[Michael Gabriel]

what a shame, the page even renders completly before you get their ie statement ...
any contact yet ?

Comment 3

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

Now redirects to

http://www.bsi.co.il/

and has the exact same behaviour as before, including the full render and immediate "please use IE" screen.

Idiots. I assume they never responded to the letter.

Blue Center have switched their website to mega.co.il, which contain at the main page footer information that they support Internet Explorer 6/7/8 and FireFox 2/3. 

They have confirmed to me in private email that they support Firefox, and the site will probably work with Firefox 3.6 as well. 

It has been reported on Twitter that their website doesn't work well with Safari, Chrome and Opera. 

Email for further questions - [e-mail], they responded to my question from the web contact form in less than an hour.
