ok for me now on this computer why?

The wiki got moved to a new server recently. The www.wiki address isn't the proper one, but worked on the old server.

There was an old DNS entry to create the sub sub domain for www.wiki that I did not bother to create for the new server. Partly because it was not really its proper address, but mostly because you get slightly odd behaviour if you try to use both.

e.g. If you log in on wiki. but then access a page via www. (say by clicking on a link posted here) you appear to not be logged in again, which gets a bit confusing.

If anyone is really missing www.wiki and can think of a good reason to put it back, then I might be persuaded ;-)

Might be worth serving a 301 redirect - people tend to type www. in front of everything however many times you tell them.
