I have the funniest problem - Quicklinks

Author: H.Simon (6 Mar 08 8:54pm)

I have a website http://www.xfilesnews.com/

It uses joomla and I am using the http:bl to it - i've donated an mx entry and all that good stuff to get the key.

I don't think that's the issue here tho. I have one user e-mailing me saying that when she visits the site - she gets taken to my quicklink as an automatic redirect! Therefore she can never see the site!

Here is what she wrote:

i just tried with Internet Explorer and i got redirected to the same page http://www.theopalproject.co.uk/tendency.php?source=42
i use Mozilla Firefox most of the time, and the answer to your question is yes. i started seeing that page since last week. that's why everytime i got it and with all the fuss over the latest news, i assumed the site was down.

if it is useful i am using a wireless Internet connection.

I have several different types of quicklinks placed in my template. Any ideas appreciated

Some more info would be helpful:

- exactly which Joomla http:bl mambot are you using? There are several out there.

If I was you I would look in my access_log and determine which IP address it is that this user comes in to your site with when she accesses your site. I would then do an IP Lookup here to see if her server is indeed a problem. It could be that in fact her IP is bad and your http:bl is working perfectly!
