I seem to be unable to load http://www.hbogo.com in SeaMonkey. All I get
is a spinning logo and the site never loads. I'm having no problem

http://www.hbo.com just shows a white screen in SM, but loads in Chrome
(at least on my computer...last week I had no problems). Anybody else
having this problem? Any ideas how to make it work in SM?
I'm running SM 2.10 on Win-7 Ult. I did an automatic install of a new
version of Shockwave Flash this morning...it's listed in Enabled plugins
as File: NPSWF32_3_300_257.DLL, Version: 11.3.300.257, Shockwave Flash
11.3 r300 . Could that be a problem?
Windows XP Home Edition SP3
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:13.0) Gecko/20120604 SeaMonkey/2.10
Flash 11.3 r300(257) (11.3.300.257)
It works for me. Is it possible you have FlashBlock enabled? When I
first go to <http://www.hbogo.com>, most of my browser window is filled
with a Flash presentation.
I doubt that I have FlashBlock enabled. How would I even know? In any
case, even though I install Flash, I can't get the Adobe test site to
play the animation with SM (again, it plays fine in Chrome.)
Have you tried going to <http://www.hbogo.com> in Safe Mode?
Yes, nothing is different.
When I go to <http://www.hbo.com> instead of <http://www.hbogo.com>, I
get redirected to
<http://www.hbo.com/html/error/browser_message_e.html?return=http://www.hbo.com/>,
which is a page with the following under the HBO logo:
The browser you are using is not recommended
It appears you are currently using SeaMonkey 2.10 which is not fully
supported by this site. To optimize your viewing experience, please view
HBO.com in one of the following browsers:
Internet Explorer 7.0+ - Get Latest
Firefox 4.0+ - Get Latest
Google Chrome 10.0+ - Get Latest
If you choose to continue viewing the website with your current
browser, you may encounter problems.
Don't prompt me to upgrade again.
Continue to HBO.com
The next-to-last line above has a checkbox. I had to type the last line
above manually; it's actually an image that is a link. When I selected
that link, I got the actual <http://www.hbo.com/>, again with a very
large Flash presentation.
Notice that HBO is still touting Firefox 4.0 and IE7!!
I don't get the error page initially. When I use your link to the error
page it says "It appears you are currently using Firefox 13.0 etc."
rather than SeaMonkey 2.10. And then when I click on the "Continue to
HBO.com" I still only get a white page.
When I spoof Firefox 13.0, I go directly to <http://www.hbo.com/>
without any redirection to
<http://www.hbo.com/html/error/browser_message_e.html?return=http://www.hbo.com/>.
That raises the question: Have you disabled "Advertise Firefox
compatibility" (as I have done)?
I have no idea what you mean. Obviously the site thinks I'm using
Firefox 13.0, which means that I probably haven't disabled "Advertise
Firefox compatibility".
For what it is worth, last week I had no problem accessing hbogo.com
with SeaMonkey. Now I can't even get the error page.
