ADJ Web site

What OS and platform are you using?

Have you blown out your cache and temporary internet files?

Are you using a broadband router?

Are you using anti-virus software?

What version of the software are you using?

Are you using any plug-ins(most cause problems, by the way)? If so, what?

Are you using peer to peer file sharing? Stop stealing and stop getting viruses prolifating through those filth-holes.

I've used it with Firefox, Safari, MSIE(7/8) and Opera(all latest), and the site works fine, both Mac OS 10.5.8, XP Home/Pro, 2K, and Win7 64-bit.

Most pages don't comply to "html standards" because the standard keeps changing on a whim, and plus, couple that with the crap-ware page creation packages that bulk the hell out of web pages, well, there's bound to be problems.

You know, I had a long reply addressing all your points. However, to hell with it

If you are even an 'unofficial' representative of ADJ you need to watch your mouth and quit accusing your customers of stealing.

Make no mistake... your statement right there might just be enough to drive me away from ever buying anything ADJ in the future.

Then again, apparently it seems you and/or ADJ don't really care, do you.

No we care. I am a "Offical" ADJ employee. I apologize for chris, sometimes he may say stuff that seems offensive but he doesn't mean for it to be that way or was directed towards you. So if your using Firefox have you tried holding down ctrl and then using your mouse scroll wheel to adjust the resolution on the page at all? I do this all the time on Firefox to adjust webpages to large enough text for my poor Computer eyes. haha.
Sincerely,

Thanks Jingles. I appreciate you jumping in. I should have looked at the moderator list before assuming Cris Pickett was affiliated with ADJ.

I'm just trying to help. I spent 10+ years as a Director of Internet/Online marketing. One of my duties was as the project manager for the design, development and launch of product web sites for two different Fortune 500 companies. I still cringe when I come across a company website that is ill-designed, bloated and/or broke.

I know ADJ isn't a fortune 500 company. That doesn't lessen the importance of presenting itself as positively as possible via its website. I submit it's probably THE most important marketing tool ADJ has. ADJ has more exposure to potential 'street' customers via the website than all the dealer shows, events and other marketing programs combined.

As such, whoever is in charge of ADJ marketing and/or their website should be ALL OVER any even potential problem with the website. If it were me in my previous life and I allowed such a mistake to happen (or worse, remain) I'd probably find myself back in charge of getting business cards for new employees or printing brochures or something.

I'm just sayin...

Anyway, thanks for the FireFox tip re: cntrl/mousewheel. I've been using "PC's" since the early 70's (starting with an MITS Altair 680b & S-100 buss computers). Just goes to show you can learn something new about 'puters everyday.

Now... to figure out why one of the two ADJ Tri-Gem LED fixtures I just received is not responding to sound like it should.

If you're not paying for your music, you're stealing.

How simple is that to understand?

Are the artists being compensated? Nope.

I WILL never apologize for that. Stealing is stealing, and this peer to peer crap has costs me THOUSANDS in royalties, so excuse me if I'm bitter. We're not talking pennies, we're talking 6-digit kind of numbers without a decimal point.

But, you didn't bother to mention any of the issues I brought up, which leads me to believe the problem is on YOUR END of things. I tested the site with multiple platforms and multiple OS's(I fired up X on my Linux web server to test there, and sure enough: no problems with Mozilla).

Seems I'm going to run into the proverbial brick wall again with someone who WANTS HELP but won't HELP get HELP, and is quick to accuse without actually giving a thorough examination.

Since I've been doing web development for over 16 years myself(I stopped because the pay was starting to suck), I routinely test and report poorly operating systems. The ADJ site is FAR from perfect, and it glitches now and then after updates(typically), but I have yet to experience the problems you described.
