Need Verification Help of site problems

When I go to the site below and go to the "Registration" page, after completing all of the information that is requested, there is supposed to be a button at the bottom to "send" the inputed info, this button is not visible to me using version 0.9.12 on a Win98SE System. Also when I attempt to view the example of how to register, the Flash plugin loads, but I can only hear the instructions no animation is visible.

Just want verification if it's only me or is it a problem?

Thanks for the any help.

On the register menu, I see a a menu to fill with personal data and at the very bottom of the screen, there's a "register" button, supposedly to send the info.

Have you tried it on Internet Explorer?

The submit button is being hosted on akamai.net, this is commonly blocked in various ad filtering techniques because it is freqently used to host ad images. Blocking it is problematic however, because many sites also use it for legitimate images (such as the submit buttons). To fix the problem permanently, you need to disable or edit anything which might be blocking it (this includes proxies, filtering programs, image permissions, adblock, PAC files, usercontent files, etc). A temporary fix that should work (unless it's your usercontent file that's blocking it) is to turn on image placeholders, then just click where the image -should- be. (You can also move the mouse around the right area until you see "javascript:submit(main)" in the status bar, then click.)

Wow, blocking Akamai is just silly; IIRC it provides the biggest caching network, and I read somewhere that it is sometimes used to help alleviate the effect of DDoS attacks.

The problem with akamai (and the reason most people block it) is that about 80% or more of the images it is used for are ad images. If you block akamai, you can block a huge portion of ads all in one shot. Only a few sites use akamai for legitimate images (I think amazon is one of them), so most poeple don't realize that any site uses them for legitimate images.
