Demand that browsers accept your language! IDN.com should be respected by all!

[brianluedke]

Forget about email functionality, we had to wait years and years just to get Web pages to display at all in the IDN.com scripts. Some browsers, such as Firefox, think even that was too much. Try typing in an IDN.com in Firefox - it turns a beautiful domain name into unrecognizable mush.

Join me in demanding that Firefox properly display IDN.com . Write your own letter by following the link below. My letter appears at the bottom.

I just realized that Firefox does not allow me to type in my IDN.com Web addresses - it changes the domain to some unrecognizable code. How could you be so America-centric that you don't allow users of foreign languages to type in their own domains? Several years ago, you may have been justified, with registrants able to create confusing mixes of Russian and Roman characters - but that practice is no longer allowed. So why continue to enforce this obsolete ban on foreign domains? I will be switching to I.E. or Safari.

The default mode should show IDN.com properly, as it does with I.E. and Safari.

We want to be credible for the great bulk of users, not just the tech savvy minority.

Now comes the news that new security structures have been added to the Internet. Phishing is now impossible using IDN.com.

No more excuses!
