Glitch Was the site down 7/16/2010

I haven't been able to get into the site today until now 2:47 pm central. Instead I was getting a link farm to religious sites. I'm on comcast using Flamingvixen Latest version.

If you wanna live life on your own terms, gotta be willing to crash and burn.

Sorry, that second sentence is a link to a thread where EHellDame is explaining what happened to the site today.  :-[

Yes there is.  Here's the comment from EHellDame from it:

Quote
I 've figured it out!  The domain renewal was due yesterday and it used to be automatically billed and paid these past years but the hosting provider has changed his client interface and apparently this payment did not occur yesterday.  So, when payment was not made, the system automatically began to take down the site. Access or non-access is sporadic because it's propagating through various DNS servers.  

Everything should be back to normal within a few hours.

Sorry, it took some looking around for me to find the thread you were referring to, and no, I was not able to figure out that part of the sentence was a link.   ::)  There are reasons why DH sometimes calls me "captain oblivious".   ::)

 :) 'Sall right.  I should have done like Dotty and just quoted the answer, instead of being lazy and just posting a link.

Well, now you've learned your lesson, missy.  Everyone should ALWAYS strive to "do like Dotty"! ;)  I am the Queen of the Universe, you know!
