I am currently hosting www.freerangedesign.com
Sometimes when I type in www.freerangedesign.com/psigate, it tries to take
me to www.bentleysark.co.uk/psigate
(bentleysark is another domain I host) The I obviously get a File not found
error.
Can anyone fill me in on why this is happening?
Cheers
P

Hi,
I don't normally speak out like this but I am quite discussed that cobalt
will release patches that cause damage to their customers machines!
Why can't they test them? A group of 10 different RaQs for them to test on
wouldn't cost them a penny but I'm sure would save a lot of problems!
Also why does it take so long for a patch to be released? Do they rush them
last minute? Is this why there are so many problems!
Quite frankly cobalt I would have expected better, every patch you release
has a bug or problem. The machines you make are great, why can't the updates
be like them?
Regards,
Mark Baker
