What's up with that other site?

Anyone know why the vbax site has only advertising on it now? Dave

The VBAX site was down while they were switching to a new server the other day - I suspect it didn't go well.

Thanks Rory. It just seemed like the address/site had been hijacked by some ad agency. I'll wait and see what happens. Dave

Just has a dodgy start page at the moment you can still get to the excel page...

NdNoviceHlp see your pm

 

[NdNoviceHlp]

Thanks Mark. It seems that the repair is a work in progress. I will continue to wait. Dave

NdNovice - are you sure you aren't accessing a cached page? Either in your browser (CTRL+F5 might force a refresh) or at your isp (nothing you can do about that except wait for them)? The site appears to be up to me and has been for a couple of days.

Doesn't work for me.

I have an adblocker running so see very little at all on any of its pages other than a copyright notice and this boilerplate:

The Sponsored Listings displayed above are served automatically by a third party. Neither the service provider nor the domain owner maintain any relationship with the advertisers. In case of trademark issues please contact the domain owner directly (contact information can be found in whois).

*ugh* you're just trying to make me go there!

I'm running adblocker too and I can see the page. Earlier this week, it was a yellow generic ads page.. like when a website doesn't have page anymore. Not exactly the "buy this domain" - but close.

I've tried on different browsers and PCs.. comes up fine...
Tried it on my phone, too (using Data, not wifi, so different isp server) - site comes up proper.

I'm thinking your isps need to update their caches.. it happens.

Working fine for me - Chrome or IE

Thanks for all the replies... sorry for the pain Starl. I'm guessing this will sort it self out eventually. I can now randomly access the forum but have been unable to actually access any of the threads. It's not the end of the world. I only posted this thread to find out it the site was done for good. I guess I'll continue to occassionally squander some time looking at ads until things at VBAX return to normal. Dave
