HowStuffWorks "This content is not compatible on this device". How to fix?

Unread post by Stargate38 » 2019-11-16, 22:27

On this page, I can't get the info to come up. It says to click tabs to show info on different Kryptonite types, but all I get is "This content is not compatible on this device". I've attached a screenshot of the relevant part of the page.

Tried to open with Edge or IE: This content is not compatible on this device. Does something different happen on other browsers?

Same thing happens with Chrome and Firefox. Both browsers are up to date, and I've tried with/without adblockers as well.

EDIT: I've contacted them through their contact form. Hopefully they'll fix it if it's on their end.

I did. Now we just have to wait for a response. Hopefully it's something minor (i.e. syntax error, typo in html/php tags, etc.).

Code: Select all

<div class="interactiveFlash" data-swf="https://cdn.hswstatic.com/flash/kryptonite-7.swf" data-width="405" data-height="400">
  <p><i>This content is not compatible on this device.</i></p>
</div>
Apparently it tries to load some Flash-based applet, but it does it in a strange way.

Typical. people on how stuff works not knowing how using plugins on a web page works. :D

If you search the page for text that reads "This content is not compatible on this device", nothing turns up?

I originally thought the same thing when I first clicked the link, but there are flash applets missing where that text appears. I see it on the page twice.

Probably because it has nothing to do with Pale Moon.
