I forgot the damn thing was there. Nix it, nobody will shed a tear or anything.

I never use it. It's actually kind of annoying when it gets clicked by accident and I don't notice. I would take it out.

Response to Launch Automatically... 2002-10-21 13:36:44


get rid of it, its not much use and if it would cause less clutter to eliminate it, then throw it in the trash...

i never ever use it i like to read wot theyve wrote first

Response to Launch Automatically... 2002-10-21 13:48:48


I used it once. I hated it. I turned it off.

Response to Launch Automatically... 2002-10-21 14:08:41


Get rid of it, but make sure that movies DON'T launch automatically. I don't remember if they did or not before that feature was installed.

Ever since we implemented the pop-up window feature for viewing content, we have had a checkbox to "Launch automatically from now on!"

If you click this box, the movie will automatically pop up whenever you go to a view page. I don't know of anyone who uses this feature, so I was wondering - does anyone? If no one uses it, we could consider removing it, as we are adding some more information to those pages and could use less clutter. Let me know your thoughts!

I have never used that auto lauch box, so i think you should remove it because it appears that almost no one else uses it as well.

I used to use it, not so much any more.

Response to Launch Automatically... 2002-10-21 15:37:21


I ain't using it

I DO NOT use this box (if this can help you a little).
And I don't think that the others do.

I don't use it. I thought it meant only that movie you were at loaded automatically, not all the others.

I never use that feature. If I ever click it it's because I meant to click the link. Then I spaz out and re-click it because having them pop up again automatically would drive me crazy.

Get rid of the feature.

Oh, and i may be wrong, but i think before that, movies were just embeded on the page with all the voting info. There was no pop-up movie window.

i dont use it...accidentally clicked it once and found it quite annoying

Response to Launch Automatically... 2002-10-21 17:21:08


Yeah. I use it all the time. It allows me to look at other stuff while I wait for the pages to load. I have a slow connection so it helps me.

I used to use it but now I don't. I think when we click on a movie link it should take us to the page and start loading the movie. I use Mozilla and sometimes when I click "watch movie" it doesn't always work. ^^;

Go ahead and remove it. That way, no one has to worry about someone like d3mont3 unleashing a virus on unsuspecting NG'ers.

Um...well...

From what I've heard, 80% of Web users--in the US--have dialup. If they're like I was in HS, they don't use auto-launch because they're trying to hold on to what precious little bandwidth they have.

If the other 20% are like me now, they're annoyed by windows popping up out of the blue. Regardless of whether it's a kickass movie or a stupid popup.

My advice? I could live without it, and so can the vast majority (99%, probably) of NG users.

id say that i use the option about 60% of the time. sometimes clicking *click this to watch this movie blah blah blah* gets irritating and its a nice option to have...

I think it should be removed. People who actually useit shouldn't, because its too easy to embed a virus into the flash so when it autoruns you get infected, and can't see the comments "DON'T VIEW IT HAS A VIRUS!!!" etc

Response to Launch Automatically... 2002-10-21 21:22:55


How about just making it part of our user profile options? Then we'd still be able to use it but not have it cluttering up every page.
