I'm trying to get on HROwen's website and can't get in as it says I need Macromedia Flash 5 download. I click on their link to get it, but they only do Flash 6 now, obviously. After downloading and installing I STILL can't get on their bleedin site. My computer is going out the fackin window right now!!

At the risk of encurring your rath, I assume they don't offer a flash free alternative?

Websites made entirely in flash/shockwave are cack..

To construct such a site displays a fundamental lack of clue about what the web's all about..

But since you need Flash to run a site with any Flash content at all, you might as well do the whole site in Flash? I don't have an opinion here, I'd just like you to flesh out that last assertion.

I don't bloody care

Flush sucks!

Nissan, by the way, have come up with the most god awful website I've ever used - all thanks to the wonderful 'ooh - we must use this feature for something' factor.

Advise them you are buying from a competing garage due to their crap website.

Have to agree on the Nissan site, but as they only have one car worth looking at you could try this alternative www.my350z.com it will be mine, oh yes !

Audi had an all flash site about 5 years ago.

Looked lovely, but what a pain in the arse to load up.

It is indicative of lazy coding I'll say that much but as most of the browsing is done on Windows most browsers have the plugin.

I tend to write my website in vim personally.

That's probably why it sucks royally, but my phone can read it.
