Forum link problem?

M249-M4A1 · 07-22-2007, 06:30 AM

OK I have no idea if this was posted, but there seems to be a problem with the forums link on the main page. If you click "Jobs" and then you click forums, it takes you to fortress-forever.com/jobs/forums. Maybe it was something that was recently taken down? This also goes with media. Anywho, just wanted to bring it up. Thanks!

I don't experience any problem. Here's the steps I took:

Going from the front page www.fortress-forever.com/ and clicking JOB OPENINGS, takes you to www.fortress-forever.com/jobs/ .

Going from the front page http://www.fortress-forever.com/ and clicking on MEDIA, takes you to www.fortress-forever.com/?a=media

If I begin at the jobs page at www.fortress-forever.com/jobs/ and click forums, I go to the forums as expected. http://forums.fortress-forever.com/

Am I missing something?

Yeah it's a fault. If you click jobs then go to forums it takes you to jobs/forums which is invalid.

I'm getting no problems?

Maby its a browser related problem? Im not getting any problems and im on Firefox.

Same here, no issues with Firefox or with IE.

People are making up problems.

skuLL · 07-22-2007, 09:23 PM

Opera issue maybe?

Just reproduced on IE7.

Here's the offending code, on line 50:

Code:

		<li><a href="./forums/">forums</a></li>

Drop the dot and it will work, the problem is that the Jobs section (as well as the Contact section) are in their own directories, and the dot represents the current directory to the browser. Not sure why it doesn't happen in firefox, though.

Incorrect, add a dot and it will take it to the parent directory.

You're thinking of two dots.

reread what I wrote.

Good call. lol...anyway, if you look at the other links that work fine, you'll see that without the dot there is no problem. Either way would work I suppose.
