GoDaddy Sends Safari And Opera Users To Nowhere?
from the gone-baby-gone dept
Not quite sure what's going on, but Slashdot points to a story claiming that Opera and Safari users who visit sites hosted on GoDaddy that use their domain forwarding service are being sent to blank pages instead. There's some talk back and forth about whose fault it is -- and GoDaddy is basically blaming an un-named vendor (the story says Apple, but a bunch of people have said that's not the problem, though, the name Cisco is mentioned as a possibility). The sites still work in IE or Firefox. Still, the odd thing is that this has apparently been going on for quite some time (nearly two weeks) and has yet to be fixed. You would think that, whoever is at fault, they would be able to fix it by now.

Probably another pathetic attempt at forcing users to use IE, or other big named browsers.
I care not as long as Firefox works with such domains.

How Can Opera Users Tell There's a Problem
Opera sucks so much, how did the Opera users find out there was a problem?

thanks mike!
Thanks for posting this!
This issue went on for weeks but within hours of being on Slashdot, GoDaddy fixed the problem. After Slashdot exposure they quickly fell off the "blame Apple" bandwagon but still aren't accepting even partial responsibility and instead blame a vendor. Regardless, I'm just glad it is finally fixed.
So at least it is working but I'll probably be switching registrars as soon as I can afford the transfer fees.
By the way, all those who said GoDaddy was not blaming Apple were dead wrong. That's all they did for weeks when those of us experiencing the problem with our hosted domains contacted support. Here is just one example:
