Vistana website & Safari

[celica7101]

When Apple MacOS released MacOS 26 this past fall, Safari stopped working with vistana.com after logging in to get to the dashboard. I am pretty sure that it is a lazy version number check, because it likely jumped from 15 => 26, and because when I change the USER-AGENT for the browser to pretend it's Chrome, then everything still works.

Anyone had any luck with complaining to get this fixed?

Safari works for me if I just ignore their warning. Just click on the X on the top right hand corner of the warning.

I do wish they'd just stop putting up the warning.

I usually use Chrome, but just checked this. That X was a little hard to see, but clicking it just removed the warning and the site worked like normal. I am still running on MacOS Sonoma but it is running 26.1 of Safari though I see 26.2 is available.

I reported this to Vistana customer support with a suggested code fix.

The web code has a browser version check from 2015 that hasn't been updated. The browser check looks for at least version 5 (iPhone 2011) ,8 (mac 2014), and to future proof, also accepts any 1x (11-19) version. Safari reports as version 26 now, but the browser check interprets 26 as version 2 and displays the outdated browser warning.

Normally, a company's web support team would test upcoming web browsers and roll out a correction. Draw your own conclusion on the support and enhancements we should expect for the Vistana site.

For techies:
/wp-content/themes/SVN2015/assets/js/source/outdated-browser.min.js
Line 11: 1 < isSafari() && isSafari() < 8 && isSafari() && !isMobile && (outdatedBrowser ...
Line 12: 1 < isSafari() && isSafari() < 5 && isSafari() && isMobile && (outdatedBrowser ...

Fix: Change the first number '1' in lines 11 and 12 to a '2', or just remove the browser check completely.

It took about 30 minutes to find this, and I haven't done web development in years.

I never noticed the little X in the upper right before.

I've made three complaints before and their answer is just to use a different browser.

At least they care somewhat.
