Not to quibble but, With firebird it didn't load, and flash IS
installed.
IE does not and has never been installed.

Well yes it is, they claim it's optimized for IE on the one page they
always sent me to.
Firebird will load the proper page if javascript is disabled, but then
none of the pictures can be viewed since it's only done through JS.

Whatever happened to the idea of making a website viewable by just about
any browser so the majority of people can see it?

Sorry but in my opinion once you've hung a "best viewed with" or
"optimized for" notice on your site, you've admitted it's crap and/or
you know *** all about good design.
