the back button nonsense is ridiculous
why they built this in is beyond me - i can only assume that its becuase of the way the software is written - the other thing that really bugs we is all the different accounts and codes you need for web filing and the subscription service - why isnt there one for all services
Macs and annual returns
Same problem here - I now make sure I complete AR's in one go because the save function is broken for Mac users (I've tried Safari and Firefox, all latest versions). And yes - it's annoying to be admonished for something you haven't done - plus losing all the data you have already entered.
No other issues with Companies House website but it really is time we got away from the "it only works in IE syndrome"!
I'm a Mac user as well (since 1984)
Happily I have not had your problem. Have you not been able to re-enter the Filing Online system and choose the option to abandon the Return that you have already started filing, then re-start the process?
Also did you know that you can get Safari to pretend that it is another version of itself or another browser? Here is how
Same problem, didn't realise it was Mac specific
yes, I get the same problem, didn't realise it was Mac specific, but it doesn't cause me any problems ... having had the signal come up once, that was enough to alter the way I work. And I don't know of any workaround, rather than to do your CoHs online filing in one go, or else curse, go back to sign in screen, curse again, realise it's time for a large snifter of a ripe old single malt, praise the lord, take another even larger snifter, and then beam from ear to ear. This workaround, though not specific to just this problem, seems to work for just about everything.
Universal work-around
KH - must try your universal workaround next time I have an IT issue (fortunately doesn't happen very often on a Mac......)
Back button
I dont use Mac and still receive this stupid message from Companies HOuse and Barclays Bank using IE and firefox. In fact with Barclays I have received it so many times I could do real damage (in my dreams) to the idiot that put this in the system. It would seem to be a problem with receipt of data.
We all know that the internet is not perfect but this is not the way forward. Although I know nothing about programming, is it not possible to write code to prevent back key use appropriate websites.
Emulation, and using IE as your browser
Any Mac user can use emulation, but the problem is, you end up with a wonderful fantastic brilliant Mac acting and looking like its poor relative. Give me a large snifter of a 30-year old single malt anytime. And yes, if anybody wants to spend a few hundred quid, the Post Office stores in Constantine, near Falmouth in Cornwall, are worth a large detour ... never seen so many whiskies anywhere in the world, and not only that, loads of 30 and 50 year-olds. I'm now seriously starting to save ... for the first time ever. Constantine, here I come!
