Um, ok. On two separate computers, both running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit, this particular issue has manifest. It happens regardless of browser (those tested are: IE8, Firefox 4.0 and Chrome 11).
The behaviour:
When entering the website as: www.paizo.com, we are immediately redirected to: http://paizo.com/paizoGames
When entering the website as: paizo.com the page loads normally to paizo.com.
This has been ongoing for several days and is... bewildering.
Not sure if it's intentional, but I thought to bring it to the attention of the powers that be.
Sincerely,
Confused in California
I'm noticing the same happening with Safari, though not with Explorer (8).
Happens to me as well, on 3 different computers i use. (work, laptop and home)
Also the messageboards link at paizo.com/paizoGames doesn't work :)
Dear Confused in California,
I think that was mentioned before. I don't have links to the old threads, but that's the way the addresses are set up (www.paizo.com is not the same as paizo.com! It's just that most sites are set up to redirect you from one to the other, so it seems that it doesn't matter if you include the www - because most of the time, for all practical purposes, it really doesn't).
I don't know if it's intentional, but it's not a browser problem.
In fact, if the browser doesn't redirect you like that, the browser is doing it wrong.
Yours sincerely,
Sagacious in Saarland.
as mentioned earlyer
http://paizo.com goes to paizo.com
and
http://www.paizo.com goes to the games page.
This should be fixed now. Any request to www.paizo.com should be redirected to paizo.com, not the Paizo Games page.
Wow. I wish all support organizations were as awesome as Paizo's. Great fix and FAST! Thanks, GT!
True!
I type p, hit enter and I'm here ;)

On Opera, the Paizo site is on my speed dial.
On Firefox, the forums are my starting page (not using firefox for anything other than the paizo boards and the occasional webpage that doesn't work correctly on Opera. Damn Opera 11!)
