I know that I went to Bill's site and now when I type s I get www.stata.com/meeting as a choice.
For finding sites I use the plug in inquisitor a lot. http://www.inquisitorx.com/safari/index_en.php -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lee Larson Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2008 10:26 AM To: Macintosh topics Subject: Re: [MacGroup] dns annoyances On Sep 11, at 7:27 AM, Bill Rising wrote: > My guess is that the DNS from the ISP is now jumping in and putting up > an annoying page instead of telling Safari that the site was not > found.

I think your guess is correct about the DNS and I also think Ed is right about Safari getting a link for stata/meeting from your browsing history. I've tried variations on that idea with my own sites. Before resetting Safari, things like louisville/~lee and louisville/ blackboard would find the pages I expected. After resetting or turning on private browsing, they no longer work. You've got to admit Safari moving from stata/meeting to www.stata.com/meeting is a pretty long jump without some sort of help from a cache. _______________________________________________ The next Louisville Computer Society meeting will be September 23 at MacAuthority, 128 Breckinridge Lane.
