I'm sure this has been stated, but it's very inconvenient for the DVD page to be named Strongbad Email.exe, since any page ending in .exe will bring up the Save As dialogue in certain browsers... I realize that is the name of the DVD, but I think it would be nice to go in favor of functionality rather than accuracy in this situation. I would have posted this on the talk page for the DVD, but I can't access it :sm:

I would have posted this on the talk page for the DVD, but I can't access it Try hrwiki.org/index.php/DVD, the url for a redirect. That should work for you. I find it odd that hrwiki.org/index.php/strongbad_email.exe brings up a "Save as..." dialogue for you. I'm thinking something might be set weird in your settings or something, as myself and countless others using Firefox and a slew of other browsers haven't had a similar problem. Under Tools --> Options... --> Downloads, is there anything odd in the "File Types" box? Or do you have any download modifying extensions installed?

I uninstalled the DownloadSort extension, and now I can view the page. The problem with using the DVD redirect is, though you can view that particular page, you can't type "talk DVD" to view the .exe discussion page. Anyway, it works now... thanks for the suggestions. It's quite odd, the DownloadSort extension is only supposed to sort downloads by their file extension... it appears there is an unnecessary addition to the plugin.

Nope, no addition. .exe IS the file extension.
