Hey there, Mr. Drivin' 'Cause it's Midnight. You've said that you're having trouble listening to your [[:File:H*RslowKickABall.ogg|recent upload]] in your browser. OGG is one of those formats that isn't universally supported by browsers. When a browser attempts to view a file that isn't a web page, it will check if it has built-in support for that file format. Then, it will check for installed and/or available plug-ins that support said format. As a last resort, it will treat the file as a download so the user can open it in a stand-alone application. Contrary to what I might have implied in a recent edit, MediaWiki doesn't hand out forced-downloads like some websites. So what you're experiencing is normal; your browser just doesn't know what do to with OGG files. I hope this helps. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 23:06, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello NighttimeDriver50000, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and page histories from being flooded.

[edit] Forced-downloads

Hey there, Mr. Drivin' 'Cause it's Midnight. You've said that you're having trouble listening to your recent upload in your browser. OGG is one of those formats that isn't universally supported by browsers. When a browser attempts to view a file that isn't a web page, it will check if it has built-in support for that file format. Then, it will check for installed and/or available plug-ins that support said format. As a last resort, it will treat the file as a download so the user can open it in a stand-alone application. Contrary to what I might have implied in a recent edit, MediaWiki doesn't hand out forced-downloads like some websites. So what you're experiencing is normal; your browser just doesn't know what do to with OGG files. I hope this helps. —Soiled Bargains (talk|ctrb) 23:06, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
