Barclays internet banking has stopped working
Hi I'm using r13571 and since the last makeover of the Barclays internet banking site, login fails just after the point where the pinsentry 2 x 4-digit random number has been entered; hitting return used to gain entry to the account home page, it now produces an 'Error 5. Internet banking is not available' message. Logging in on a js-enabled Firefox/WinPC is possible however, so the site does still work. Has anyone managed to do internet banking with Barclays using NetSurf? George -- george greenfield

There has been a lot about this on c.s.a.misc, and it seems that NetSurf can't access this site, as you say. Some people, not all, it seems, have got in using Fresco. It looks as if the days of doing internet banking with NetSurf are on the wane. With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter \ / zfc Hf \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.

As you say, Netsurf can't handle the new Barclays' site. However it does work fine with my Bank of Scotland account. A little slowly on this RPC but everything I've tried seems to work OK. Presumably Halifax clients should be OK as well, BoS and Halifax being connected. Maybe frustrated Barclays users should just jump ship? Cheers Alan [Snip] -- Alan Calder, Milton Keynes, UK.

You've got to log in to send a complaining email, so logging in successfully deprives this particular complaint of much, if not all, of its force: 'Well the thing is, I prefer to use my antiquated computer with its limited-functionality browser instead of a world-class browser on my shiny Win7 PC to do internet banking...'. You see my point. As to shifting to a NetSurf-friendly bank, how long is that likely to remain the case? The world and his dog seem to require javascript nowadays. George -- george greenfield
