The Hunger Site
Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2020 3:13 pm
C&F's link seems to be broken. I can access the site via the Web, so it's definitely operational otherwise. Any ideas?

No, it's the same organization. The link worked yesterday, but for several weeks now it's been slow in loading, if that means anything.david_h wrote:I can't get it at the URL in the link on the page http://www.thehungersite.com/ - gives 'server not found' the same as clicking the button.
There is a site https://thehungersite.greatergood.com/ that looks similar. Maybe the URL changed - or is that a different organisation? It has a similar vast number of tracking cookies.
I've followed your link. Assuming the site works, it doesn't look that bad to me.Tunborough wrote:It would seem The Hunger Site isn't what it was when Dale first set up the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunger_Site#History.
I guess it works much the same way as the several UK sites that charities can register with. The charity asks its supporters to go to various online stores via the intermediary and that gives the charity part of what it gets for the click. If we click on the banner ads on this page Dale would, presumably, get the whole of the click payment to help fund C&F.benhall.1 wrote:... it doesn't look that bad to me.
Not necessarily bad, just not quite what it was when Dale set up the link.benhall.1 wrote:I've followed your link. Assuming the site works, it doesn't look that bad to me.
It's apparent to me that the difference lies in the "greatergood" addition to the URL. C&F's link doesn't have this, and I'm assuming ours is therefore now obsolete. Is there a way for us to change that, Ben? I'd like to keep it operative, rather than have C&F drag a clutter of broken things behind it.benhall.1 wrote:I've followed your link.

Yes, so would I. I will try and investigate ...Nanohedron wrote:It's apparent to me that the difference lies in the "greatergood" addition to the URL.

Er ... not that I know of ... I wasn't having a bit of a fiddle around with it, but I didn't think I'd managed to do anything ... nah ... I reckon it was Dale.Nanohedron wrote:Hey! The clicky's working now, and it links to the new URL. Response seems snappier, too. Your doing, Ben?
