Any ideas work fine on the laptop and desk top. I thought that it was possible to see these on an ipad? Any help please? its possible to view them on the vimeo page.

Thanks

There flash I think and Ipad doesnt have flash installed. Try using "skyfire" to view them or just view them on laptop and wait till the internet no longer uses flash but HTML5

Does vimeo not rely on flash when embedded into a forum/blog?
If you're jailbroken then install Frash but otherwise (if it is flash based) you're buggered.

Example? I've not had any problem on the iPhone, which should be the same.

I think they use flash player which doesnt work on ipad / pod / phone.

if someone is a vimeo plus member (they pay), then videos will work. dont think they have rolled out their new player to everyone.

edit - i think the vimeo plus bit works in html5.

or apple grow up an accept that adobe came up with a better idea than them, based on the current weather hell might freeze over as well.

Vimeo site works fine on the iPhone and I'm sure I've watched embedded vimeo videos on this site on the phone. (not jailbroken).

Ahh the ones here:

Don't work though. I suspect they haven't been embedded correctly by whoever wrote the story.
If Tom the Web Monkey is about I'm sure he'll fix it.
