| Submitted by bare_elf on Thu, 2015-06-04 03:56 | ||
For all of you new people and those of you who are long time members an update. As most of you are aware we have migrated from one site to another. The old site which you see here is still operational but with some incompatibility with the new server. So if you look in the download area and the mod or tool you want has no download link please PM bare_elf so that I can correct the problem and send you a link by reply mail. I will attempt to do this within 24 hours of your private message (PM) to me. If you are a long time member and can not log into the site for whatever reason please email me at please note that this email address will only be active until the new site goes active.

I freaked out, lol. I typed in siegetheday.org and the site didn't load, so I thought the last DS modding site vanished! I have to type the full address http://siegetheday.org/ for it to load. I'm not sure why.
I almost had a heart attack when I first saw "Issues" and "Site" in the same post together.
That is strange...the browser should automatically do that for you...the site should work fine with or without www on it as well...
techiem2 it does not matter the browser, if you put in just siegetheday.org you either get garbage or nothing. you have to have the http://
I used IE, safari, firefox, opera and chrome and got various things going wrong. like either garbage (druple code) or a blank screen, or a message saying that you might have put the site name in wrong.
On my oldest system, Windows 2000, simply 'siegetheday.org' is sufficient (with any old/ancient Firefox version).
On my newest system, Windows 8.1, typing 'siegetheday.org' is sufficient too. IE 11 + Firefox 38 are installed there, with the 'search suggestions' feature disabled/restricted however for both browsers - may there be a context!?
Think I had a browser issue, Tech. It started happening on other sites and now it quit doing it.
I did notice that some browsers, depending on version (newer ones more problematic) require the www or the http://www for all web sites.
Browsers keep getting updated to new versions and sometimes the copy from the old version of web sites gets broken.
Not really sure but I have been using opera version 12.17 and version 30 with very few problems. Some images hosted on some web sites will no longer display on opera 12.17 - as the image shareing web sites have updated their code and opera 12.17 was not updated to match. Opera 30 has a good number of stupid issues - does not support irc with any app. Shows saved passwords on screen when you go to a web site. no page refresh. no home button. So I am sticking with 12.17 until such time as the bugs with 30 are fixed. just use 30 to view images that I can not see with 12.17
KillerGremal's point about search may be the key. A lot of the browsers these days use their favored search engine to go to a site, instead of just using the url directly. For example, I found that Safari on an iPad couldn't connect to certain secure sites, because they were excluded from search engines, and being Apple, it wouldn't let me override that behavior.
I think they do that to be helpful if you made a typo, as the search engines will try similar spellings, but sometimes they just make it worse.
