Content encoding error问题解决方法

A few people have been experiencing the following error. UPDATE: The reason for it happening is because when your browsers request a page from us, we compress it when we send it back. This allows us to send your page faster, and to send more pages to more people simultaneously. Some browsers (either older ones or ones where the deafult settings have been changed) do not accept compressed pages and have to be told to do so. We recommend that you use the latest versions of Firefox, Safari (my personal favourite) or Google Chrome to access the site (and the internet in general). “Content Encoding Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression. * Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.” One of our customers (Matthew McGinlay) has very kindly posted a solution, as below. Thank you Matt! The fix is for firefox

1) In the address bar type “about:config” (but without the inverted commas)

2) Tell it that you will be careful, Promise!!

3) In the filter type encoding

4) There should be one option reading “network.http.accept-encoding”

5) Click in the value column and type “true” (again without the inverted commas)

6) This should fix it and you can search to your hearts content.
