bmw.ca seems to have been offline for a week or so. Anyone know what's up?

SGxi · 12-22-2008, 10:17 AM

It's working here...

Odd. I can get to the URL, but it tells me:

Did you try reload/refresh the page?

I've had problems at bmw.ca in the past using FireFox.

Try using IE.

Never - Firefox forever!

I browsed it yesterday using Firefox 3.0.5 and it works fine - if you consider all-Flash to be fine.

Try holding down the shift key and click on the refresh button (looks like a clock-wise arrow). This should force it to reload the page. You can also try deleting your browser cache: Tools - Options - Network - Offline Storage - Clear Now.

My friend introduced me to Google Chrome, it's awesome when it's compatible with the website.

Furnace · 12-23-2008, 12:46 PM

Nope, still nothing. Must be something here at work. I'll have to try it at home, but judging from your screen shots and comments, it works fine.

Times are tough for BMW, they probably laid off the webmaster

Do you have the most updated version of Flash? BMW's website won't work on my iPhone. They have a detection script which detects what kind of settings you are running and if you fail, they'll redirect you to a failure page.

It's either Flash, or maybe you have JavaScript turned off, or maybe cookies turned off.

Works fine here. Maybe you need to delete your cache/cookies.
