Really? Okay. Checking... I am sorry. Both you and Aaron Konstam are posting similar but different problems under the same subject line. That is called thread highjacking but we won't go into that now. It can confuse things can it not?
Actually, I wasn't posting a problem rather trying to help Aaron with his. But I may have encountered a different problem than he did, and therefore inadvertantly hijacked. That was not my intention. Actually, it looks as if different list members are all getting different results with that site.

Thank you. Yes, that is our new daughter.
I guess that I was unclear. I meant your site - the Citibank site because I had thought it was your that did post it. > And I too can reach the site. But certain parts of the site pop up an > "error" that I'm using the wrong operating system. Thats blocking, my > friend. I do not have this happen to me at all. It works on my son's Mac with Firefox 2.0.0.1. It works for me with Windows XP PRO and the same Firefox. And it works with Fedora Linux (Rawhide) and Firefox 2.0.0.1. All with FLASH 9 installed.
Hmm, the error message says that Firefox is supported under Windows and Mac, but not Linux. However the linux blocking seems to be inconsistent between list members. May it be filtering on geographic area as well? I'm being block, and I'm in Israel. Anybody else care to post their results?
The only notice I get is that they want FLASH installed and all that gives you is the advertisements to read.
I have FlashBlock installed. That could be a problem.
The site appears to use FRAMES. That could be your problem. What are you using browser and other information you might offer would be helpful?
Swiftfox 2.0.0.1 with FlashBlock (and some other irrelevant extensions).
I am not trying to argue with you about this. I am trying to help you. You sound frustrated but if you don't want my help please just say so and I will be more that happy to stop trying.
I didn't think that this was an arguement. I actually thought that we were both trying to help Aaron :) And I am certainly not frustrated, but if I came off that way then I'm sorry. I'm not the best at expressing myself with words, at least that's what the wife says :) Dotan Cohen http://technology-sleuth.com/short_answer/what_is_a_firewall.html http://lahes.com
