Some sites do not open

[Methen]

I reported this once but it still has not been fixed
any link that (does not) have a www in it will not open you have to copy and paste for it to work

[kudos]

Not true - try something like google.com and it will open. It's up to the site to handle the request and return the correct page. Avant behaves just like Internet Explorer. Please report if your Internet Explorer installation is broken. Can you provide any specific examples.

[Methen]

Well Try going to
http://tufat.com/

or for that matter click on the forum button at the top of this site
all I can tell you is it does not open for me.

I tried it about 10 minutes ago in all of my browsers and they all timed out - presumably the site was down.

I just tried it again, and they are all working and all are producing the same result.

Hmm, the site must have been down the first time.

Tested http://tufat.com/ (exactly as shown) with Avant, Orca, Firefox, Internet Explorer.

kudos he said some sites don't open what are the odds of all of his sites that donot open be down at the same time i am ofcoarse wondering why this happens

[kudos]

The odds are quite staggering. If all sites appear to have a problem but Internet connectivity exists then it could be your DNS provider (I recommend OpenDNS).

It is good practice to check if a site is online with sites like these: Down for everyone or just me? or Is my website online?

[Methen]

No the sites were not down as I said any site that does not have a www will not open with avant
atleast not for me I can cope and pase the site into the address bar and it will work
but not when I click on it.

Update: I went in to the avant browser settings and under new window change it to open in a seperate window and tried that, and some of the sites started loading and keep on working even when I change back to the previous setting how ever when I click on the avant broswer help and try to get to the forums that way or when I click on the forums tab on the top of this page it will not work.
