Webpage mis-identifies my system for client download

Post by silveradocyn »

Hi,

I was trying to download the normal GUI client to another system this morning, and found that the download page seems to think I have a PS3, and isn't giving me the WIndows clients. Is there some way around this?
Thanks,
Steve in Silveradocyn

Sam here on IE7/XP Home. and before the clients disappeared, the webpage was convinced I had an Intel Mac :?

Couldn't find an appropriate thread, so please move this topic if this is the wrong place.
I was checking http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Download and found that only a playstation client is recommended (based on information furnished by my browser) :)
I know the pieces fit

That's what I see, too, and I'm definitely not browsing via Playstation today. :lol:

I sent a heads up, but I suspect somebody is just working on the page. They may already be aware.

Thanks for the heads up. This one was strange -- when I went to our CMS to fix it, it was fixed and now looks fine. It may be a bug somewhere in our CMS software. We'll keep an eye on it.

Cruising through the forum, I see the same topic discussed under "General FAH issues." Dr. Pande has apparently addressed the issue.

I merged them in to one topic. -7im

I wasn't going to bug you people with the following problem until I noticed this thread. Your download page isn't compliant XHTML as per this validator:

http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input

Normally I don't go around validating other peoples' web pages but I validated yours after it got mangled a couple of months back by my employer's proxy server in our DMZ.

I've seen this before; browser-savy users will say something like "I'm using IE6 which should be able to render any wacky page" but they forget that sometimes there is an intervening security element with a rule enabled requiring strictly compliant pages.
