Hey site devvers,

When one goes to http://www.jazz2online.com/gip, they would see a 404 page. I'm sure that didn't happen before :lol: What happened? http://www.jazz2online.com/gip.php (http://www.jazz2online.com/gip) works fine by the way. But that's not what the frontpage links to.




Also, now that I'm posting about broken links anyway... in the "JJ2 Help Server", people are advised to download JJ2+ from http://www.jazz2online.com/jj2+. However, at least in Firefox, that URL does not work (it requires a trailing slash because of the plus sign being trimmed off).

Possible solutions include:
-Change the JJ2 Help Server text so that it has the trailing slash
-Change the link to /jj2-plus
-Allow the plus sign to be omitted (no one will ever try, right?)
-Somehow enforce that the plus sign is kept literally (though I don't know if this is technically possible)

gip fixed, jj2+ is complicated (you're not really supposed to use "+" in urls)

You could also make the link jazz2online.com/plus
Though this sounds like a (paid) premium pack, so it should be made clear it's free and everything :p

But yes, the plus sign is a headache.

It's /jj2plus/ now. Let me know if you find a dead link and I'll update it (checked a few obvious places already, but I don't know exactly where on the site jj2+ is linked)
