I sold an iMac/500mHz with a fresh 10.4.11 to a PC user who swore he'd used the Mac OS before and now he's certain I've sold him a doorstop because he can't get into the 'new' facebook site. The guy is an IM junkie with at minimum five different services. Before he took the computer a month ago, I loaded all the individual apps he requested (with him present as we accessed them all individually and en masse) plus Adium to handle them all in one app if he chose. Now, a month later, he can't access the 'new' Facebook which apparently has its own IM service and does 'something' with photos. Their website doesn't appear to have any sort of FAQ for requirements -- and I've just spent the last hour frustrated on the phone with the guy. He can't live without his facebook messaging -- all the other services are working, the 'new' facebook was even working a week ago but now he can't access. I had him download and install Firefox on the off-chance Safari was the problem, and he still can't access the 'new' site.
I'm not a facebook user so could use some help from someone who is. Is there a requirement with the 'new' facebook that would stop a G3 with the updated Safari/Firefox for 10.4.11, on a DSL line, from connecting to their service? I really don't want to have to leave my warm little abode to trek "30 miles all uphill through 10 feet of ice and snow, in the middle of a blizzard, wearing only threadbare socks" if a simple phone call would suffice. He's behind an ISP firewall so I can't remotely connect to his computer and can't remember the website that might make that possible... connect2me or somesuch.
