There seem to be a lot of deadends lately in the freestuff downloads - those that end up with a "page not found on this site" or similar message, or as with Dragonaerie, one clicks on the 'enter' button and gets a blank page. What's going on? Am I missing something?

People could be stealing hits from Renderosity. They advertise it, and when you click it they get money or something like that. Blah all on it.

Peoplw loose their web page, or quit doing it and are too lazy to go around and clean up after themselves. At least in some cases. ~EA

In the case of Dragonayerie, it most likely has to do with your browser - I went over there with my old Netscape 4.7 and it bombed. MS Explorer, though, could run it fine. It's a perfectly innocent site, believe me, that uses Java applets and stuff that your browser doesn't understand. That's most likely the problem. Also, there's been some major trouble with bandwidth on the web since last night - maybe transatlantic trouble, I'm not sure. Incredibly slow. Might even have to do with the tremor on the US/Canadian East Coast? But some other sites are real 'black holes', wasting our time, although that seldom happens here. More often it's the incredibly tedious type of site with a million new browser windows that pop up, and commercials and D/L pages and links to ftp sites and free hosts in all directions and so on.... I most often just get the h*ll out and leave it. :] FishNose

Dragonayerie crashed Explorer for me the first time, but loaded correctly the second. In designing successful web pages - KISS.

Why KISS? If you want to go all out, go for it. It's your expression, not somebody elses. I got in no problem, and it looks pretty cool. :) ~EA

It's only worth going all out if it works, period. KISS

Even if you don't keep is simple, there is absolutely no excuse for having a web site that is designed for one browser type or the other. Just a little research and people can have what they want their site to look like AND have it viewable by the majority of the browsers. I am after some of Vethrils' stuff, anyone know what's happened to them or if they have a new home?
