Comment on dA Popularity Index Calculator by SiNg0d
Okay, for all the people complaining that it is broken, let me remind you why:
A couple of years back deviantArt officially stopped supporting Internet Explorer 8.0. Any program/browser-client identifying itself as IE8 now automatically receives a CONNECTION REFUSED response header from the website. This tool was written using Microsoft Visual Studio. Any .NET browser is based in Internet Explorer, with the version dependent on the version of Visual Studio you are using.
Thus this tool identifies itself as IE8 and has the door slammed in its face by deviantArt.
Personally, I hope that SiNg0d will either update this using a newer version of Visual Studio (thus browser-client version IE9-IE11) or use an alternative method for fetching stats pages from deviantArt.
Alternately, he could simply create a version where you type the values in.
