Cakewalk Website inaccessible with Firefox 6.0

When I try to get on the Cakewalk Website or Forum from Mozilla Firefox 6.0 this is what I get:
 

Bad Request

---

HTTP Error 400. The request is badly formed.
 
 
 
With Internet Explorer 8 works fine.
 
Anyone encountered this? Or is there something wrong with my computer?

you could always use chrome, which isn't so problematic.

new firefox blocs malicious sites 

FF updates automatically here...I just don't use that dang thing on this site...Chrome works well here..

This is a Firefox unfriendly site based on this technology:
http://www.aspplayground.net/

There are ton of bugs with older versions of this web forums software. The version installed here is 3.5 (old). The latest version is 3.9 and version 4.0 is supposed to be out soon. So I would suggest to cakewalk to upgrade these forums to ASP Playground 3.9... And make sure the upgrade software updates the editor, it may be leaving it alone for some reason.

Then move towards transferring to DotNetNuke which is a far better website CMS platform (free and open source) and will run on the same servers (ASP.NET): http://www.dotnetnuke.com/

Anyway I have to use IE here as the editor just doesn't work in FF.


So anyway, go ahead, use Chrome, google will be happy to track your browsing habbits for you and stick scheduled tasks all over your OS without you asking, me - I'm sticking with FF for everything except this site.

PS does anybody ever get any forum email notifications here? Or is this just bait?

Thanks..

Just to prove my point:

Go here:

http://www.aspplayground.net/v3/

Log in as admin with password: admin - and you will see all will be working in firefox (including the editor). Cakewalk needs to update the forums software - they haven't.

OMG! When did the forums stop working with Firefox 6?! Why didn't someone say something sooner?!

I got a pop-up earlier tonight that said FF6.something was ready to install. I almost had a heart attack.

I used to get forum notifications, then for some reason they stopped coming through, so I just turned the option off. At first I thought nobody wuvved me anymore. *sNiFf SnIfF*

For me IE9 is just as frustrating.  Hangs on 98% of posts....no record to display very frequently...and very iffy moving between forums.  Sucks really.

FIrefox 3.16 and 5.0 work just fine here, fwiw Ol Pal.

  guess they haven't. See my quote of your post, relpomiraculous?

I've just installed Firefox 6.0.1. Still doesn't work - same error message.

Intenet Explorer is such a CRAP !!! I hate it!

And, YES, this forum doesn't work well either. The search engine is a huuge CRAP!!!

daryl1968 - I think you're just lucky. I've just upgraded to 6.0.1 and it's the same problem, no quoted message, and I'm betting this doesn't have a line break in it...


[Edit: (adding in some html br tags)]

Isn't it time someone put a sticky topic at the top of the page about this?

FF6 and FF6.01 has been working just fine with the forum here. It has to be something in your settings. I also have not had any problems with X1. Maybe I'm just lucky :)

Have you tried quoting a message?   That didn't work in 6.0 at all.

Exactly, it's the RADEditor that needs upgrading.... If Cakewalk upgrades to the latest forums software i.e. like http://www.aspplayground.net/v3/ The RadEditor should be upgraded along with it. /CASE CLOSED.

Well today I got a batch of email notifications for the first time ever from these forums..... so they finally kicked the mail server.... I hope Cake upgrades their forums now.
