You can even see some of the red paint underneath the plant growth, with white peeking through. Is that the all-white scheme from circa 1982 that preceded the late 80s red paint? This car now looks half Redbird and half early 80s white. In 5-10 years, will the original 1964 turquoise finally show out? |

Why does it not like Safari (or Chrome)?I tried viewing this earlier on my iPhone, and now using Safari on my desktop, and I get the same thing. I just tried it using Chrome, and I get the same error page. Firefox works fine with it. Meanwhile, I found the function which calls up this error page. It's the BrowserCheck() function of their global.js file. function BrowserCheck() { //// acceptable browsers: //alert ( navigator.appName + " // " + navigator.appVersion ) ; if( navigator.userAgent.indexOf( "Chrome" , 0 ) >= 0 ) { window.location.replace( "http://njscuba.net/util/error-other.html" ) ; return 1 ; } if( navigator.userAgent.indexOf( "Safari" , 0 ) >= 0 ) { window.location.replace( "http://njscuba.net/util/error-other.html" ) ; return 1 ; } if( navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && parseFloat(navigator.appVersion) >= 4.0 ) { if( ( navigator.userAgent.indexOf( "MSIE 7" , 0 ) >= 0 ) || ( navigator.userAgent.indexOf( "MSIE 8" , 0 ) >= 0 ) || ( navigator.userAgent.indexOf( "MSIE 9" , 0 ) >= 0 ) ) //// future? { browser = "IE" ; return 0 ; } } if( navigator.appName == "Opera" && parseFloat(navigator.appVersion) >= 7.11 ) { browser = "NS" ; return 0 ; } if( navigator.appName == "Netscape" && parseFloat(navigator.appVersion ) >= 5.0 ) { browser = "NS" ; return 0 ; } if( navigator.appName == "Konqueror" && parseFloat(navigator.appVersion ) >= 5.0 ) { browser = "NS" ; return 0 ; } if( navigator.appName == "Safari" && parseFloat(navigator.appVersion ) >= 5.0 ) { browser = "NS" ; return 0 ; } if ( ! check_browser ) return 0 ; //// reject the rest: //alert( "This website requires MS Internet Explorer 6.0+ or Netscape 6.0+\n\nPlease upgrade your browser." ) ; window.location.replace( "http://njscuba.net/util/error-other.html" ) ; return 1 ; } |

It gives me a message that I shouldThis web browser is incapable of displaying all the features and functionality of the website. I suggest the latest version of Firefox, Opera, or Internet Explorer. This is the first site I have ever clicked on that gave me a message like that. |

I will just have to wait till I am on a different computer. There's no way I am changing my browser on the computer I am using just to see that site. it's unfortunate, as I wanted to see the photos, but I think this webmaster is ridiculous. |

It equates Safari, Firefox, and Opera with Netscape. Never heard of Konquerer. His little opinion of Safari is of no consequence, but I can understand the statement about mobile browsers. |

BTW, I think the webmaster is reading the thread, because he updated the "error" page since I initally posted it, which now includes the following:I prefer it not be seen at all than mangled by bad software, especially when the alternatives that work are all FREE. Sheesh! I've heard of making a mountain out of a molehill, but THIS is RIDICULOUS! If this guy would only explain what on the site is "incompatible" with certain browsers, then maybe we'd have some incentive. But NOOOOOOOO! He has to say stuff like "Safari sucks." The one who should be civil about this is the one who wrote, "This is my website" [sic], but as it is, he's just being a jerk. |

I did view the site on a different computer I have at work, and the site is worth the look, but again, I am not changing the browser on my laptop, I will just have to use the other computer if I want to see it.The photos are pretty cool though.... |

That's what I have on my laptop, and it won't work. I don't want to upgrade to IE7, as I am not thrilled with that, but have IE7 on a computer I have at work, and it did load with IE7. I am not changing from IE6 to IE7 on my laptop though, for my own reasons, and as cool as the photos are, it's the only site I ever had a problem viewing before. |

This is stupid, Can't use Safari on my mac, or an iphone, or even the work-issued BlackBerry. I am sorry, I don't support sites like that, and this webmaster is an arrogant Bigot (When it comes to browsers). |
