But wait, there’s more!

If you log in to subscription within the next 10 minutes, you’ll get a FREE “The page you requested could not be found” message. Log in twice, with TWO browsers, and we’ll double the value and give you two 404 errors.

Steve, RK - Firefox compatibility was a major part of the update work. I’d say somebody missed one or two calls to the browser check function.

Meanwhile, the page you saw has a link near the bottom, where you can tell Firefox to just go on in anyway. I’ve used the link a number of times and the subsequent pages worked fine.

Hmm, nice “improvement” there. My site stats show that only 59% of visitors here are using IE, and that’s been dropping about 1% a month.

I was able to log into the Subscription site just fine, and just when I was about to say “Wow, this is working flawlessly…”, I get this –> “We have detected that you are using a browser that is not currently supported or has known issues with some features within Subscription Center web site. In order to access all of the Subscription Center features, we recommend that you use Microsoft Internet Explorer.”

Good grief…

Most of the Autodesk blogs work because many are hosted on TypePad. If you had any problems with them it was because TypePad were also doing system upgrades over the weekend. Must be the season!
