A few suggestions:

  • Do not use contractions in title/heading
  • I could be just missing something, but is there really a case where the malformedURI message will appear such that the address bar will contain unescaped backslashes ot spaces?
  • Don't ask user to speculate. Questions like "Is your computer..." and "Do you have access..." sound fine, but:
    • "Could the site be temporarily unavailable?" -> "The site may be temporarily unavailable."
    • "Could the file have been moved, renamed or deleted?" -> "The file may have been moved, renamed or deleted."

Tuukka:

  1. Contractions were used because it reads a little friendlier / less formal than "Can not" or "is not". I know that style guides discourage it, but when I was putting these together last night, it just seemed so heavy to have "Can not". Let me mull that a bit.
  2. Agree 100%, and will change.
