Weird DG problem solved!

Ok, apparently it has something to do with the OLD bookmark I have for the forums page. I never go to davesgarden.com, I always went to daveagarden.com/forums. However, I noticed this morning that the link for the forums page is now listforums, not just forums as it was before. For some reason I haven't had to change it on my home PC, but on the laptop it won't redirect or work. If I got to the main page and then click on the link for forums, it will go to the forums page now.

After looking at my results with Ethereal, I sort of got the idea that it wasn't failing really...it was trying to go but the error and the description pointed to something about a need to redirect. Here a description of the HTTP/1.1 302 Found http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html
If the 302 status code is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might change the conditions under which the request was issued.

Note: RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 specify that the client is not allowed
to change the method on the redirected request. However, most
existing user agent implementations treat 302 as if it were a 303
response, performing a GET on the Location field-value regardless
of the original request method. The status codes 303 and 307 have
been added for servers that wish to make unambiguously clear which
kind of reaction is expected of the client


Here's the output from Ethereal:
