About 20% of the time when I use the wiki, it goes through times when everytime I try to go to the wiki or just click on a link to another page of the wiki, it'll attempt to dowload a file of the page instead of actually going to the page. Why in the world is this happening? It's just for the wiki, no other sites.

Some examples of the files:

Digging_deeper.gz
download.gz.crdownload
40d-Magma.gz.crdownload
index.php
Farming.gz.crdownload
etc.

Basically whatever page it is. I haven't opened them or anything, I cancel them every time. It's getting really annoying.

Old versions of Google Chrome are known to not work correctly with MediaWiki 1.17.0 - if you're not using the latest version, then upgrade.

I am using Chrome, but I just checked for updates and there are none.

It's happening with Firefox, as well.  Don't tell me we're going to have to use IE to view the wiki *shudder*

I'm looking into this, no solution yet but we will find one.  Sorry about the issues.

Do any of you people have Avast antivirus?

I do. Why do you ask?

[Locriani]

Apparently Avast Antivirus is actually the culprit here, not your browser.  A bit crazy, I know.

I have avast, and I've never had any issues with the wiki. Then again, I haven't checked recently. I'll go do so now.

EDIT: Yeah, nothin. Visited about ten seperate pages through the random page link, and a few pages by search engine and nothing.

Well it doesn't happen too often, just every once in a while. And it'll do it for a few minutes when you're trying to figure something out, which is pretty annoying.

Edit: I'm assuming it has something to do with the site advisor, right? Maybe there's a way I can exclude it from checking the wiki. That might solve the problem.

I use chrome, and have avast. I also have 20 Fun.crdownload files in my download folder. Recently it seems to have been fixed though.

Just tried it today with Chrome.  Not fixed.

What I always do is just spam click the link/press esc key until it breaks through, and the page loads properly.  I suppose with everything else about Dwarf Fortress being about menu meta-grinding, it would only make sense that the wiki would require you to grind in order to make it work, too.

And you're not using Avast or similar software?

I have this problem with google chrome, but then i load the page with firefox it works fine without anything being downloaded.
Also what it does it that it try's to download the page instead of loading it =/

[blaize9]

Just open a different browser for the DF wiki
