Re: Read the fine print in the contract
I just thought .... dangerous, I know, but reading the contract? does anybody read any of the T&Cs in the amateur world? Perhaps they should. Fine Print is horrible stuff, until there is a claim of some sort against one party or the other. In a case the other day where Mr A said he had a claim against a company, it is at court, the company is arguing a man cannot sue it over the death of his wife because of terms he signed up to in a free trial of the Company. ?
?
Please note I have not named names but this discussion is on BBC/CNN et.al.
Please also note: I am not a legal person and this is not legal advice etc.?
?
So I apologise for NOT reading the contract.
?
My view however is that a download button should lead to where it is expected to go. The button should not be so big or obvious thereby leading to a 'Push Me Now'. The explanation text to go and do something else, that Is follow this process, should be much earlier in the reading. (At the top).

Hi Dave,
Unfortunately the fldigi project on sourceforge has multiple downloadable packages. Sourceforge in their wisdom provides a quick button the latest uploaded. This might not be the package you want.
I don't think that the fldigi team have any control over the way that sourceforge presents their offerings.
The text next to the Download button identifies the package that will be downloaded. I assume this showed it was the flamp package. It would have had flamp in its name.

Hi,
Please take this criticism respectfully: If I do a search on FLDIGI I get: If I then click on the giant green button labeled DOWNLOAD directly below the giant white FLDIGI file icon, it links to: which then downloads FLAMP, not FLDIGI. Why not just send the DOWNLOAD button on the FLDIGI page to the FILES section directly, which contains FLDIGI, and not force a download of a program I did not request like FLAMP?? This seems overly confusing, and I would bet you many people just go off wondering what happened... 73, and thanks, Dave (NK7Z) ARRL Volunteer Examiner ARRL Technical Specialist, RFI ARRL Asst.

Re: Virus - W1HKJ.com ??
I'm currently using Let's Encrypt certificates on two websites (one is ? )
?
While they work fine, there can be a downside; they last for 90 days rather than the ususal 1 year.? That's fine if the website's hosting system permits automatic-renewal, but unfortunately the one I'm using does not ... and the process for creating a certificate manually is a bit tedious given it has to be done every 3 months.

Re: Link to W1HKJ software URL goes to wrong site
Sometimes erroneous DNS references are due to a corrupted DNS resolver cache on one's own computer or network. It can help to flush that cache, forcing the DNS server you are using to replace it. In Windows, the cache can be flushed using the command
? ipconfig /flushdns
Success results in the display of the following line:
? Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.
?
For instructions for other OSs, do a search for "flush DNS resolver cache".
?
It may also be that the DNS server you are using is wrong. That is solved by specifying a different one in your computer's or network's configuration. For that, try a search on "change DNS server". This change is not difficult to do.

Link to W1HKJ software URL goes to wrong site
We should recall that [apparently] some browsers change the http address to https, and ~that~ points elsewhere...the source of many complaints in the past, and many posts here, as research shows why folks were/are getting redirected.
So look carefully at the URL in the browser search field, and if it has been changed to https from http, change it back. This means that while you may have clicked a link that began with you may be sent instead to a link beginning with I did some research...out of my wheelhouse, unfortunately...and found that The British Sundial Society does exist here I was planning to ask why they are using , only to find that ~they~ likely are not. It seems to me after some research that this is a DNS problem, not a browser problem, and I don't know how to approach fixing it. The certificate error occurs [apparently] because some service changes http to https, then sends that to a DNS server for resolution. If that particular DNS has a bad link, folks get sent to the BSS in a comedy of errors. http gets changed to https, apparently because http wasna resolved in the correct time frame by the in-use DNS server, and that link gets incorrectly resolved to the BSS site. I have had this redirect problem in the past, but not for the past year or 2, so it seems that the problem is cleared up on my end. But I can force the error by specifying https, so the bad link is out there in DNS-land. I dunno who fixes such things. Maybe ICANN can ;-) but I can't ;-) 73 Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua |
