web site question...

[VJ]

Ok, this is stupid... I like reading the site gizmodo, and always used the url http://us.gizmodo.com
For some reason, it now forwards me to the Polish site. I can get some other localized versions (French or Brasilian), but then English version always seems to revert back to the Polish version. Is there a way (outside of using a proxy server) to be able to visit the sit I want?

Thanks!

assuming your using FF
make sure you have the language priorities set correctly in the settings

[VJ]

It started occuring yesterday, both on FF and IE. And both at my office and at home...
Language settings are set to English...

[Sasq]

then they have just turned on code to be friendly and helpful.
I have similar problems with some sites here, usually its fixed by changing the language order preferences in IE and FF though.

fallback is force a useragent string for english with an addon, beyond that, they are looking at your ip/provider and going - ooooh you want polish. whine loudly to their support line at that point

[VJ]

I suspect something is not working right then on their end: there are language links, and while some work and take me away from Polish, others don't...
I had similar problems on other sites that don't offer language links, and just wanted to use this as an opportunity to find out if there is much I can do...

Thanks for the help!

I had similar problem for a different site, only way I could sort it was clear the cache,cookies and then reload the browser(using firefox)

Using the select region from the main site after clearing cookies etc has also worked on a few hardware sites as well (asus, gigabyte etc)

[VJ]

Yes, but it doesn't help here... Weird thing is that the other language links all work, so I suspect they made some error in the links to the English lanugage version.
