From my home, work and sisters house I can't access dumpshock by going to www.dumpshock.com anymore. I get an error message saying IE can't download / from dumpshock.com. I can get in the back way by going directly to a thread but not the front door since last friday. Is it just me?
Thanks for your time. Todd Songer. |

This is very strange -- I didn't notice it because I use Firefox and it's not having problems with http://www.dumpshock.com/ at all. I'm looking into it right now to see what's wrong.

Update: I reinstalled the software that we use to drive the homepage and it seems to have solved the problem for me with IE. Could you guys verify that things are working for you now?

When I use IE and type in the front page it asks me to download a file!

Kanada Ten, it shouldn't ask you for that anymore. I'm not sure what the problem was but I was able to duplicate it and reinstalling the blog software solved it for me. It could be cached on your end in it's broken state still.
If anyone is still having problems after doing a shift+refresh on the homepage, let me know. |

<shurg> No change, and on two machines even. I don't normally use IE either, so if I'm the only one don't worry. I'll download the file and let you know what's in it.

Hum, looking at it in Notepad, it looks like the source code only all the ; are little boxes. When I paste it into Netscape, they all become EOBs.

Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106IC on a Windows 98SE
Interestingly, if I choose to open the file (which has no extension) using Internet Explorer it shows the webpage - though the layout there is a bit funky. |

All the links perform the same way (meaning they ask me to download a file).

Same problem as Kanada, only I can't open it because I don't have the program it was made with.

Do you get the same problem on http://tss.dumpshock.com/ ? It's running a slightly older version of the blog software (WordPress) but I'd expect it to exhibit the same problem for you.
I can't duplicate this using a fully patched IE6 on XP SP2 (6.0.2900.2180...). |

No problems with tss in IE, though it too is not as well formatted.
It should come up with an "Open using" dialog box. You can select Internet Explorer from the list. No real reason to though. |

Well, it works on the XP machines here as well. Still not on the 98's.

The supplemental? No problems with it. If there are formatting problems, I haven't paid enough attention to notice.

Everything in Windows is patched up to the latest stuff? Hm... IE operates the same in 98 and XP, though there's a difference in the kernel (as XP is NT-based, NT 5.1 or 4.1 I believe. I can never remember which). I didn't think it would cause that much of a problem. My suggestion? Not attempting to be an elitist (as I hate those), but get FireFox. If you don't like it, try Opera. IE is bad news, period. |

Having the same problems as Kanada Ten and others: prompts me to "download" the DS homepage. Opening with IE works, but not well, yadda yadda yadda... same story.
The TSS page worked, but I have no point of reference for how well, since I've not looked at it in a while. |

With plain vanilla IE on XP SP2 both sites work just fine, with no formatting problems.
Mark, I guess it was a mime type misconfig, right? :) |

Not exactly a mime type misconfig, though the content-type is the root of the problem. They apparently made the content type a configuration parameter between the beta 1.5 we were running and the final version, and I didn't run the DB update script to fix the schema; I didn't realize there were any gotcha changes there since it _seemed_ to work okay. :) |
