Comments | | | |  | I apologise for my tone of voice, didn't mean to offend
by Tristan Summers 57301730 |
Apologies to the herd at large. My over-familiar tone of voice was not meant to be insulting. I meant it in an I am amongst friend kind of way and now realise it may have seemed very rude. sorry. I was probably panicking and in a rush in a caffeine fuelled deadline way.
What I meant to say was:
I wonder if there is a way to speed up tha fast forward to enable a quick scrub to get an overview of a tutorial's content. Since tutorials have switched to video content it is difficult to quickly see what a tutorial is about.
Thank you everyone for all the fantastic work and sorry again

| | | | If I click further down the tutorial I can't fast forward; it seems to necessitate downloading the whole video. This is bad. I don't want to listen to the theme tune and more bad jokes every time, sometimes I want to fast forward to the one bit of information I don't already know. I think the video herd should be able to figure out how to do this. Maybe I should find someone who knows how to do it and post somewhere relevant... | | | | |
| | | | Tristan;
If you do not know how to slide a slider bar along a timeline, there really isn't much hope. | | | | |
| | | | | Is there a more general place I can comlain about the ridiculous lack of fast forward?

Come on guys it's the 21st century I should be able to fast forward thru these movies by now... I'm not going to watch a whole tutorial when only 1 bit of it is what I need to know
