Hello,

I have trouble viewing the QSC-timelines. Clicking a link it always reads:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /timelines/qsc40/ on this server.


Once I was able to show them, since then I did no major changes to my internet settings - except for running Adaware to empty my cookie-tin.
I'm using internet explorer 6.0.

What am I doing wrong?

Not your fault that one, all the links that should go to timelines go to the directory itself and not to the individual files. Since we don't have read access to the directory we get nothing.
You can access the files by copying the link to the save, changing "saves" to "timelines" and change the file suffix from .SAV to .TXT. That will work for those who hand in plain text files at least.

Or, you can wait for the staff to fix the glitch. :D

Sorry. Made an error while I was tidying up some code. I've fixed it :blush:

Fine. Now it's only my own timelines & saves that can't be accessed. Not that they would be of any importance to anybody - but maybe some day they will :smug: :mischief:

I guess, there's trouble converting the # in my name into a valid url name because the url reads:

http://gotm.civfanatics.net/timelines/qsc40/Paul
http://gotm.civfanatics.net/saves/gotm30009/Paul
http://gotm.civfanatics.net/saves/gotm40/Paul

which do not exist.
I apologize for causing this trouble... :(

A # sign has a special meaning in URLs, and so it's terminating your links prematurely. We have a function to filter special characters out of filenames, but # wasn't included in the list. I've changed the names of your existing files and fixed the filter for future entries.

Thanx a lot.
