What Happened?

[RichD]

Yesterday I was unable to get on Home Racing World using my desktop computer with Google Chrome. I seemed to connect to the site, but the screen was entirely blank. When I tried using my tablet everything was OK. Today still no luck with the desktop computer, so I tried my laptop with Windows Edge and got a blank page as well. When I tried the tablet again that was still working, but I noticed that the URL was different. When I typed hrwforum dot com into the address bar of my desktop that worked so I erased the older bookmark and saved the one that works.

Rich, That also happened to me yesterday. I got a hold of Steve and sent me the right URL. Now everything seem to be working.

I was on my PC (running Chrome) all day yesterday and visited the forum numerous times - no problems on my end. The forum URL hasn't changed and there wasn't any maintenance or new software. It's possible there was some sort of vBulletin related issue but when that happens, we generally have a much broader number of users letting us know there was a problem. Interestingly, you are both located in southern CT - if you both use the same Internet Service Provider (ISP), it's possible there was some sort of short-lived ISP related issue (e.g. ISP's domain name server had a problem).

Appreciate the heads up. Not sure what was going on, but all seems well. We have no downtime I can refer to.

Apologies for the snag.

Steve, Mine did say V Bulletin.

I had a similar error briefly yesterday - message said website couldn't be located. The URL listed was ,net not ,com, When I searched for hrwforums.com everything was okay.

I use Firefox and had the site listed in my bookmarks. I couldn't access it yesterday or today. I went to the Facebook page and copied the link from there so now I can get on. I too noticed the difference from the old link was .net now it's .com ?

My link changed to vbullentin something or other. Knew it wasn't right, so I used Google to find HRW, then clicked on the Forums re-did the link and all is well. Hiccup
