Do YOU still type www?

[Guest NEO-X]

Man, I dont know why but it irks me when people type

 

www

 

for ex

 

http://www.urgetnfury.com

 

instead of just typnig urgentfury.com

 

 

most modern browsers resolve a ton of addresses

 

hell, you can type "google", and it will resolve the proper domain.

 

dont know why i thought of this, but I wonder how many ppl still do

[DK_MaluNYMets]

Havent in a long time and I feel the same way when i see people do that. THE WORST ARE PEOPLE WHO TYPE IN HTTP lol

[GeneralWar]

I feel the same way cause I haven't done it in awhile

[Prolog39]

I use favourites for most things. When I actually type in an address I do not use the www.

[Guest NEO-X]

^^dude, i love the quote in your sig, thats genius

[Guest Stealthknight]

I usually only type in the visit the first 2 letters then click on one of the drop down from my history. But if its a site I havent visited before or in a long time then no i do not use www.

[CpDude05]

[luchesco]

OWNED... ;D

[Guest deltron0]

if you just type in the word and then hit ctrl+enter, it automatically puts the www. and .com in there

 

so if you type urgentfury and ctrl+enter you get http://www.urgentfury.com

 

that's what i do for most things anymore

It has to do with how the server hosting the site is configured, not the browser. At least in IIS I think there is afeature that needs configured to make it work both ways.

[RNG187]

i dont, when i see people type it, i tell them it isnt 2000, and that they're allowed to just type the website name and not www.

[TOW-19]

Man, I thought I was a little behind here when I read everything and I was thinking....."yeah, I still type http://www."

 

However, you guys are talking about typing in a new address into your browser, right? Because if that's the case, then no.

But if I'm typing up an address on a post and I want to make it easier on them (and me by not having to hyperlink it) then I just type out www with the address.

 

That what you guys are talking about?

[RNG187]

I think he's talking about in the address bar, that's what i'm referring to.

and I do the same when typing a hyperlink/posting a link on the forums..

[o-BacklasH-o]

Yeah on my profile or in posts I always put www in there. For browsing I have my favorites/bookmarks and when I go to a new site I just type the site and .com.

[CritiKiL]

I stopped typing it, when I noticed that 'some' sites won't work with it. For example, if you put (www) in front of socom3.scea.com...you won't get the correct location of the site. So every since I found 'that out'...I just leave the (www) out, except to make a hyperlink in a post or something...

This is TRUE. some sites need the www others do not. some will take both with our with out the www.

 

Its kind of like saying you hate the "ave, st, rd, wy, ln," in some street names.

LOL...I was so thinking about this on Thursday when a colleague of mine (an older gent) was doing this for every site I was telling him to go to....so funny you brought this up Neo...in my brain, I was like "who really still types www other than this guy?"

[DK_MaluNYMets]

Neo you change your name?

[Guest NEO-X]

yep, lots of changes man... this is just one of them... didnt really feel like "announcing" it perse, since people would draw the conclusion based on posts / threads, etc
