Weight Watchers: Inaccessible Design
Today I discovered that Weight Watcher’s web site (for which I pay $17/month) does not allow me to access their site in Konqueror.
Today I tried logging into weightwatchers.com to track my points for today.
After a brand-spanking new install of Kubuntu on my 64-bit computer, I tried accessing the site in KDE’s default browser - Konqueror.
The result was not pleasant…
Unfortunately for me, and many others, we have to have Flash 9 installed on one of 3 browser (IE, Safari, or Mozilla). This is rather poor design on WW’s decision to simply block access for unsupported browsers.
There are many, many more than 3 browsers, and perhaps they don’t care about 2-3 people a week in their stats that won’t be able to access their site, but when it happens to me - I write about it.
