Subway’s subwayfreshbuzz.com doesn’t work

August 5, 2008

Next Time test your stuff in Firefox before launching…. I can’t even navigate this site. Notice that Green bar behind Jared? Well that is supposed to be the navigation .. and it’s how it’s displayed on Firefox 3 … (click once on the image to the image page, click again to enlarge it)

Can\'t use this thing on Firefox

Can't use this thing on Firefox

Thanks for the subway contest there…. I can’t even get to the page to see if I won…

I am not quite sure who build this site, but whomever it was needs to learn how to test things…

Edit : In the comments below evidently it appears that Subway is actively blocking Linux Users from using the site…..and since I use Ubuntu Linux… of course I couldn’t view the site… evidently the only solution is the user-agent switcher…… Subway is off my menu. … also.. when I noted earlier that they should test in Firefox.. if this is true that Linux is what is banned.. then they shouldn’t test anything.. they should be fired… because that site CAN be coded to run on all major OS’s and all Major browsers… there is NO reason that Linux users should be banned.

    In order to use the subwayfreshbuzz website, I was instructed to disable my popup blocker. No way! Shame on Subway for setting up a site that asks me to do that in order to participate!

    If you’re on Linux, you need to change your browser’s user agent string to be able to start the game. Click my name for a link to the article.

    Well WTF -Their Agency should be canned if this is true… I have to change my user agent in Firefox in order to play the game…. Since when did websites start discriminating against Linux OS’s ?… that is such a crap solution I don’t even know where to start…. I’m dropping subway off my menu… they had to intentionally block Linux OS’s from their site… it’s not like ‘it’s a bug’ .. it’s something that has to be coded in….

    Hey….it doesn’t work for crap with IE either! All the ads and features seem to work but try to enter a code and see how fast it times out - I have only mangaged to get one code in and that was only for an R and the R was free to begin with! SO its not all Firefox’s fault!

    No where on the game piece, or the sandwhich wrapper, or the cup, or in the store, or on the website, does it tell you what word you have to spell, in an effort to win anything. Jared dropped brains along with waist size

    It’s sad that subway promotes these games to boost public participation, more sales means more profit! Once they have that what concern would they have for there promiss to customer satisfaction, plus I think Jarid has the largest mouth i’ve ever seen eating more than footlongs Jarid?

    I went to a subway in Lake forrest, Ca off mouton ave and ridge route twice. They took off the scrabble sticker so when you buy a sandwich there was the past sticker not the scrabble letter. I will not waste my money to buy a sandwich when Subway allows there employee to cheat the public.

    It did not work for me on FireFox, but it did work when I switched to Opera browser. I was able to play then and won 2 three month Pogo subscriptions. Just thoughts to pass along for those hitting the FireFox/Flash block issue. I do have the most recent flash player and I am using WindowsXP - but it still didn’t work for me on FireFox. So if you are having this trouble to - switch to Opera and it’ll likely work.

    I found that this game doesn’t work. I can’t find the site. Very disappointed in Subway. I am trying to give them the benefit of the doubt that they just didn’t get this game site up and running right?? And they will be fixing it ASAP??? I think and thought they were a better company than this.
