When i try do download the newst issue of FCM - i have this problem

http://pl.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2s9aj9h&s=5

it says that my browser is 8 years old and I should download new IE :P or mozilla or google chrome.

I'm using KDE, on kubuntu 9.04 with Firedfox 3.03

my useragent is: Your User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)

what should i do now?

... try downloading directly from: http://fcm.octarineparrot.com/fullcircle-issue24-eng.pdf

Not sure where you got ie.octarineparrot.com from though, something to do with mrmondays hosting maybe? He likes IE I'm told ;)

i get the same problem, form direct link :O never seen smth like this :P

can it be caused by mine internet provider?

hmm.. i've tried using anonymous browsing - got the same error.

funny bug :)

ps. can anyone rapidshare it for me?

SOLVED - after todays security update for FF, or somthing else :P - the download is working just fine :)

Sorry, I've set my server to globally block IE6, didn't think about full circle when I added that functionality (it was before I hosted the issue).

I'm curious as to why firefox on kubuntu was reporting itself as Internet Explorer on Windows though...

Edit: The issue has been moved over to the main full circle server now, so this issue won't happen any more. I'll make sure it's fixed before next time I host an issue!

i dunno... but i experience that on other sites too. My browser being marked as IE6... that's pretty strange... :/ i suppose Kubuntu users, and KDE users - still have much problems to address... :( But hey! I love KDE anyway :) btw. now it all works just fine. Thanks. Problem solved.
