Question about the Webcam...

I assume that the webcam is actually "live" and the incorrect date/time being displayed is because the host computer is improperly set and not that old images are being broadcast. Is that a fair assumption?

Yes, I believe that is a fair assumption.

Thanks, Bob.

I know it is live because I see the same cloud formations as what I see off my back patio during the day.

You are making me jealous; but I'll get over it by early August.

Well for now just crack a cold one and stare at the webcam all day.......jajaja.

Consider it done, Sir.

That camera is just a tease. I have to plan my next escape!

Okay...am I just being a senior blonde?...I cannot find the link to the webcame. Help! LOL

It is under the drop down Nav Bar on the top right hand corner of your screen. Click on it.

New layout - takes a bit to get used to.

Upper right corner - bar labelled "This is the new Navbar Menu" - click it for a pop-down menu. Webcam is the ninth item on the list.

Bless you...never would have figured that one out. I'm out of tequila! LOL

Hey, I found it. I left-clicked thereon, a new window opened, however sadly the screen was not a blank or white screen, there was one color. It was totally black. Oh And its close to 1 PM there.

Oh well, keep on trying :)

Pete:

It must be that weather in the PNW. I just clicked right after your post and got:

Pete, if your connection speed is not fast enough then the screen won't load. Keep trying.

First, thanks for the picture Neil.

Second Bob, here are my speedtest results and I still got the black screen of death


I will try connecting via another server and using a different computer

Strange: I went to the hotel website and left-clicked on the live camera icon and I got the picture.

Later this afternoon I shall play around using a different ISP , laptop, etc

Hmmmmm.........that is strange. Can you think of any reason why it is working fine for us down here but not you NOB??? I believe we have other members NOB who can see it OK as well.

Pete, it's not necessary to LEFT-click on the webcam; right-clicking will open the webcam in a new window (which you are trying to do with your left-click). I can see the Webcam pic plain as day. It's a beautiful day in Chapala!

It's not a speed issue - it is a left-clicking issue. Don't left click on the drop-down menu. The stuff that needs a new window gets a new window.

Merry - Do you have a left-handed mouse?

I left click to open in a new window.

Yes, perhaps MexicoPete is left-handed.

Merry

Well, I am right handed with a right handed mouse and I left click on the bar to get the drop down menu then left click on the link to get the webcam to open in a new window.

That said, right now it isn't connecting.

Axixic, that's funny, we were both thinking about left-handed mice at the same time.

Left-clicking on a mouse (regardless of which hand you use) is a browser command to open in a new window. The drop-down menu already has a command to open in a new window. Hence you get a window of a new window which is blank.

I used to work at Netscape, I know way too much about browsers.

Merry

Okay, I'm confused.

If I right click on the link I get the standard (IE) pop-up giving me the option to:
Open link
Open link in new tab
Open link in new window
etc.

But if I LEFT click it just automatically opens the link in a new tab.
