When I logged in my my number, logged out and then logged in with my wife's number the system flipped between both accounts - part mine and part my wife's. It seems it can't tell the difference between accounts. Serious security issue if you log in anywhere other than your own computer. I sent an e mail to Delta.

The page you are seeing from the previous login session are from your local browser cache. If you click refresh you will then see the correct data for the account you are currently logged in under.

Why is it different from before? Delta's coders have failed to set the data driven pages not to cache on the browser which frankly doesn't inspire confidence in their capabilities or in the pre-launch testing!

No Mac Support?!
 
Unfortunately, the only two browsers offficially supported by the new website are IT and Netscape 7.2 :mad: Hasn't the Delta IT Department even HEARD of Macintosh and the Safari browser? Further, what about Firefox? Don't the ever read the WSJ or NYT? :rolleyes:

This is a major issue with many people, especially middle-aged passengers.

Agreed. I don't yet think of myself as middle-aged, and I'm working with a 21" flat panel monitor. What were they thinking with these choices?

I'm using Firefox and have encountered no problems. Have gone back and forth between accounts and all itineraries. So far so good but then I have not attempted to make a reservation yet.

I'm using Firefox 1.0.6, and I have yet to experience any problem on the site. My Skymiles login is still there and working.
But for god's sake Delta: Since you updated your website, then why the hell did you not update the airport maps? In some cases I feel like 1998, particularly FRA. Plus, route maps are still old-school, and plane seatmaps are not that great either, not to mention that DL hasn't operate any EMB-120s in years. Time to go to site feedback.
@DeltaRIC, you might wanna try this link:

I've been using Mozilla for quite some time (currently, ver 1.7.7).

I didn't experience any problems when booking a NYC-SFO RT earlier today.

Also, when I came back a bit later....only my Skymiles # was remembered.....not my PIN #. :)

So far, I am quite satisfied with the new website.

On my Macintosh computer running Mac OS X, I am able to use www.delta.com with no problem using Netscape 7.02 and Internet Explorer 5.2, but www.delta.com is completely useless when using the Safari browser.

Canarsie...that's odd. I'm running a Mac G-5 with OS X 10.4.2 (Tiger).
I can access and navigate Delta's new website with all three of my browsers:

Firefox 1.0.4, IE 5.2 and Safari 2.0.

Wonder what's happening here?? Maybe Tiger fixes some of these compatibility issues.

I totally agree the font size and contrast are far worse than on the old website and my eyes aren't too bad. They definitely should tweak these things. Other than that, I was able to navigate the site pretty easily using Internet Explorer 6.0.... Of course, I wasn't having much trouble with the previous site either.

Now, work on those fonts DAL.

I am using Safari 1.0.3 on a Macintosh G4 with Mac OS X 10.2.8 (Jaguar).

I guess it is finally outdated, although I still have no problems using my Macintosh blue-and-white G3 (with a G4 third-party processor) and Netscape 7.0.2 browser...

Delta Website
 
I hope this is not a double-post. Did anyone see the new Delta.com website? Looks pretty cool.

I just logged in under my wife's account, then logged out, and immediately back in under mine and did not have the problem you were experiencing. I'm not sure what the difference is. I'm using Internet Explorer 6.0 and I never ask sites (including DAL) to remember my Sky Miles number, log-in ID, etc.

I like the new web site, but there is one thing missing that seems to be a serioius oversight. For something that Delta will want to trumpet as much as they will the website changes, you'd think they'd have some kind of promotion giving away a boatload of SkyMiles to anyone who checks it out. Where's the "Surfing for Skymiles" promotion??? ;)
