Sweet. My very first LifeHacker "entire site replaced by the homepage" sighting.
As a result of their genius idea to use hashbangs instead of proper URLs, in conjunction with their use of 3rd party (and therefore guaranteed thoroughly debugged and awesome) ad-serving javascript, that link takes me to the LifeHacker homepage with no Seinfeld article in sight.
Opening Chrome's inspector, I see this:
Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL
http://uk.lifehacker.com/#!281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret from frame with URL
http://www.facebook.com/extern/login_status.php?api_key=82da475aae3dff17ef28332d6a2f9501&extern=2&channel=http%3A%2F%2Fuk.lifehacker.com%2Fmodules%2Fblog%2Fxd_receiver.html&locale=en_US.
Domains, protocols and ports must match.
Note to self: Keep using actual URLs for URLs.
- factotvm 16y agoWhen I clicked the link I saw a indeterminate progress bar which spun (and spun, and spun). Then I recalled this little gem about Gawker's redesign: Remove the hashbang and prepend domain with "ca": http://ca.lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-secret http://ca.lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity... Dunno how long this trick will work... Though if I were them, I'd take the hard-learned lesson and revert.
- karlzt 16y agofor me it works on firefox but not on w3m
- mryall 16y agoYeah, for me it redirects to Lifehacker's Australian domain. Complete web site fail. Somewhat ironically, the first link that appears on the resulting, incorrect page is "Tip your editors". Unlikely, when I can't even read their content.
