flash? There should be no flash on the site, it's an HTML5 video. Very strange..., never heard of this issue before. If you can provide more details that'd be great, but no worries if not.

Light bulb actually = "dark mode", it hides everything else on the page. I intentionally left it ambiguous to see if people would curiously click on it :)

Thanks for checking it out!



The audio is flash for me too http://connect.soundcloud.com/soundmanager2/soundmanager2_fl... (Firefox Linux)

The funny thing is that the video is mp4 but on Firefox with NoScript it shows the same kind of placeholder as Flash does (when allowing instagram.com but not cdninstagram.com). My first reaction was "wow, Flash?!" And I missed the flash in the audio player.


The webpage loads at least "http://connect.soundcloud.com/soundmanager2/soundmanager2_fl... in chrome osx, and it seems that with right-click-to-play-flash this prevents the "let's go" button from appearing, even after clicking "run all plugins this time".


Hhmm, thanks a ton for that info. Not sure yet if there's anything I can do about this, but I will definitely look into it.


i think soundcloud requires flash for "anti piracy purposes", the page doesn't actually show the let's go button until you load flash.
