DVC Website Down Hard?

[BCVBRUCE]

I just logged on to the DVC website. However, 99% of the links are not working, making it impossible to navigate the site.

I have three different browsers and all are exhibiting the exact same problems. I am using a mac, but that has never caused problems before.(Please, no computer wars. LOL)

I thought I saw a post about DVC website troubles a couple of days ago but I could not locate it. Sorry for the repeat.

Anyone else noticing this?

Thanks,
Bruce

I haven't had any problems with the site, but I'm running Win98se. Most folks with problems do seem to have Macs.

Hey, thanks. Hopefully that is not the case. If it is, I wonder what DVC website has done to cause this?

I can not even contact them via the "Contact Us" link on the DVC website. I guess I will have to call.

Would the hurricane have anything to do with this? If so, I may just leave them alone for a while until everything stabilizes. I have absolutely no idea were their servers are.

Anyone else? PC or mac.

Thanks,
Bruce

Everything works for me (PC/XP Pro)

Sorry you're having problems, hope you get it resolved quickly!

Mac user here - can't use the links - they asked me to do a survey at the end of my browse on which they unfortunately rated "very disappointing". A collegue of mine who designs web pages says that most low end web designers do not even test their sites with a mac, foolish when more than 10% of computer users have them. I wouldn't have thought of DVC as low end though. Hopefully someone with both a mac and a pc will alert them of the problem and they will fix it soon.

BTW - could some helpful person forward me the htm page address with the VWL room plans? Thanks in advance!

I've noticed it's broken when using Netscape. IE seems to work fine.

I just posted in another thread, relating to this issue, that I was going to alert MS via the DVC website "Contact Us" on my PC at work. I will include in my notification a link to these discussions. Perhaps they will understand that more than one person is affected and that the problem is not on the users end.

I still urge eveyone else, who is affected, to notify MS however they can.

I hate to disagree, but I'm fairly certain that there are at least 20 or 30 mac users out there ....

I think he meant percent. I agree it's nuts to only test for IE or IE plus Netscape on Windows. It really sets everyone up since most viruses, etc are written for this exact scenario.

I called today and apparently a number of others did also. Tech support, and I use the term loosely, said the programmers made changes a couple of days ago and that's when the problems started, tell me something I don't know. Apparently the true tech people are in CA and certain CM at MS must relay the info to them. The person I talked to said to expect it to be fixed in a couple of days but I'd bet against that one.

Problems on DVC site here also.
Anyone out there an AP holder? When I try to enter my AP number on the general Disney site it keeps giving me a message that it is incorrect. It is NOT incorrect. This is also a new problem for me. I would like to know whether any other folks having trouble on the DVC site are having trouble with the Disney site as well.

I just went through the site without any problems at all. I tried almost every link, and had no problems.

No problems here... PC running Windows ME

How many more than 10 computer users have them?

Even though I'm stuck in the WIntel world, I would have guessed there are atleast 123 MAC users.


Back on track, even from a Windows world the DVC website is pretty disappointing!

Oops!
Come-on, you know I meant 10%!
It's like the bell curve with the brightest 10% on the exam!

I still can't even log on!

On this past wednesday I got my Club ID# & my PIN number from MS over the phone. I then tried to log on, no luck - got the message that my Club ID # was incorrect. I called MS back and they couldn't log on using my numbers either. They told me that they would email 'tech support' and that they would call me in a few days - the CM said there have been "a few" people with this problem.

I have not yet heard from MS, or be able to log in

Fail to hire competent web designers.

Everyone,

I am now at work and have confirmed what we already knew, that the problem is definitely a mac issue.

I have contacted MS via email and have included links to these discussions.

I hope this is fixed soon.

Have Fun,
Bruce

Bruce,
Thanks for taking the lead on this. Unfortunately I am on a Mac at work, running 10.2.8, and I can't get through to tech support from here either!
