404 Error Loving

I spent this evening working on the 404 error page for df.com. The result is a nice friendly search is done on any page that doesn’t exist including a list of alternatives that might help you find what you’re looking for (assuming it’s actually still there). For example, if you go to: https://www.digitalflood.com/chicken.htm. You’ll see the page in action. It seems to work well enough though I plan on cleaning it up a bit over the long term to make it a bit prettier. For now though, at least it works.

Resolved: Rating Error

We’ve resolved the Rating System error noted in the prior entry. During “safe mode” retro-testing it was determined the issue was with a third party extension in Firefox. I’m not sure which one, but if you have it installed you can use safe mode instead when browsing the site until they resolve how caching works. I suspect it may be the “FasterFox” plug in which is still under experimental status. Majority of viewers will be unaffected though. The DF.com Code Info page has been updated to reflect this.
