h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

That's in Internet Explorer 7. In both Mozilla 1.7 and Mozilla Firefox, I see the intermediate page and am correctly redirected after 5 seconds. No problems there.

Does IE7 have any security settings which might prevent the meta-refresh from working? I can't test it from here as I only have IE6. If I can remember, I'll try it from a machine at home.

There's none that I can see.

I've just tried it with IE7 and I get the same result.

My guess is that it's the comma after the 5 - every other redirect I've seen uses semi-colon to separate the time from the url. IE7 obviously has a problem with the comma (since other refreshes work fine - like h2g2's conversation list).

I'll report this back to the team who look after the redirect.

"I tried the link with IE7 and it worked allright "

I allegedly have IE6 (but with various updates) and the redirect doesn't work for me either - just get endless refreshes.

Traveller in Time copying this thread to IE7
"Get a reload on the external page anyway it does load flawless in the end. "

Try it again now. I'm told it's been fixed.

The 5, has been changed to a 5; but the page still refreshes back to the same page.
