Every time I went into chrome, was told udpates ok, on OSM was prompted to riht click for flashplayer, after a few edits everything now seems ok! thanks.

Ah, could it be that the flashplayer needed explicit activation (by clicking or even right clicking) in Chrome? Thanks for information, maybe it helps someone else!

In Firefox, it asks whether Flash should be allowed. Was it the same case for Chrome as well?

Hi, Maybe you need to update your flash version. Just update it and retry. If the problem persists, then retry with Firefox.

@Burton wanderer: what do you mean? Did updating help?
