Hello all
Recently started learning some stupid htaccess tricks, yay! Fun stuff
Anyway, I'm completely new to this but got some great code off the dreamhost wiki
That works - so now when people follow links to my site from some troublemaker who is talking trash about my site, they are redirected to an amusing page on a completely unrelated site - "You got Rick Rolled" or some such silliness
Problem : I've check and tested this every way i can think of and for some reason my redirects only work in IE and Safari - when the user with the Firefox browser seem to follow the offending inbound links as per normal
Obviously not life or death here, but it sure would be satisfying if I could get this to work - anyone have any ideas as to what I need to add (or modify) here, based on the below?
This is from my .htaccess file on the root level of my site, BTW
Many thanks!
Zach
