Is the webcam turned off? I have not been able to see it for a week or so.

It’s either off or broken!

I got an error message up until today, but it still doesn't work.

At least I know I am not the only one having problems with this.

It’s still OFF as of today. They say they are working on it. I’m not sure what could possibly take so long.

I don't think they have in-house IT.

That would explain it.  I was hoping the camera died so they can get a good one. Big Smile

Still not working. Are all of you using Chrome? I was told a recent update of Chrome changed the way it handles Flash. Could that possibly be teh problem with the Web-Cam?

In chrome and edge, as of tonight, it says it is down for maintenance.  In firefox it says it is Live.  None of them have a picture and I have no problems with other flash sites.

I infer that it is either a very difficult problem to solve or a very low priority item to fix.

MR is taking the page down and “the web cam won’t be available until further notice”.  Wonder what happened?

It was actually working the other day for a few hours.

The Canadian Cascades was shown in an end view, there was really nothing to see. 

As I said in the "website is so slow thread", if we complain enough, maybe management will decide that the advertisement value of the forum isn't worth the complaints.

I agree with you 100%.  That being said, postings to the forum seem to be continually monitored so that things out of line can be "corrected".  It would seem to me that the individual(s) doing this monitoring are very close to whatever the issue is, and should be able to put it to rest by making a simple statement.  Such as: camera is broken and we're working on it;  we're upgrading and it's taking longer than we thought; we've decided to no longer support this; or whatever other statement is appropriate.
