1. Just came on here to see if anyone else has a problem, as well.

I get a message asking if I want to download rawstory.

8. Something strange just happened to me...

I typed http://www.rawstory.com into the URL address box and a a Windows popup came up and asked if I wanted to download a file called "rawstory." Of course, I clicked "cancel."

I've NEVER seen that happen before!:wow:

I just got that weird message, too now. But I don't have a problem seeing the site.

On edit: I spoke too soon. I had the tab open, but when I refreshed, I got that message again and it went blank.

15. "Content-Type: application/x-httpd-php" instead of "text/html"

It's a problem for their webmaster.

14. Screwed up

They've somehow screwed up the content-type of the response, so our browsers prompt to download the file because it doesn't recognize the type.
