Weird redirects

Postby demigraff » February 16th, 2011, 7:55 am

When I visit this site, I'm used to typing in the address:

www.warpmymind.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=search&search_id=newposts

But if I forget to type the "www." at the beginning, I get redirected to:

http://warpmymind.com/modules/Forums/modules.php?name=Your_Account&redirect=search&search_id=newposts

which doesn't exist, and doesn't even generate a useful error page, no link back to the site or anything. This also seems to happen sometimes if I'm not logged in, so if I then go back to just typing "warpmymind.com", my browser completes the URL I just typed and gives me the same error again, and I actually have to type "/index.php" to get to a page where I can log in.

It could be your internet provider. I know with mine that if I make the slightest typo it redirects me to a "search assist" website(which isn't very helpful at all.)

Maybe your ISP is going too far and making it so you need to include http://www.
