A Local Downloading Question...

Aren't the forum accounts and the org accounts the same thing?

I thought they were and if they are you've only been here a little while according to your join date.

Do the downloads start up immediately or do you have to wait for the link to appear? If you have to wait for the link just wait about 60 seconds longer before clicking to make sure it doesn't confuse the downloads.

Are they the same? o_0 I don't think they are because I was asked to sign in on the forums when I had already been signed onto the site for months. I dunno...maybe I did somthing wrong. Anyway, the downloads DO start up immediately, but then all if dowloads is some text message that says 'Error: You are trying to download this vidoe too soon after your last download attempt' when, in fact, I haven't downloaded anything in days. And, if I click on the link instead, it says the same thing, even after waiting.

Or rather, it asked me to REGISTER on the forums.

Go to 'Member Main' and hit the 'my profile' link. What is the join date it lists under that? It *should* be the same as the one listed under your avatar there - in which case your 2 wks aren't up.

If by chance it's a different date, are you using internet explorer when you try to download the links? If so, you go to the vid description, click the green 'local' link and the file should pop up asking if you want to play or save - hit save and it should begin downloading the vid. The only time you'd get a text document is if you right click the green local link instead of hitting it (it saves the other page that pops up - not the file).
