11 Hi!
12
13 I've been having detection problems, too. For example, there was some flash video site that said It
14 couldn't detect flash, but it allowed me to go on, skipping the detection, and all worked. So, I
15 guess this has to do with some javascript.
16
17 There is one (adult, yes!!) site (do not follow the link if you feel uneasy about adult content),
18 where this happened (yes, to me):
19
20 www.pornotube.com
21
22 It has detection, and skip-detection link, too. SO, try to navigate to it and see what happens.
23 Check out the pages source (frames, etc).
24
25 Now, MY problem with detection was solved by unmasking and keywording net-www/netscape-flash, and by
26 manually removing the older (Firefox-and-not-emerge-installed) flash plugin.
27
28 Try that.
