I don't know.  I got here through the link Derek posted on THR.

Apparently nobody else knows how to get here.  How did you get in?

Derek and Tyme said it's a problem with DNS (the thing that converts the numbers to www.yourwebsite.com) after they upgraded the servers. They were working on it, but no estimate on when it will be fixed. I got here through the link Derek posted on THR.

Yea, looks like a DNS issue.  SamSpade.org gives this back

www.armedpolitesociety.com = [  ]

The [ ] is where there should be an IP address. ie: www.thehighroad.org = [ 209.51.144.70 ]

Weird that the domain servers are listed as belonging to soze.net, of Soze Exotic Drug Imports.  Maybe Verbal Kint is the SysAdmin. Wink

I thought maybe all those pix of us threw the server for a loop. It was probably that non drowned rat one that Barb posted. shocked

Man, I'm glad to hear it. I was afraid the security folks had blocked APS from the Pentagon. I need my daily fix in the Puzzle Palace.

I couldn't get on this site at all for about a week.  No links, I was typing the address into my browser directly.  Oh well, appears to be working now so all is well.  Hope the bugs are all out now.

Aha, it is back up and running.  I was able to access it via the 'back door link' posted on THR, but I was unable to sign in at any time.  I note that today, in accessing it via the original URL, I was automatically signed in.  Excellent.
