Hello Keith
I have been working on making a site for my kids and their school sports http://sayreeagles.net
and I have Roughneck City and Drilling Ahead both here although i have lots of work on the latter one to do...
Been watching your SHALE sites every now and then and wondering if you would be making the move from Ning?
Times are sure tough in the oilfield right now and slow- I figured it offered a good opportunity to rebuild.
Wish you luck!

Video Player Size Getting Cut Off Again

Design and Skin Customization

Thanks Michael- switching to MIDNIGHT PLAYER fixed the problems..

Video Player Size Getting Cut Off Again

Design and Skin Customization

Here is a screenshot of desktop AFTER you start the video- notice the bottom is cut off AND the strange gray bar on top? ( That gray bar is the background for the caption.js)

hmmm here is what i am seeing from iphone (attached) and almost as bad from desktop (Chrome)

Video Player Size Getting Cut Off Again

Design and Skin Customization

My player is set to the dark player but as you can see at this link It seems to be the gray player because there is a strange gray bar above it that should not be there AND the bottom part of the video is being cut off again

Also strange mouseover controls- how do i shut that off so the controls show without mouseover?

I am using captionjs figcaption to caption IMAGES using the ALT tags of images somehow the embed function of JR is conflicting with this
Any ideas on how to stop this reoccurring problem from happening?
Thanks

I have to agree- setting up a basic site can be done in one evening after you get an understanding of Jamroom

I am excited to see more people get on board as developers and look forward to more skins

I am also excited to see you guys get involved in social media more- it will make it easier for all of you to understand any small issues experienced when sharing content ( I have worked through these areas myself by adding custom Facebook OG to new pages)

I am not sure how you could utilize FB to promote JR but I have 1 website here where I make a living from and FB nearly put me out of business with everyone on FB having the ability to form their own GROUPS and PAGES etc....then I decided to use FB to MY advantage by building a Facebook Fan page for my site which is very active for my niche- everytime I post an article on my site I SHARE it to my FB Fan page and now over 90% of all my traffic comes from FB posts that are SHARED around the web---Have had days with over 30,000+ hits just from FB
So if YOU can find a way to use FB to drive traffic to JR then I think you are on track
GOOD LUCK GUYS!

How to add the who is online for the entire site?

Using Jamroom

Thanks Douglas- for coding I use http://www.pspad.com/en/ I was always under the impression that pasting to notepad removed all MS word characters and formatting so thats always just been a step in my progression ( but does not seem to be working that way anymore) I pasted the code into PSPad and it cleaned a bunch of it up but still lacks 2 characters.. I will try that Crimson editor in a bit
