ECF no longer works on Safari / no iPhone access

[mgrimes]

ECF is no longer accessible via the Safari browser unless you change the User-Agent to FireFox or rather use the FireFox browser. This disables the ability to read ECF from an iPhone.

Update: you can't post to the forum using Safari with changed User-Agent... it thinks every post attempt is under 10 characters. Therefore you must use FireFox or other modern Mozilla variant if you're accessing from a Mac -- and yes, no more iPhone access until issues are resolved.

I can confirm this -- no access on both Safari (Mac) & iPhone. :-(

Not working with Opera either

 

[mizmare]

ditto on Safari/iPhone.

So, what is causing this? I kinda liked being able to read the forum from my iphone.

Just checked it after reading this and I get an error stating "Cannot Open Page... Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost." (sigh)

 

[laynies]

I haven't been able to get it to work on Google Chrome either. What happened??

 

[Surf Monkey]

Confirmed. The Safari error:


Request failed.
Got java.io.EOFException (Server closed connection while sending the HTTP header.): http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/

[donei]

How am I supposed to sneak on ECF while I'm at work if I can't use my iPhone?

 

[applefr3ak]

u know it

 

[GotiT]

They are banning Safari i switched the user agent in safari to firefox 3.0 mac and now will allow safari on, switched it back to default and kicked off server, back to firefox user agent back on.

 

[GotiT]

Oh yah you have to enable the developer tools in safari to switch the user agent to firefox.

Mac Firefox 3.5 is solid. If possible, you should transition to it anyway.

Crazy talk!

 

[JustPuffin]

Hey guys, we are aware of this but we have to wait till SJ gets back.
Sorry for the hassle.

Exit safari

Exit safari, open terminal window, issue command "defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu 1" without the quotes. Restart safari in the new Develop menu switch the user agent to firefox 3.0 mac. Your in.

My experience was I couldn't post to the forum because it always thought my entries were less than 10 characters. There are deeper compatibility issues here it would seem.
