Flash login page

[oliverbock]

Is it still 2005? Do you really still need the cheesy Flash login screen? If the answer is yes, could you make it so it understands that ENTER means I want to log in?

I don't see what the problem is. The flash is lightweight (about 100kb). A 56k modem will load it in seconds.

I've tested the login with numerous accounts and it all seems to work fine. Perhaps try clearing the cache of your browser?

I can also confirm the hitting "Enter" does not register as though you clicked on "Login" (using both Chrome and IE).

Also, I don't think the OP was concerned about size, but "chessiness". But to the OP: this question has been raised many times before and for better or worse, the Flash intro is here to stay.

You can, however, bookmark http://www.exetel.com.au/index_alt.php to overcomes both your concerns.

I'm looking into this.

Issue still present.

I'll also complain that the flash login page doesn't work with any password safe programs - the ones that allow you to store super secure password and automatically fill in login credentials if you know the master password.

I'm also amazed that an Internet company whose only presence is on the web has a home page that doesn't even say what the company does. If it wasn't for knowing different from being a customer, I would have said that Exetel was a wildlife rescue service run by Australian Geographic.

This subject has become a dead horse by now, and is not worth starting up again. These things were raised at length when the Flash page was introduced. Exetel did the right thing by those of us with strong reservations about Flash (including me), and provided an alternative all-html home page at http://www.exetel.com.au/index_alt.php. My details are handled by Opera's "wand" (html form filler) and also by my secure keyring.

The emblems for "awards" varies from time to time. As to the lack of an indication of what the business is about, that seems to be de rigeur for Flash sites at the moment.

Does it matter that much if enter doesn't work to log in? I mean half the time attempting to log in doesn't work anyway

Seriously though, I also find it frustrating that it doesn't work when you press enter - I often sit for about 10-15 seconds for even noticing nothing's happening.

Let me see if we can enable that feature so you can just enter username / password >>> Hit enter BANG your inside member facility

As per the discussions I had with the developer team.. This can be done.

But since this is not a major issue (just an improvement) This will be looked in to when the next Website functionality checks takes place.
