Do you visit BFP from work?

Gaige · 10-27-2010, 07:38 PM

I access this site from work using my phone. I use the work computer for work only. I can access everything on this site with my phone except the chatroom. Whenever I try to get into the chatroom I get a message saying I need to download Java. I'm pretty sure I already have Java on my phone. Anyone one else have this problem accessing the chat with your phone. I'm using a Droid X btw. Would appreciate any tips you can supply. thanks

Nope, not ever. There are certainly corporate policies in place that say this site, due to content, would be a no-go. They will overlook sites like CNN, ESPN and even Amazon but a social interaction type website or any site that might have the chance of something that could be viewed as pornographic is, as a general rule, off limits in any major corporation. I can access the site from my iPhone but I just kind of don't think its right to access it at work; it just feels wrong and for me personally, that is kind of a litmus test I use. If it feels wrong, the odds are it generally is. I am a manager in my company and its just best for me that I not deviate from what I know would be unacceptable. The benefit - risk ratio just isn't there. I'll catch up with everything when I get home or want to check in on my phone. It works for me.

I have a Droid as well, I tried to enter chat and it said I needed java so I hit the provided link to download it. Got to the java site and hit the free download button and got ... device not supported. So I guess using the Droid to go into the chat room is not an option at this time.
