Recently whenever I click on my webcam while on sh it closes down the site which is damn annoying as I have to wait 5 minutes to get back in. I have a Mac OS X/Safari but the cam works elsewhere.
I know it works on sh as it has done before.. is there any reason? I have fiddled my settings etc but no joy!

Do you have any other issues? Either with the cam or with Safari?
It could be a corrupted preference file for instance.
Hi Dolly. Great to see another Mac user on the site.
Have you tried using the Firefox browser on your Mac? We use it as the default and have no problems using our iSight either with iChat, Messenger or in an SH chat room. It works with our iMac, G4 and Mac Mini.
When you say "fiddled with the settings", could you explain a bit more please. Does the cam work with iChat?
Let us know either on here or by PM and I will try to help.
:welcome:
Hiya fellow Mac users!
Do any of you use a piece of software called Macam?
cool 8-) 8-)
Hello BBW_lover
As the iSight uses Firewire rather than USB we don't need Macam.

Yeah I know but you can't buy the iSight anymore, and it was more expensive than the budget cams. It was superior in quality though.
lol :lol: :lol:
Thank you for the advice! Actually got it to work today on sh for several hours but this evening sh is crashing again when i try to cam... is it because it's busier?
No I have no problem using the cam elsewhere, it's not an iSight though a budget one but a good picture.
I will try using Firefox that might help, I'll keep you posted.
Thanks again

Tried Firefox and worked much better with sh (doesn't crash!) however it's conflicting with Safari I think but with some experimenting I will hopefully resolve the issues! Flash player and quicktime etc will only work on Firefox now not Safari but probably a preferences thing!
Thanks again though for the advice.
