Apr 15, 2012 19:06:33 First time using it on a Mac, just re-signed up my subscription to DDI, simply for the character generator. it does not seem to be working and I'm wondering if that is because I am using safari. Any other mac users out there with a work around or perhaps can tell me if there is some simple thing I am missing?

I would suggest trying FireFox. I am on a Mac and that's what I'm using. I haven't been able to get it to work with Safari.

Hope that helps,

Monica

My home mac is a PowerPC and it will navigate the web site but I have not tried the CB. I do not know if the CB needs a certain version of Silverlight. PowerPC can only upgrade so far.

I'm using Safari. For some reason, after posting this thread, it started to work. Thanks for the feedback though.

I have no problems with my MacBook Pro. All of the D&DI utilities work fine for me. May seem silly, but are you suture you subscribed? When using PayPal to pay for a yearly subscription a few years ago, it took a couple of hours for my access to kick in.
