[f-nsp] Java on brocade.com web site

[Wilbur Smith]

Nick,
Sorry you are having a rough experience with our site. I’m a field SE, but
I can try to circle back with our web developers to see what we can do.

Can you point out exactly where on the brocade.co site you are seeing the
java applet try to load? Is this just the 360 photos?

We’re probably using a 3rd party plugin in our CMS system. Not an excuse,
but sometimes we don’t have eyes on what others are experiencing after we
upload data into the system.

Just for personal feedback, would you be ok with a flash plugin for a 360
view? In a perfect world we would use HTML5, but I’ll have to see what I
can do. 

Feel free to drop me a note at my brocade or personal email address:
wsmith at brocade.com or wilbur.k.smith at gmail.com

V/R

Wilbur
