Is anybody else having troubles loading their SprntPCS "Manage/MY PCS" site? It takes like 5 minutes over a very fast T1 line to load the mangement page under their new design...it used to take only a few seconds to load the page.

Is this a Safari issue? Or yet another shun towards the Macintosh on Sprint's end??

This is what I'm getting now:

Safari is even in their list of acceptable web browsers. I've reported the bug to Apple.

i agree w/ all of the above. i'm thinking it's a java thing, but i could be totally wrong. the site runs OK under IE, but horridly under safari.

sprint needs to get with the program. they really to support useful technologies like bluetooth rather than goofy camera phones.

Phew, glad I am not the only one...thanks for verifying, I appreciate that!

FWIW, the page loads instantly using the latest Windoze IE on XP (go figure)...

I now use Mozilla FireBird (the latest nightly build - quite nice) and it's fast as hell compared to what I had to wait for in Safari when loading SprintPCS.com and to log into my account.

Yes, so is IE for Mac....I think it's basically a Safari issue more then anything....

Same here. Safari botched the page quite nicely. They want my payment, they'll get that **** fixed.

yeah, this has been fscked ever since they re-did it. For me tho the page has always lagged, even in IE and it still drags ass on a 2mb line so I'm needless to say not thrilled. Takes forever to log in for text messaging and such.

Moreover, I was told by one of the guys that did the site that they tested it especially in Safari, as well as Netscape, Firebird, Opera, etc. No explanation as to why it wont work other than that it's a CSS issue.

Well, they tested it with Safari 1.0 (v85.5) from Jaguar; however, not with Panther's new Webcore/Safari changes and v1.1.1....

CMYKid · Nov 25, 2003, 07:56 PM

yeah, I'm using 85.5 tho and STILL have the same problems...odd, that.
