Hip Hop uses firefox and keeps having to refresh to get out of downgrade display.

There was a thread on this a few days ago.

To quote Achronos,

When we upgraded the site recently, we updated to ASP.NET 2.0, the framework this site runs on. This allows us to do lots of cool things behind the scenes. However, one of the changes in ASP.NET 2.0 is that it detects browsers differently than the old ASP.NET 1.1 code did.

While we do test for such things, the problem you see is due to the fact that the only version of Firefox that is "officially" supported is the 1.5 Windows release. By "officially" supported I mean that we test to make sure it works. If you're running on Linux, that means that we didn't test your browser before releasing (we can only test so many browsers, and our Linux userbase is tiny). You probably could get the site to appear if you modified the User Agent string to match that of Firefox on Windows - that would probably look better than forcing it to be IE.

That all being said, I do agree that it is rather silly that it is blocking your browser. Bungie.net is meant to be open to as many browsers as possible. It is on the list of things to fix, but I'll admit the priority is rather low. The good news is that in the future, we'll be modifying our browser detection code substantially to better "bucket" your browser and be much less prone to dumping you into the downlevel display.


For future reference, website issues should be posted in the Septagon ('cause that's what it's there for).

Happened to me a few days ago...but only on some pages. I'm on a Mac so I quit using Firefox and switched back to Safari.

Yeah I get that completely randomly using FF.

But my god, these forums seem to have speeded up some. To me anyway. It usually took a good few seconds to refresh by clicking on the top banner, now it's instant.

It seems to have corrected itself or something. The night it occured was horrible.
Open a link in a new tab, downgraded. Refresh the page, 50% of the time it was still downgraded. Reply to a thread (which looks normal after 1-3 refreshes) get a down graded response page. Refresh 1-3, normal response page. Submit posts, downgraded thread.

Was a pain. I use 1.5 Windows as well.
