My backup seatmap tool is still running fine.

Please use it until Ben's site is back up.

The times and date on the seat map are wrong. Look up a flight and then look at the time. Example:
It reads:
Flight 261 From Las Vegas (LAS) to Atlanta (ATL)
Departs 123AM 15MAR, Arrives 124AM 15MAR, 0 Stop
But on 'My Itineraries' on delta.com it correctly reads:
Flight 261 From Las Vegas (LAS) to Atlanta (ATL)
Departs 12:30AM 15MAR, Arrives 7:07AM 15MAR, 1 Stop
It reads:
Flight 261 From Las Vegas (LAS) to Atlanta (ATL)
Departs 123AM 15MAR, Arrives 124AM 15MAR, 0 Stop
But on 'My Itineraries' on delta.com it correctly reads:
Flight 261 From Las Vegas (LAS) to Atlanta (ATL)
Departs 12:30AM 15MAR, Arrives 7:07AM 15MAR, 1 Stop

Yep, I tried the "backup" and got the exact same results as you. 
But the problem is I'm not just interested in the seat maps. I'd like to see the fare bucket availability. (Like Ben's Availability tool gave. ^ ) It seemed like it worked for me until late Jan, or early Feb. Then I got busy and didn't use it for a few weeks. Now it seems to be gone for good. I honestly hope not. It was a great tool with the only disadvantage being the up/down-time.
If anyone (Ben?) knows what the specific problem is and/or can let us know if/when this tool will be back, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx

I could have easily confused it becuase there are links to Ben Edelman's pages within the tool.
Regardless of whose it is, will it be fixed? If not, is there another tool that shows fare bucket availability?

Now when you click a seat map from your itinerary the itinerary system knows your departure and arrival time hence these will be displayed correctly. I hope this explains the issue a bit

Post SP2 problem accessing DL seat charts on Edelman site
Ever since installing SP2 on my computer I've gotten security alerts whenever I've tried to pull up the seat charts for DL flights on Ben Edelman's helpful site.
It's never been a problem (I just "allow") until last night: everytime I tried to look at seats, and after dealing with the alerts, I would just get an error message on the Edelman page. (Also, something odd was happening to the URL in the alert boxes.)
Has anyone else had this kind of problem? If so, have you any clue as to what's going on?

I noticed a problem 2 days ago. IE is blocking the cookies to delta.com when you view Edelman's site. You should see a red eye at the bottom of your IE window. Double click it and it should show cookies to delta.com are blocked. Select one line and click the summary button. It will let you "allow" cookies from delta.com.
