Was about to post this. Seems like the Progressive player or chosing Auto as the quality works so you can use that until they fix it.

As an aside, the names of the options are a bit misleading at this point. They are both HTML5 but the HTML5 option streams the video in chunks like most online video and Progressive just plays the video by downloading the entire file.

Still a problem. The HD version seems to be corrupted slightly causing the regular player to not work at all.

Playing the file directly (left click the HD option under Download) in Firefox works but the video is glitchy at around 8 seconds in, clearing up after a few seconds. Edge (Chromium) won't play past 8 seconds unless you skip to a part in the video after 15-20 seconds.

Downloading the file and playing with MPC-HC works, again with the video seeming corrupted at 8 seconds in and the clearing up. VLC is the same.

Hi.

I've previously reported (when the redesign was new, so a while ago at this point) that the text boxes for the forum and comments are busted on Firefox compared to Chromium and derivatives.

The darker grey area is not there on Chromium
The darker grey area is not there on Chromium

I think this problem has to do with "padding-bottom: 0px" but I'm not a webdev.

But you can still post comments, it just looks terrible. But I've found that if you go to, for instance, this page:

https://www.giantbomb.com/shows/602-easy-chicken/2970-19636/premium-video

Then switch from premium video to any other version you can't post a comment at all. The entire input box is unresponsive.

If you do the same thing on Chromium based browsers you can still post comments but something odd happens there too. More or less three quarters of the input box becomes unresponsive. Kinda how the box acts for Firefox at all times except the colour isn't incorrect.

Attached an image, should be self explanatory.

The area that is actually a text box will expand as you type and add lines, but to start with it is only a single line tall.

This happens on all edit boxes I can find in the latest version of Firefox. Doesn't happen with Chrome or Edge.

I did the only reasonable thing and blocked the stupid "Manage settings" floating button with my ad-blocker. Why you wouldn't simply have it in the footer or something instead I will never understand.

Anyway, as has been mentioned by lots of much more informed and articulate people in this thread already, what you are currently doing is illegal under GDPR. It absolutely has to be opt-in, not opt-out, for personal information. That part is so obvious that I literally don't understand how lawyers (which I assume are who designed this entire thing) could get it wrong.

It's been hilarious and depressing at the same time seeing the mad scramble to become GDPR complaint.

@nolanq: It started working for me again a few hours after making my post. But I think for the people in this thread it was only GB that wasen't working properly. If you can't download anything then you need to try another computer/device first and if that doesn't work either then contact your ISP.

If the other device works then I would recommend reinstalling Windows.

Can't download files on my computer or podcasts with Doggcatcher on my phone so I doubt it's related to software.

With my phone I've tried both cellular and wi-fi and both fail.

So, there are a lot of things I would consider wrong with this list.

  • Get an i7-4770K instead of a i7-3770K. 4XXX series is the current one. It goes under the name Haswell. For games though, an i5-4670K will be more than enough.
  • That cooler is pretty nice. Nothing much to say about it. You do not need the extra tube of thermal paste though, there is some included with the EVO 212.
  • Regarding the Motherboard, you will need to buy a LGA1150 socket one for the Haswell CPU.
  • You don't need 16GB RAM. Buy 2x4GB for 8GB in total, and I would recommend at least DDR3-1600, if not faster. If you find you need more later, just buy another 2x4GB kit and install them.
  • SSD you picked is nice, just don't expect to be able to install a ton of games on it once Windows and the rest of your applications are installed.
  • That HDD is REALLY REALLY EXPENSIVE. Just go to the storage tab and sort by price/gb and pick a Western Digital or Hitachi HDD in an appropriate size.
  • GPU is fine. Easy to buy another 770 or replace later if you want to.
  • Case... Here's my tip, coming from someone who has built probably 20 or so computers in various cases. Get a semi-expensive case. Something like the Fractal Design Define R4 or so (I use that one). Words cant express how much nicer it is to build in a decent case. The things you get range from overall quality (cheap cases often have screw holes just slightly off) to nicely thought out cable management options. The Fractal case I mentioned is also really quiet, which I can not say about the tin can of a case my cousin spent roughly $40 on.
  • PSU... Similar to above. Buy an 80+ rated modular PSU from a company like Corsair, Seasonic, Silverstone etc. Having it be modular isn't a must I suppose, but I would highly recommend it. Just keep in mind that buying a cheap PSU is probably the worst decision you can make. If it breaks there is a good chance it will kill all of your components since it is wired directly to them.
  • Windows... I would pick Professional because then you will not be limited to 16GB of RAM. If Win8 is cheaper then get that, not as bad as people make it out to be and there are plenty of free or very cheap tools that gives you back the start menu.
  • I really do not know anything about monitors unless I am looking to buy one at the moment.
  • You do not need an extra wired network card, unless you know you need one in which case you will ignore this.
  • I don't like wireless networks so I don't really know anything about wireless network cards.
  • Rest of the stuff is so subjective that I don't want to comment. Would recommend buying headphones or, if you must, a headset instead of speakers.

Overall, from your list I gather that you don't really know a lot about computers. I would suggest going to http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc for help and I would suggest using http://www.logicalincrements.com/ for help picking parts.

EDIT:

Also, there are some good build videos on youtube that might be worth a watch.

Here's one of the ones I like, but there are many more. Just google "PC build video" and watch away. Might be worth adding stuff like your case to the search in case someone has a video using that specific component.
