View Full Version : Getting XML instead of HTML topic?

As the site keeps growing, it keeps getting worse. Sometimes when you click on a topic you don't get HTML, you get a huge XML page, and now it seems that certain links always do you, you have to sneak in by clicking on a different number..
WTF?

Yeah it's really annoying and I'm not sure why it'd do that because it shouldn't.

What browsers are you guys using? It doesn't happen to me and I'm using the dreaded IE.

Very infrequently I get it. I'm using Safari. Had similar things happen on various sites. Oh well, not too big a bother to me, but it may be happening more to some than others.
Everyone using the most up to date browsers?

Can you provide a link or screenshot. I've never seen it myself.

I use Mozilla and have never had any problems browsing this site. Microsoft is known to not always follow the standards (I am a computer science grad. student). You probably won't use IE anymore if you know all the security problems (errrr... I mean features) it has.

It has happened to me occasionally (seen with IE). Next time I'll snap it and send a copy.

An XML file is attached, .xml is not allowed so it's just renamed .jpg, IE is dumb enough that if you open it in it's own window it'll show you the file, or just save it and rename it.
I have no way to see that attachment. Either way, changes we're made to the template, so I doubt you'll see it. IMHO, this is a bug in IE, but what can you do.

Right click, properties, copy and past the URL.
I started using firefox recently anyway :)
Sorry, Im not on a PC. Still no go on the attachment.
