VerizonWireless Web Site is a Shame

Verizon Wireless! Shame on You!!!
Fire your IT Manager and your Web designers - those **bleep** who are making our experience on your web site so miserable.
It's a disgrace to have such a web site as a window to your customers. It's an insult to all of us.
1. You seem to be running your site on a dingy server that does not keep up with the load - it is toooo s l o w w w w w.
2. The way you designed your home page SUCKS!
    - too cluttered
    - too busy
    - cannot navigate without going over land mines that we don't need (javascript onmouseovers) - **bleep**
3. Your database backend connection, DB queries to our plans, phones, bills etc.. and presentation services ARE VERY SLOW - not suited for a business like yours.
Shame on you for making our life miserable.

Verizon Website is just the worst and its is NOT getting better, and don't ask me what internet browser I'm using, I have a new computer with it being 75% free, and I use both Explore, new version and Mozilla Firefox, new version and it sucks on both of them, also do not tell me about clearing my cookies or any of that, I do a once a week (complete) Norton 360 Scan of whole computer and then do a Defrag and Disk Clean Up I Defrag 4 times, I also make sure I no more that 6 programs running at all times, and my computers updates are ALL CURRANT. I'm very computer literate. I, my sister, her 2 kids and all of there friends are having the same problem. So are you saying it's all of us? This site needs to be upgraded NOW!! I, my family and friends get updates to renew our Ringbacks, Ringtones, New stuff and so on... and choose to do it on the website VS a small phone, but most of the time we do not because this website is so slow, it gets hung up on all pages, re directs to another page, page errors, we don't bother because its so slow, and it just takes to much of our time. So Verizon you are loosing money.......Not only that your music selection is OLD, Ringtones and Ringbacks are OLD, you get stuff in way late. I have been a customer for 20 years or so, I have been with you when you where Airtouch, the service is getting worst and worst as the years go on. On Tech support I sometimes have to call back several times to get a Tech that actually knows what they are doing and NOT working with a SIMULATED PHONE, OR one that owns the phone them selves. I'm a business woman and I have complained about this for years and now Im just sick of it...........
Verizon Wireless is a TIME BANDIT, YOUR TIME THIEFS YOU ARE ROBBING PEOPLE OF THERE IMPORTANT TIME. In this ECONOMY, SHAME ON YOU!! Apparently you do not care about being EFFICENT AND PRODUCTIVE COMPANY!!

Why Is Verizonwireless's Web Site So Bad?

I wanted to send Verizonwireless a question about the overcharges on my bill but they don't have an online form for that. So I thought I would post it in a forum but they don't have a forum for overcharges. In addition, the web site kept asking me to create a new identity despite the fact that I alrady had one and was signed in with it. So I created a new identity but still cannot find anyway to communicate with their billing department other than snail mail.
I tried earlier to use their chat service but after I was connected and asked my question it went dead and then it said that all of their chat agents were busy and to try later.
It took an hour and a half talking to their technical support staff to get my new phone activated and it only gets one bar at 3G when my old phone gets three bars. It cannot connect to 4G even though I am in an LTE coverage area.
Please do not respond to this as I had to create a new identity to vent as I could not get a login prompt and will not be using this identity again.

As for the signal issue, do not rely on the number of bars, somewhere under Settings you can view your signal strength. Let us know what that is.
Honestly for billing, I would call. When you connect, just say AGENT. You will be asked why you are calling and you respond and will then be connected to billing.

Web site fit to screen

I apologise if this is an old (or stupid!) question, but is there anything I can do to make my web site automatically fit the size of the screen being used to view the site?
Hope someone is happy to help an iWeb apprentice. My web site is www.lloydventures.com
Cheers....Scotty

Guys,
thanks so much for the replies. Firstly, apologies for the incomplete link. I know the http:// is needed. Just a typo this time.
The menu is done using template at http://www.opencube.com. I just take the modified code and paste it into widget. I then do not use either of the iWeb navigation options. There are some great menu versions at Open Cube (oh, and its free!).
Wrt to the width I set my web site, when you have an Apple iMac, you just want to hope everyone else does too! I will make my pages smaller as suggested. Its just a shame there isn't a 'fit to screen' option although that is probably a bit ambitious.
Cheers guys and thanks again.

Need a topic for Verizon Web Site + Issues with Web site (please forward)

Suggestion 1: Add a topic/forum section for Verizon Web site: If I've missed it, please let me know, but I searched the forums and could not find results for "web site," except irrelevant references. Since I could not find one, here is. . .
Suggestion 2: Fix these Web site problems (can someone in Verizon forward these to your Web team? All attempts failed)
On Contact us page, Customer Service link leads to a 404, not found error
Fix faulty 'next page' link in Droid Reviews: When going from page 2 to page 3 of reviews using the 'next' link at the bottom, the reviews change from Droid Reviews to HTC Imagio reviews. Droid still shows at the top, but the content consistently shows that people are reviewing Imagios.
User names like IluvImagio and imagiouser
Features of Imagio are referenced
Bar at top shows 2000+ reviews and image of Droid; info for review section of page shows 300+ reviews
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/productReview?action=showAllReviews&phoneId=5069&item=phoneFirst&...
Suggestion 3: Fix faulty link for forum registration: When trying to register for the forum, I clicked on 'Register.' I got an error that my password and username were incorrect. I thought I'd misclicked, but I could reproduce this.
Cheers.

Hello Artemis51,
My apologies for the late reply on this one. Great feedback! I'll definitely add this to the list of registration issues that we're working on.

"Set Web Site Rule" window is annoying. how do i shut off this function it poped up more than a dozen times to connect to even this web site? then i had to click it another dozen plus times to get this site open !!!! ???

when ever i put in an address or click on a site a "Set Web Site Rule" window pops up asking if i want Firefox exe to allow some function to occur. it does not seem to be security related but rather simple functions. Step 1, step 2 , blah blah . "Set Web Site Rule" window is annoying. how do i shut off this function it popped up more than a dozen times to connect to even this web site? then i had to click it another dozen plus times to get the next mozilla site open !!!! ??? if firefox does not know what it is doing how can i??????
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== i am just setting up this pc how ever i down loaded the most recent version 3.6.3

by submiter - self solved: (thanks for the psychic help)
seems the problem was not with Firefox itself. Rather it seemed to have been an ad-blocker program called "WebMonitor" . i began by deleting Firefox and then opened Explorer (which i seldom do) and the same thing began to happen with MSN. So i
began deleting anti-virus programs till i came to the above mentioned freeware ad blocker "WebMonitor". it is a shame because i uised to have a program that blocked all ads on a web site which was such a relief to me.

Bad Bad web site

The other discussion on poor web site design was locked, so I'll just start a new one.
Each time I log on to the web site I am impressed by just how poorly designed and executed this site is. It's remarkable to me that a company like Verizon has a web site that is so hard to navigate, so poorly planned for real-life use, and so reprehensibly designed for accessibility.
While web capabilities continue to expand, companies should know better than to design their web sites as though they were World Wide Web showcases. I'm fortunate to have an up-to-date computer, but even for me, the web site drags and hangs. In older browsers, the site is quite impossible. The pop-up ads grind to a halt. The drop-down nav menus appear with no hover delay AT ALL and block page content, but disappear when you need to click on them. The attempt to squish every available bit of information onto a page could give a person epileptic fits.
I'm sure the web designers are skilled and capable, but this is not the forum for showing off how baroque they can make the site; this is not the place to show people their knowledge of the most complicated programming. What you guys need is a UX expert - one focused on use, not on employing the latest HTML5/CSS capabilities just 'cuz you can.
Keep. It. Simple.
For heaven's sake.

Both the Verizonwireless.com site and the community forum site has been redesigned a few times since the original post in the discussion you linked. What specific problems are you having with the site? Maybe those of us customers on the forum who know where things can be found quickly can help you with your task.

Safari doesn't open certain web sites

Hi there,
I'm a web designer working on a new site. My clients say that their Mac which is running Safari 5.1.5 won't open their web site which is: http://www.adventuress.us
I've asked about 5 other people to see if they could open it up on a mac using Safari. So far, everyone can open it except for my client.
Can you help me troubleshoot this? The site is created with wordpress. It's not redirecting.
I'm really not sure which Mac they have or their operating system. I just chose two so that I could submit this ticket.
What in the world would stop them from being able to see the site? They can go to other sites.
Thanks.

Hi...
What in the world would stop them from being able to see the site?
Ask if they have anti virus software installed ..
It would help to know for sure which Mac OS X they have installed. Click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen. From the drop down menu click: About This Mac.
I'm running Lion v10.7.3 with Safari 5.1.5 on one Mac without any problems loading that site. Same with another Mac running Snow Leopard v10.6.8.
I am using OpenDNS which may help your client and is suggested by Apple > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, blocks the flashback trojan, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
Quit then relaunch Safari. Try that site.

My hard drive crashed recently and i can no longer see my web site address in the iWeb side bar

I can n o longer see my web site address in the iweb side bar, how can I relocate it so i can edit my website

Let me start with the general advise...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Can not open a particular web site

Hi, I always tried to open one web site and it used to open well in Firefox and IE. but since last few days it stopped opening both in FF and IE. It gives error as
1. The connection has timed out The server at www.eng-tips.com is taking too long to respond.
2.If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
3.If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I Google with all above questions and tried most of the solutions, nothing works. Wondering why it stooped opening suddenly ? I tried to open it from other locations just to check if its down but its fine and working but can not open from my home internet. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Did you [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Error%20loading%20web%20sites#w_try-clearing-firefoxs-cookies-and-cache Try clearing Firefox's cookies and cache] ?

Errors on my web site started with Flash Player Release a few days ago (Mar 28, 2012)

Hi,
I have a Flash based video player on my website. This was designed and implemented based on an article vy Lisa Larson-Kelley. It has run flawlessly for several years. But, when I installed the lastest release of Flash Player a fedw days ago (Mar 28, 2012), I am now getting really annoying issues with the Flash Video Player.
I expect that I will need to place insturctions for users on how to roll back their version of Flash Player, since this latest version is broken.
But, many of the people who visit my site are not tech oriented (they are mostly friends and family, so, I don't expect that they will really roll back their version of Flash player.
I am 100% certain the issue is the latest version of Flash, since these errors never occurred until I installed the latest version.
On my work laptop, I have an older version of Flas (10.x.x) and this probelm does not happen. On my desktop PC at home, I have an older version of Flash 11 installed, and this problem does not happen (in IE9). The version of Flash PLayer 11 where the issue does *not* occur is 11.1.102.63.
On that same desktop PC, if I use Chrome, (which automatically defaults to the latest version of Flash which is 11.2.202.228, I get the problems. So, there is no question that the issue is with the latest version of Flash and not my hardware or drivers. I get the same problems on three different computers.
My website has a username and password. If someone from Adobe wants to replicate the problem send me an e-mail and I will send you the username and password.
The videoplayer on my website is at this url: http://www.jjjhi.com/TryMakingFlashVidPlayer/VideoPlaylist.html (but, you will need the username and password).
The issue is that sometimes (not always) when you select a video to play, inistead of the video loading into the panel as it should (sized as 1025 x 578), instead, all you see is the control skin. The video begins to play, but all you get is the audio. It looks like this:
You can recover from this error by using the skin control to make the image full screen, but, the video looks poor at fulls screen, because it is created at 1024 x 578. You can then get the correct size by returning from full screen, but, I don't want the pepole who visit my cif\deo playet to have to go all through that. Especially since most won't even know enough to try making the video full screen.
This doesn't happen for every video on my web site, but, once it *does* happen once...it will happen for every video selection you make.
This is unacceptable, and it absolutely a function of Flash version 11.2.202.228.
Adobe: Please fix this bug as soon as possible.
I've implemented an HTML5 based video player and have begun populating it with mp4 versions of my video clips, but, quite honestly, the playback using HTML5 is much worse than with Flash. I encoded the clips in the HTML5 player with the same Variable Bit Rates as in the F4V clips, and, in the HTML5 player, there are missed frames, and the audio can get out of sync. So, I *want* to keep using my Flash Based video player, but...if Adobe doesn;t fix this, I will just dial down my VBR till I find one that is slow enough to play in HTML5 and ditch Flash.
My HTML5 video player is here:
http://www.jjjhi.com/TryMakingNewVideoPlayer/NewVidPlayer_option1_jth.html
(again you need the username and password to use it, send me an e-mail and I will give them to you, I just don't want to post them in an open forum).
Here is a bitmap of the page: It is quite snazzy looking and is based on an excellent class from Chris Converse at Lynda.com. But, even though it is 'snazzy looking' the HTML5 player performs poorly on an under-powered machine (like my work laptop). It uses 100% CPU and misses frames and the audio loses sync. The same videos encoded with the same VBR for Flash (F4V) play great, *except for the new issue described above!!!!)
I Adobe can fix this issue with Flash Player 11.2.202.228 ASAP, else, I will have to 'downgrade' to an HTML5 based video player, that, quite honestly does not perform as well as Flash.
If you want to reproduce the problem contact me at my e-mail address: [email protected] and I'll send you the username and password.
You can then prove that the problem does not exist with prior version of Flash player (before 11.2.202.228) but *does* exist with this latest buggy release.
Thanks,
John

Thanks.
I sent the username and PW to you and Chris.
Cheers,
John

After installing FireFox 17 I can no longer log on to the video web site VUDU I tried the reset and it didn't worrk now what do I do?

I was using Firefox 15 but kept getting messages to update to Firefox 17 so I did and now I cannot log into my account at VUDU.com. Which by the way is the only web site I have this problem with. It never happened with ver. 15 and only started to deny access in the past week. So why is the question of the day. What did you guys screw up with ver 17?

Using hardware acceleration means that Firefox uses the GPU instead of the CPU to do some (image) manipulations and you may not notice any effect in Firefox if you disable hardware acceleration.<br />

How to build a Oracle style Web site

Dear All,
(Not sure whether this question should be this sub-site or not.)
My question is how to build a Oracle style Web site, what technology should be use.

What's the difference between a web site and a web application?

I'm stumped trying to come up to a difference between a web site and a web application for myself. As I see it, a web site points to a specific page and a web application is more of some sort of 'portal' to content and information.
But where I'm stuck is that a web application is still viewed through a browser (is it not?) and a web site can still view content dynamically, making the line between web site and application prety gray.
For instance, does a web site using ASP.NET or AJAX (I assume ASP.NET is AJAX's proprietary sibling, if not, ignore ASP.NET AND concentrate on the AJAX), becomes a web application because it can retrieve data dynamically and asynchronously or would a website
using PHP and a CMS be more of a web application because it forms the pages on request, based on the request of the client and its content in its databse?
Or maybe I'm totally wrong here - what differenciates between a web application and a website?

This is totally personal and subjective, but I'd say that a website is defined by its content, while a webapplication is
defined by its interaction with the user. That is, a website can plausibly consist of a static content repository that's dealt out to all visitors, while a web application depends on interaction and requires programmatic user input and data processing.
For example, a news site would be a "website", but a spreadsheet or a collaborative calendar would be web "applications". The news site shows essentially the same information to all visitors, while the calendar processes individual data.
Practically, most websites with quickly changing content will also rely on a sophisticated programmatic (and/or database) backend, but at least in principle they're only defined by their output. The web application on the other hand is essentially a program that
runs remotely, and it depends fundamentally on a processing and a data storage backend.

There is no real "difference". Web site is a more anachronistic term that exists from the early days of
the internet where the notion of a dynamic application that can respond to user input was much more limited and much less common. Commercial websites started out largely as interactive brochures (with the notable exception of hotel/airline reservation sites).
Over time their functionality (and the supporting technologies) became more and more responsive and the line between an application that you install on your computer and one that exists in the cloud became more and more blurred.
If you're just looking to express yourself clearly when speaking about what you're building, I would continue to describe something that is an interactive brochure or business card as a "web site" and something that actually *does something that feels
more like an application as a web app.
The most basic distinction would be if a website has a supporting database that stores user data and modifies what the user sees based on some user specified criteria, then it's probably an app of some sort (although I would be reluctant to describe Amazon.com
as a web app, even though it has a lot of very user-specific functionality). If, on the other hand, it is mostly static .html files that link to one another, I would call that a web site.
Most often, these days, a web app will have a large portion of its functionality written in something that runs on the client (doing much of the processing in either javascript or actionscript, depending on how its implemented) and reaches back through some
http process to the server for supporting data. The user doesn't move from page to page as much and experiences whatever they're going to experience on a single "page" that creates the app experience for them.
