Www Prefix For My Trap17 Site?

[googlue 0]

I thought the address for the site was

 

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

 

But that gave an error page.

 

So I tried

It worked!

 

What does that mean?

It doesn't matter whether or not you include the www prefix.

as a matter of fact in some cases it does make a huge difference
but in Xisto it no issue

Doesnt it depend if your browser is set to find the most likely address for a shortened url?

that is true but this issue is a minor
it depends on server/dns settings
fe doom9.org was different from http://www.doom9.org/ (i have jsut notised that this great site has finally got their stuff right so for now this is not a good example)

Well, somehow, it is working now. I did not change any settings... and it happened in all my browsers - Firefox, Opera, Mozilla, Maxthon and IE!

 

May be some www blackmagic?

 

It is working now and that is good.

 

BTW, I realized when I came back to see this post of mine. I clicked on the first link and it opened!!

well either way, you probably just needed to either restart your browser or your computer, that usually fixes the problem i've noticed
