That did work as you said depasseg. Thanks very much. Can you expand to say how or why it works that way? Can you say how to make that change permanent on the thumb print shown on left side of the web page; otherwise I would need to retype it each time for that one thumb print to open.

However I do thank you especially and all who responded.
Most of the time "wwww.SITE.com" and "SITE.com" go to the same server, but there is no requirement for this.

In this case, www.wolfeborocam.com and wolfeborocam.com (without the www) are going to two different servers (you can tell based on the two different IP addresses):

BRK-Air:~ brk$ ping wolfeborocam.com
PING wolfeborocam.com (69.94.120.79): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 69.94.120.79: icmp_seq=0 ttl=50 time=27.219 ms
64 bytes from 69.94.120.79: icmp_seq=1 ttl=50 time=33.178 ms
^C

2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0.0% packet loss

BRK-Air:~ brk$ ping www.wolfeborocam.com
PING www.wolfeborocam.com (216.71.118.243): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 216.71.118.243: icmp_seq=0 ttl=49 time=22.853 ms

Whoever handles the wolfeborocam.com domain should fix this in DNS and/or tell people linking to the cam to update their links. There isn't anything you can do on your end, the link you're clicking is bad/outdated.
