Get a Link fails on FF if Flash is disabled

Richard

The buttons on the Get a Link panel do not function on FF 41 (Win7) if Flash is disabled or missing. I would call this a bug because--unlike the Stats panel--the user is given no notification that Flash is needed. I was able to get to the bottom of it with the help of Smug Hero Jennifer, but some of my visitors are not going to have a clue why the buttons don't work.

If you won't fix it, at least give a warning.

We're going to fix it by updating the Get-a-Link page entirely. I'll post in the Product News forum when the new Share Photo tool is live. It'll be a slimmed down, much more streamlined share tool and will focus on the features and items that people were actually using, instead of cluttering the page with options that only confused users.

I hinted at this in my previous post, but I've posted some scerenshots of the new Share tool here: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=255286
