Is it just me and my Mac, or has the portal turned to pants since it's upgrade.
I can't open up outstation info, swap to name but a few.
I have e-mailed the EGIT's but don't expect a lightening response, so a plea to some of the more computer literate geniuses out there.
Is there anything I can do my end to make it work. :ugh:

Buy a Windows PC?

It would appear that most of the links have been mis-coded, hence you can't get anywhere.

Maybe the IT guys were pushed into implementing something that wasn't ready, or that they thought was ready without having done a proper test phase.

BigGeordie.
Why should I be forced to buy a PC, because EK can't be arsed to sort out their IT department.

Had the same issue, so copy and pasted it to send an email to our IT guru's but interestingly enough when I clicked on the pasted address it opened another page and worked!

GArden I've sent you a PM with the address for tools etc, so the same format should work with everything else.

:ok:

Try the Puffin browser.

There's nothing wrong with the browser nor does a mac cause the issue, the problem is half the links are wrong and still pointed to internal addresses. Another high quality, well tested project..

My comment was tounge in cheek- there is absolutely no reason why the IT department of a company the size of EK shouldn't be able everything we need to work with Apple as well as Windows.

It is interesting that if you are trying to buy a ticket on emirates.com you can use any computer, any browser and any mobile system you want and it will still work.

Seriously lads, our IT department has 20 years of poor delivery history for PC. Why would you expect them to deliver a MAC friendly portal, when the only people who use Macs are a bunch of over-paid posers :\ :eek:

That doesn't even make sense.

Is it just me being hard of thinking.

There seems to be no portal at all now, is there any other way of accessing company email than through groupworld.

When do we get paid, need to go and buy a Mac.

Cheers Enos

Am I missing something (which would be my usual state of affairs) or is the portal unavailable on both the old and new addresses?

Try Puffin web browser. It's free on app store.

Photon is also good and allows you to surf using Flash or not, therefore not slowing everything else down.
