I don't know if this has been suggested before, but the gallery.menalto.com website works fine. If you add the www in front, it does not.
www.gallery.menalto.com does not work.

I recommended this website to many people and had trouble accessing it because of this.

We do not advertize the site with a www. If you've found somewhere where there is a www at the beginning, please let us know so that we can take care of it. Another good way to share this site with other people is to ask them to Google search for "Gallery" and it is the first hit.

Really, there wouldn't be any harm in creating a www sub-sub-domain and adding an alias to apache. For a *large* number of people, adding www to everything is a habbit. I have to stop my parents from typing it on plenty of URLs. I on the other hand am very frustrated when a site does *not* work if you leave off the www part. I hate it! :)

No, I haven't seen it anywhere with www, but indeed, it is an habit.
I typed it so many times with www in front and did not work.
Who knows how many people try to reach it and just can't.

Funny, I even put a link to your website from mine, cliked on it for weeks and did not work, until I realised that I need to take the www out.

I'm not sure how to do that. We use Register.com for our DNS, and I'm not sure that they allow subzones. If anybody can tell me how to do it on register.com, I'll be happy to give it a shot.

I host with dreamhost and that was an option with them.
I selected at that time that my website works both with and without www.

It might not be your case, but check with your hosting provider anyway.

Please, tell me how to stop my getting e-mails about gallery that come from:
gallery.menalto.com

I like being able to log onto the site & to view forums about gallery but I'd prefer to be without the stream of e-mails about topics I don't understand, that I can't help with, and don't want to know about.

P.S. A bit in the same vein:
It's unusual in clearly reputable sites not to have a clear "Unsubscribe" option ...

Hi, Travessa!

It's important to us that you're not receiving unwanted mail from our forums. Every message that you're receiving *should* be one that you've specifically asked to receive (by clicking the "subscribe" link in either a forum or a forum topic). At the top of every single email that you receive from this forum is a link to manage your subscriptions. This is what one of those emails looks like for me:

Quote:
Greetings, bharat. This is an automatic mail from Gallery.
To manage your subscriptions, browse to http://gallery.menalto.com/subscriptions

...

I've adjusted the text to have the word UNSUBSUBSCRIBE in capital letters to make that clearer. But I'm curious to find out how you started getting these messages in the first place so that I can help tune the site to avoid accidental subscriptions (they place a big load on our server!) I can drop all your subscriptions immediately whenever you want, just let me know.

Many thanks, Bahrat: for your reply and for putting a key word in block capitals. I'll set about making good use of it.

Best Regards
Travessa
