    Yesterday I have installed Firefox 6. Addons added are :flashblock, adblock + and noscript addons.
    Now the weird thing is that today while navigating on this site:

    Is it still doing that right now? Does it do it in any other browser?

    Ok it's solved now, apparently the site accoutn was going to be expired today because of a missed payment. Sorry for the mistake, but I couldn't imagine a site that big could miss a payment to the webhosting service

    Hi

    Type this into your address bar.

    Code:
    208.69.72.110/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1535
    Do you see the correct page ?

    And does just typing the IP address 208.69.72.110 take you to the home page ?

    EDIT:

    It's a shame but bigger sites have failed

    Kind regards

    yes typing the ip address I get the correct page.
    I have cleaned the dns cache to make sure I don't get the wrong page anymore

    That's not the only things which are missed. IBM used to have a toll-free number for technical support / help-desk (as I've seen on their older printed manuals). They no longer have that number, but it's replacement is quite funny.

    Care to try it out ?
    Code:
    dial 1-800-ibm-help (1-800-426-4357)

    ya, free help went out the window with printed documentation.
    Windows assumes the user is an idiot.
    Linux demands proof.
