Re: http://pcformat.co.za problem
you could argue that it should redirect from there instead of throwing out "scary" messages... primarily because the xbox/ipad generation, much like 80yr old early-onset senility victims, don't function well under pressure... and having to work out that they've mis-typed something is serious pressure...Stuart wrote:And if you put a www in there?
this is why many companies spend so much money and effort in putting a friendly face on their 404 pages...

The www in front redirects to the www directory on the server. Where the site files are actually hosted.McGuywer wrote:When I visit http://pcformat.co.za, I get:

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

No man, its simple.

But just for noob's they should perhaps redirect it to the www directory with or without the www infront.

Re: http://pcformat.co.za problem
It's not a new problem or one that doesn't irritate me profusely. Will bug Dawid again to take a look as soon as he has recovered from the mountains of work he's currently squirming under. We suspect there is a fault with the DNS listing and anything that far back gets tricky and makes Ron and D very nervous. It should and will be addressed shortly!
