    [​IMG] Hi,

    Not sure if this is right place to post this.

    In Location: Games » Icewind Dale 2 » Editors, Hacks & Custom Characters
    http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/IWD2/index_editors1.php

    There's a link to Tweaked Experience Tables
    Tweaked Experience Tables 1kb Download
    However, it is a link to another page..

    http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/IWD2/tweaked_xp_tables.php

    which then has the downloadable zips on separate links.

    I know this is very fussy, but I righted clicked the link to get the "save target.." option, and saved the page instead of the tables.

    The whole site runs so slickly elsewhere, I just thought I'd mention it.

    cheers
    E.I.

    I think all Elian is saying is that the first link he mentions is misleading since it implies it will give you a 1kb file when in fact it takes you to another page with a couple of links that will give you files.

    He just wants the original link to be more clear on what it is linking to.

    Actually, SP's has a number of links like that... I contemplated inventing some icon to put next to the "Download" link when it wasn't actually a file on the link, but it'd be a lot of work to put check all the download links, and there are just more important things to do around SP than such cosmetic fixes. If you click on the links normally then you will still get a "Save As" prompt if it is a file, but you will also be taken further properly if the link leads to a page. So, in short, if this bugs you, either check the name of the file linked before you right-click, or simply left-click.
