Nice new feature but please stop repeating notices

[nutrient1]

Every time I visit Viki, it tells me that there is a Watch History button on the top right. I always have to click “Ok, got it.”

…For the 10th time now.

How do I stop it from popping up again? It hinders efficiency.

I’ve never got this pop up, like the watch history, for me, just appeared and I was like “Oh, what is that” lol

Introducing Watch History!Not sure where you left off? Your Watch History page shows a list of recent videos that you have watched.
“Ok, got it.”

^ I get this pop up everytime

Hey @nutrient1,

I’m the Viki product manager that designed the Watch History feature.

For the notice, it should not display again once you click “OK, Got It” to acknowledge the pop-up. Were you using Viki in Incognito mode or did you clear your cookies half way through? Or maybe you have a browser plugin that affects the way cookies are stored on your browser?

Please send a support ticket if you continue to see the notice during your browsing session and you have already clicked on “OK, Got it” to dismiss the pop-up.

Cheers,
Jonathan

i know this appears to be abit off topic but i could not find any other topic relevant to my question…Everytime i put a video to play it shows me a small window that asks me to allow viki to store information on my pc…Is that a feature that has been added by the site managment or is it something that could harm my computer? i would really apreciate it if someone could help me out…
Thanks in advance and sorry for being off topic…

@alekabiberi, try reading through this:

On another topic

Hello everyone,

Just to clarify, I would like to share some information regarding the Flash Player local storage pop-up question.

The Viki Video player is built on a Web technology called Adobe Flash Player. Flash Player has it’s own internal form of cookies, which give it the ability to save data locally to a user’s machine. Viki stores exactly 5 pieces of data in this Flash cookie:

The Volume setting
The Mute setting
The Show/Hide Subtitles setting
The Show/Hide Timed Comments setting
The selected Video Quality setting

I hope this helps put your mind at ease. Our Flash Player is not storing any other information than what you see in the list above.

Adobe Flash Player makes it possible for a user to disable Flash cookies, as follows:

Right-click on the video player (or any Flash application). Select “Settings…” from the right-click menu.
Select the “Local Storage” tab along the bottom (3rd tab).
Slide the slider down to 0 k.

Note: If you do this, the player will still try to save your settings any time you change them, which will prompt a dialog to open every time. If you are really sure that you don’t want the player to remember how you like it to be configured, select the “Never Ask Again” check-box at the bottom of the settings panel.

Hope this helps answer all of your questions regarding this pop-up.
