TRiG (Ireland) A dog, so bade in office Started conversation Mar 24, 2007
When I finished the survey on the front page, I was returned to the URL I'd started from, minus the last soldus. This resulted in my landing on the <./>brunel</.> page, which does not exist.
I've done the surevey many times before without this problem.
Is this your responsibility, or some that of some other BBC department?

1. <./>/dna/h2g2/brunel/</.> - h2g2 front page, brunel skin
2. <./>/dna/h2g2/brunel</.> - h2g2 error message (user default skin)
3. <./>/dna/h2g2/brunel/brunel</.> - ditto (brunel skin)
4. <./>/dna/h2g2/brunel/brunel/<./> - general error message
I started on the first, did the survey, and landed on the second.
The link in the post above brings me (a signed-in user in the brunel skin) to the third. And the fourth I tried as an experiment.
This too is an experiment: <./>brunel/</.>

"It is a wrong link from GfK, they gave never managed to get the link back to the frontpage correct.
When you open the survey in a new window you may not notice this. However I have not seen any survey that does link back to the frontpage of HooToo in the right way, they always forget the trailing / . "

They forget the trailing forward-slash character on links on other dna sub-sites too. It's a systematic error in the brains of some BBC staff members (or contract workers) somewhere.

It's always worked for me before, and I've never opened the survey in a new window or tab.
