    Hi everyone, looking for some honest reviews on animesfree[dot]com

    I am looking for feedback on the navigation, banner, and also videos.

    Some people have reported that the videos are NOT WORKING :mad:

    They seem to work fine for me. If you could play 1 video and see even if it loads about 5 seconds in then this will be great!

    The site is well designed, it has a nice look and feel to it but I think
    you should add more content to the first page, the videos worked
    for me.

    the design is very nice - I like it.
    As for the videos, they didn't play - I am using a DSL connection.

    You know a while ago I was having the same problem that you're having now... I have a video website and the videos aren't loaded (or taking a very long time to do).
    I use GoDaddy for the hosting, I guess the hosting provider is the cause of why the movies are taking forever to load. I lastly fixed the problem by uploading the videos to youtube and embed the code that they provide inside my HTML page. I lost some of the quality for sure, but the videos are playing much quickly now.

    Regards,
    Wassim

    That is really weird, they play for some people but don't play for others.

    I embedded all those videos from other video websites such as imeem.com or megavideo.com. It is in HTML.

    My web hosting is extremely slow and I can't afford dedicated hosting because I am making $0 from all my websites, which are totally volunteer work.

    But they play for me! I just have to wait 2-3 minutes.

    Do you think this is too long for visitors to wait?

    I think people will wait only if they see something is going on. Even if they can't see the video, there should be some message like "Loading" , "buffering" so that people understand the video is going to play soon. Your screen isn't showing anything, that's the problem.

    I've fixed this with the majority of videos coming from Megavideo.com they seem to be loading at faster rates now.
