Email I sent to WW tech support today….
Dear WW:
I use Mozilla to surf the Internet, both at home and at work. At home, I do not have any Microsoft products on my systems– I use Mozilla or Safari.
Mozilla is a web browser that shares the same code base as Netscape. Generally speaking, it is compatible with Netscape’s features and handling of sites. There’s no logical reason to block Mozilla users from using your site, and yet that’s what you’ve done.
Safari is the web browser released by Apple Computer, for use with OS X computers.
While I don’t mind having browser bugs or minor problems when I go to a website that “prefers” Netscape or Microsoft, I very strongly dislike websites, like yours, that use JavaScript or browser detection to actually block me from using the site with my browser. Your site presents me with a “Dead end” page when I go to weightwatchers.com or when I tried to upgrade to a paid account. If I can expect this kind of non-functionality when I try to use the site as a paid user, I don’t want to upgrade.
This problem would be easy to fix if you just included a link to whatever page the user was trying to get to on your “upgrade your browser” page. When I go directly to the URL of a page inside weightwatchers.com, my browser works just fine and I am able to use the site normally.
Ironically, when I tested my dead Clie cradle on a friend’s computer yesterday, it killed his Palm conduit as well.
I’m just cursed.
I ordered a book on Amazon.com marketplace on Sept. 12 and haven’t received it yet. I followed up yesterday with a query, but have received no reply.
I ordered a bunch of Lovecraft stuff (including the Tarot cards *squeee!*) on amazon.com, which has shipped, and should get here today, since it’s in South San Francisco right now.
I bought a Clie cable yesterday on eBay. No response or contact from the seller.
I owe my dogwalker $103. [done]
I will have 7 points left to eat by dinner tonight, which is enough for a frozen weight watchers dinner. Note to self: The reason you have lost no weight in the last year is because you have a bagel and coffee for breakfast every day. Adjust this, plsthx.
I want this.
I need to photograph, list, and package 20 items to sell on eBay this weekend. I will do this by having a checklist and as I photograph and catalog each item, I will put it in the box and mark the box with a corresponding number. Very organized so I don’t end up selling the wrong things. Some have suggested selling on amazon.com marketplace– see item 1, plsthx.
I also want $129.00 to spend on a Clie N610c (also s-series) adapter for mp3s, because that would be waaay cool!
And I still keep getting American Writer, even though I stopped being a part of the union over a year ago.
