Dear webmaster,

I tried contacting webmaster@postgresql.org twice about broken links on all
the top corner square ads at http://www.postgresql.org web site, but no one
seemed fix them for a very very long time. Hopefully this post will get to
the right channel.

Regards, Stephen

Re: Broken links in postgreSQL.org ads

how broken? I just tested it from here, using Mozilla Firebird, and they
work fine, no errors ... there are issues with IE6 that we are aware of,
but again, nothing that should generate error messages ...

I always assumed it was my settings, but they've never worked for me. It just
seems to redirect back to www.postgresql.org

Firebird 0.7 (allow unrequested popups from postgresql.org)
Konqueror 3.1.something

'K, just tried Konqueror, and I get the same behaviour ... Firebird 0.7,
though, works fine for me ...

Just looked in Konqueror's settings for Cookies, and default is to accept
from originating server ... IE6 has similar 'defaults', but you can setup
P3P to get around it, do you know if Konqueror supports the same thing?

Does anyone know anything about P3P? We setup P3P for IE6, but it seems
to still fail ... based on checks that Dave made, it apparently has to do
with a 'short form' of P3P that needs to be sent out, but I'm not sure
where/how to send it out ...

I'm using IE6 and it redirects back to http://www.postgresql.org. Mozilla
1.4 works fine.
