    Links from the Hexus.net frontpage

    Just an ikkle suggestion, this

    Basically at work i have to use the Hexus.co.uk address as SurfControl blocks Hexus.net
    Anyway, all the links on the Hexus frontpage use the .net address meaning, i have to copy and paste the address into the bar and modify it myself.

    Is it possible you could change the links to be relative so i dont have to bother with the copying and the pasting and the pain and the wrath.... glavin.

    Cheers!

    thats the Hexus.co.uk site, and the link target (in the status bar) heads off to Hexus.net

    Ya because all of the links on the left and right menus are 100% dynamic and should assign whichever domain you come in on

    For reasons too numerous to mention the links have to be absolute and not relative I'm afraid. What you could do is put an entry in your hosts file on your PC that redirects traffic from hexus.net to hexus.co.uk which should get around your problem.

    thanks for the suggestion Az, but I've tried that before.
    Basically, this works...
    84.12.5.240 hexus

    but this doesnt...
    84.12.5.240 www.hexus.net

    So i still have the same problem.
    Thanks for the trying tho.

    It won't work for the virtual domains I don't think as users.hexus.co.uk, forums.hexus.co.uk etc probably aren't forwarded to the correct place although I will check with our host. I assume you mainly want to access the main site and content in which case a hosts file should work. Fingers crossed
