Unfortunately, when I click on the link I get a Server Error and a Stack Trace. While I happen to be a SW Engineer, I don’t really want to debug the trace. š
That’s odd! Do you also get that if you go to http://beta.wiewaswie.nl
Yup. I’m using Firefox 51.0.1. I can use the current WieWasWie, in English, with no problems (I’m a registered user).
I think this might be a Firefox issue with the site. If I open in an IE Tab (Firefox addon that emulates Internet Explorer) it opens okay. I assume opening in IE directly works (I never use IE).
I get the same server error
Thank you all for notifying me about the Firefox issues. I have notified the WieWasWie people of your comments and hope they can fix the problem.
At WieWasWie we were unable to reproduce the error. If the error happens again, please report to helpdesk@wiewaswie.nl
Thanx, Ruud
Thanks. I just sent you an email with the stack trace I get.
Thanks, Kirk, for helping the website be the best it can be.
Just got a notice from WieWasWie that they had fixed the problem. I tried the site and was able to login and search with no problem. Nice job fixing this WieWasWie!
I was able to get in using either of the links. Very nice, easy to navigate. I ocasionally was linked to the page following the actual records. One example was an 1835 records for Suzanna Knudde. It took me to the page after the page the record was on. But I saw the record number, so I went back a page.
