[1]now, when I try it, it just shows the horizontal barber pole, but it never gets past the scrolling candy cane.
[2]AND, there is no 'start test' button
[3]What am I doing wrong?
[4]I need to re-confirm my earlier test results.
1. You might just need to clear your browsers cache.
2. I notice the "start" button is now called "Test Now". It also displays only 2 'dials' at once, instead of the 4 I saw last time.
3. Probably nothing! Many times, the problem is with the Interweb, the app, the phase of the Moon. We have been trained, however, to think the problem is us!
4. Don't ever expect two runs to ever have the same values. There are just too many variables. Best you can do is keep a collection of tests and average the scores. I think it is DSL Speed Tests dot com that you can register with and they keep a history of all your scores and will display your averages. I'll check that tomorrow... maybe.
Lastly, this series of tests is mainly to display and use HTML5 (and I suspect lots of CSS3, for animations and transforms) rather than javascript, Flush, etc. and it is "Open Source". That means it can and probably will change over time as people make changes to the code/GUI/etc. If you don't visit daily, you may not recognize it the next time you use it.
In this case, I noticed lots more graphics in a "Summary" section that I don't remember from before.
