School Closings: Site Not Available and browser message limit online notices
User access to online school closings notices encountered two clear messages on affected pages: a page titled "Site Not Available" and a separate notice headlined "Your browser is not supported. " The interruption matters because the visible messages state the site was built to take advantage of the latest technology to make it faster and easier to use, while also asking readers to download compatible browsers.
Site Not Available message appears on an affected page
A page surfaced with the title "Site Not Available. " The presence of that exact title is the sole content shown on that page in the provided material.
"Your browser is not supported" headline and recommended action
Another page displayed the headline "Your browser is not supported. " That notice states the site "wants to ensure the best experience for all of our readers, " and explains the site was "built to take advantage of the latest technology, " language that says the redesign was intended to make the site "faster and easier to use. " The same notice includes the sentence "Unfortunately, your browser is not supported. " It closes by asking readers to "Please download one of these browsers for the best experience on the site, " an explicit prompt to change or update browsers.
School Closings information and visible site messaging
Where school closings notices are typically sought, visitors instead encountered the two messages: one labeled "Site Not Available" and the other declaring "Your browser is not supported. " The browser notice repeats that the site was built to take advantage of the latest technology and to be "faster and easier to use, " then advises users to download compatible browsers for the best experience.
What the public-facing text conveys about the experience
Both messages are short and specific: one presents only the header "Site Not Available, " while the other sets out a brief rationale and a direct next step for users. The browser notice emphasizes ensuring "the best experience for all of our readers, " frames the redesign as a move to newer technology, and explicitly states the browser in use is "not supported. " The recommended remedy is to "download one of these browsers for the best experience on the site. "
Next steps signaled by the notices
The visible guidance in the browser notice is limited to asking users to download an alternative browser. Beyond that prompt, the provided material contains no further instructions, timing, or details about which browsers are recommended, and it is unclear in the provided context whether an alternate access method was offered.
