A new look and feel was unveiled for Dilbert.com
You’d think that people would be delighted, but the opposite is the case.
Why?
Well whoever is responsible for the screwup that is the new site seems to be living in the past.
The new Flash animations are simple Flash. There’s no reason why they wouldn’t work in most browsers on most platforms, but if you visit the animation section using Linux you get a lovely message:
Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP Media Center 2005, Mac OSX 10.3 or Mac OSX 10.4 is required to view this page
So you grab yourself a copy of the UserAgent Switcher extension for Firefox and “spoof” a “supported” browser. And of course the entire thing then works fine.
Doh!
