My post regarding Wells Fargo Financial’s “stone tablet and chisel” online bill pay technology was picked up by the Consumerist. Several commenters mentioned that they had encountered the same issues as I had when trying to log into their Wells Fargo Financial account. Many commenters suggested using various techniques to spoof the Wells Fargo “netscape-is-required” browser sniffer.

Ironically, my web site statistics showed several inbound visits from Wells Fargo IP addresses using web browsers that may or may not have been compatible with the Wells Fargo Financial online account access.

Well, here is where the power of blogging and user comments is revealed! The online account system is now compatible with Firefox and Safari!!! Hooray!

I would like to thank the following Wells Fargo employees (via their IP addresses) for making this change:
