I'm wanting to get a photo calendar printed for Christmas. I'd normally use photobox, but this year I'm boycotting them for having a crappy website that doesn't work with opera - doesn't even let you log on.

Photobox's answer was

"Our website is compatible with IE7 or higher, Firefox, Chrome. You may try any of those browsers, which use newer Internet technologies."

Hah!

Anyway, suitable alternatives. I'm more concerned with quality than price.

lol. "Boo! Your website doesn't work with my obscure browser, so I'm boycotting you!". Feel the nerd rage 😀

Can Opera display this?

Masking as firefox or IE doesn't work.

I always wonder how much the stats are skewed by having to mask as firefox or internet explorer to view crappy websites 🙂

Either way. IE is utter guff.

Just bite the bullet and use a diff browser for photobox as it is one of the best photo gift sites. Incidentally I use Opera to do my Tesco shopping as their website does not always play nice with my usual browser Safari.

I refuse to download a new browser for a site I rarely use.

My 5 year old laptop seems to be allergic to firefox anyway

I thought it was a really bad site...took ages to get my order through...very very slow...didn't recognise offer codes...(repeat process and suddenly it works)...

Snapfish was quicker (but not as many options perhaps)...I'd try Snapfish again
