I recently updated every inch of my Mac: Updated Operating System, Latest version of Safari Browser, Latest Version of Flash Player and other updates; yet, I continue to get redirects (the browser tries to connect but can't). This only happens at AARP's game portion of the web site. It does not happen at any other web site nor does it happen at other parts of AARP's web site.

IS ANYBODY WITH A MAC AND SAFARI EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM????

Yes, I am having problems with it.  Mainly I cannot play the games anymore.  "Too many reconnects" is the note I get on my screen.

You can play the games if you use Firefox as your browser.

I use a Mac and switched to Firefox about two years ago. I also have Safari on my computer but prefer Firefox. I have few problems playing the games AARP. Below is a link for downloading Firefox.

I too am a Mac user and have been frustrated with the issues you outline.  I finally started using Google Chrome and it works much better than Safari on the AARP games.  However, it is frustrating as I use Safari for everything else and it works fine for all other web pages.

Well, after weeks of playing games using Firefox as my browser, I thought I'd try using Safari to see if anything had changed. It is obvious that no one at AARP has read any of the posts at their community. The "redirects" are still occurring. All they care about is more and more advertising being added to their game site until you can no longer see the game. Pop up after pop up shilling this product or that. It seems like they don't represent us, it seems like they represent corporate America.
