Start button problems

A colleague sent me a link to two experiments to try out (one happens to use Inquisit 5 and the other Inquisit 6).  Went I press the start button, it downloads Inquisit Player (5 or 6), yet I already had both players installed.  Thinking they might be updates, I dragged them to my Applications folder. When I pressed Start again, it proceeded to download the .dmg files again.  I closed the window, followed the link from the email (opening a new browser window), and the same behavior happened.

Thinking it might be my machine, I tried a different computer.  The same thing happened: instead of launching the experiment, the Start button downloaded the player .dmg file (again, the latest version of player was already installed on that computer).  I thought there might be something wrong with his scripts, so I went to millisecond.com and launched one of my old experiments that I know has worked just fine in the past. Again, the same behavior.

When did you conduct these tests, if I may ask? There was a launch page issue fixed about 50 minutes ago that could be what you were running into. If your tests happened before that, could you please try again now and let me know if the problem persists for you? Thanks.

I tried it again at 1pm Eastern.

P.S. I am unable to reply unless I go to "Edit HTML" and then go "Back to Design"

Okay, at least the last test (1:05 PM Eastern) definitely post-dates the other fix then. We'll take another look at the download issue and get that sorted.

The issue should be resolved now; in case it persists for you or resurfaces, please let me know.
