Here’s another good news, bad news, post. Ok, let’s start with the bad news first. Over the last 2 and a half months we’ve been trying to bring back one of our servers. Unfortunately it looks like that it won’t be coming back, and along with it … all the videos that were hosted there. We do not have enough resources to archives every video we posted, so it’s almost impossible to back track all the dead links and update them. As of right now, we’re putting a stop-loss on it and move on. Some will get updated, but most won’t. If anyone wishes to volunteer to help update them, or post future videos, let us know. The staffs, and fellow viewers, would really appreciate it.
Now, the good news. All those 5 – 10 minutes videos should be playing fully, at least for now. Yes, it’s been a long time since that problem arise,. We’ll continue to work on it to find a more permanent solution. But for now, enjoy them while you can.
Edit: Look like the fix only worked for approximately a week before they changed the server settings again. Hopefully some people got some use out of that before it went down.
As always, remember that this site is still pretty much in the beta stage. It means that things are constantly changing, things will be broken, updates will be made … so if you find that the site is not working anymore, down the road, try clearing your browsers’ caches and cookies, reinstall plugins …etc .. all the usual stuffs. The staffs are usually hanging around at the forums for extra help if you need any. Yes, it seems pretty inactive there, but we’re always around.

We have updated the plugin requirements to the current version of flash. For most of you who keep your flash plugin up-to-date, you won’t notice anything different. For people who are using version older than 9,0,115,0 … you will be required to update it before you can continuing viewing the videos on this site.
We are also changing the WMP plugin with a newer Silverlight version. The main reason is that the silverlight version works better cross platform (Firefox, Safari … etc) while the WMP plugin only works well with Internet Explorer.
All these updates are minors, but required for your continuation of your enjoyment of the site. If you can’t update your flash plugin, just try unnstill the old version first before installing the new one.
On a side note, we decided to temporary suspend the “purchase” option. A few times a week, we get questions concerning the purchasing of the original video sources. Even though we don’t really sell anything, we decided to look for sources for you. Unfortunately, we haven’t find any reliable ones yet. Vnnmall was one of the few that have an affiliate option. However, even after sending them a message from the contact form and emailing them directly, they don’t reply. If this is how they do business with affiliates and customers, then it’s not worth it. If anyone find a good, reliable source that you have bought from before … let us know. Other interested viewers will appreciate it.

We hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend. We would like to take this opportunity to give thanks to our supporters that had helped us since last year. Thank you for your contributions to this project. We really appreciate all the donations made from our generous viewers, supporting staffs who worked tirelessly on the site for pro bono, and volunteers who worked quietly in the background to keep the site going. Thank you all.
To show our appreciations, we are having a Special Preview Weekend here at OnlinePhim.net this weekend. So, what’s are you previewing exactly? It’s a sneak peek at one of our projects that we’d been working on. This one is … well .. call it’s a spinoff … call it’s an addon … call it whatever you want. It’s what we been working on for quite awhile now, and it also explains why I’m been pretty quite recently. The preview will start at 9pm Friday night (11/23) and will end on Sunday (11/25) 9pm EST.
