#0, What's new page not working?
Posted by Lime2K on Dec-10-13 at 02:49 PM
Hey Gryph,

Every time I try to use the 'What's New' page on the website I keep getting a weird 404 error. I've tried restarting and killing my cache, so I don't think it's on my end, but you never know...

Thank in advance for looking into it!

Hmm. http://www.eyrie-productions.com/new.html and http://www.eyrie-productions.com/new-rss.xml are both responding normally for me; unable to duplicate.

Also, can you elaborate on what's weird about the 404 error?

It said "404 error" in the titlebar, but the page was blank with an extra scrollbar in the page area.
It's gone now, so maybe actually having someone else look for the problem fixed it :)

So a kind of Heisenbug?

I was unaware there was a name for this phenomenon! Thank you very much! This is something I've had to explain for years.

That sounds like something's trying to wrap the page in an invisible iframe.
I'd suggest both scanning your machine for malware, and making sure you're not behind a (hotel-style) web proxy that's trying to inject external content into your web browsing experience.

I don't see any obvious issues when I view it.

Have you tried viewing with a different browser, or from a different device, just for additional confirmation?
