzzwords and got a "fanboy" reference in, so it's all good.

Sure it did. Flash was killed for a lot of reasons, but it could be summarized as "it didn't go over well on any mobile device."

25% and dropping. Awhile ago it might have been 10 out of 10 (and YouTube uses it but has 100% fallback for non-Flash users, as does Google, Yahoo, etc.).

I'm well aware of the fact that Huddler sucks in this regard. I've told them several times. This site doesn't use much Flash, though - they could make the YouTube videos show up by using the standard embeds, which allow YouTube to substitute in MP4 (etc.) files when played. This works and is very easy to do, yet Huddler has not done this. I'm not happy about it, and I've told them. Not much more I can do. :)

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By StuM ·

      Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point.

      When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.

      Scottie & Rory on Wedge Game

      By saevel25 ·

      I liked Rory talking about keeping it shallow. I think a lot of people imagine steep as really steep. Trackman has a PW attack angle at 5 degrees. Pitch shots you probably want less than 5-degrees.  Here is 5 degrees, the dashed line. It isn't much at all.  People probably need to feel like the club is stupidly shallow if they hit it really steep.  Some good tidbits of information though.
