Webpage mis-identifies my system for client download
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

Download page issue
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)

Re: Download page issue
That's what I see, too, and I'm definitely not browsing via Playstation today.
I sent a heads up, but I suspect somebody is just working on the page. They may already be aware.

Re: Download page issue
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

Re: Download page issue
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.
