Default Access denied - 02-03-2008, 07:42 PM

Upon going to http://java.dzone.com/news/google-blinks I was given "access denied", now I am a long standing member of javalobby, I have been here for almost 5 years. I do not like the changes, but I did not post about it, I did however take part in the survey. I thought I would give it all a chance. But apparently front page news is not for my eyes?

I hope this access denied scenario is a bug, because I can hardly believe a front page story is for a small minority only.

Please fix. And please, recapture the javalobby feel, rather than this blog aggregator.

seanwt, I'm sorry for that frustration. The "Google Blinks" article was mistakenly posted to Javalobby (and all the other zones) when it should only have been posted to the IT News Zone (news.dzone.com)

The link must have made it into a feed before the article was correct to show only on the proper domain, and the system is clearly not very friendly about how it handles the error. Here's the correct url:

Google Blinks: General counsel using the "M-word" | IT News

PS - we'll look at how to make the system fail in a more friendly way than an "access denied" error.

OK, those irritating "access denied" pages should not be delivered any more. Instead, the system should now be smart enough to understand where you meant to get to and take you there (even if the content has been moved off that domain.)

We're really sorry for the irritation. It was bad!

Rick

Default ill let you off - 02-06-2008, 07:58 PM

I'll let you off with it, only due to the fact that you guys have been serving an exellent community for many many years .

I am glad this is fixed! I appreciate that you have fixed this pretty much low priority bug, just goes to show my faith is not missplaced.

I will be sure to bug you if I find anything else that is not up to my standards

Once again, thanks.
