Hi Nick,

Do you have any form of flash installed? Do other flash sites work?

Hello..
you need to have extra repositories enabled..
To enable all the software repositories do ref this link..

http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources

after getting all the required repositories enabled

Type the following command in a terminal (applications -> accessories -> terminal)

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

That should install flash

Regards

Bhavani Shankar.

I've also tried that installation and it didn't work either, are there any further suggestions ?

Can you help with this problem?
