    Ehhh, there was no data loss of any kind. Try clearing all your temporary internet files and reconnecting.

    Ok sorry I havent put my clock and droped my resolution but Youll just haev to trust me - I cleared my cache.
    The date at the top reads 16th Feb!
    Im using opera 6, Im in Germany on a University connection but as far as I know we dont have a cacheing proxy server - and Ive looked at the readyroom many times since the 16th. Its an excelent site and I miss it.

    If it help I get the same thing, which can't be down to the cache since i've only been around since late February... meaning I never saw the news that I can see now but that's dated the 16th.

    Mu, your not going crazy.

    Hmmmm - the behavior is very representative of proxy caching though. Weird. What IP address do you get when you ping <b>readyroom.org</b> ?

    Hmmm... that is the new and correct IP address. Mu, your ISP is definitely dealing you some weird info. You might try clearing your local DNS cache by stoppping and starting your DNS client service.

    Well, I officially need to do some research with my host. Here's a workaround to tide you over:

    1. Go to <a href="http://www.megaproxy.com" target="_blank">MegaProxy.com</a>.

    2. Type <b>www.readyroom.org</b> in the 'Address' field and click the 'surf' button.

    3. Agree to the terms of service

    4. Read the correct page that isn't being jacked up by your network provider, and laugh at MonsE's witty humor while marvelling at his PR skills.

    Damn it was the local DNS cache, its working perfectly in all respects, I guess I should give this computer a little rest now, its been up now for at least a week, thats got to be some kind of record for a graphics machine I put together out of cheap part with the money left over from last years buget, Im lucky If the server stays up that long <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Cool - there's another workaround. If you have not rebooted in the past few days, that may fix your issue. So will stopping and starting your DNS client service (for NT/2000/XP) users.

    Who's next?

    Ooook, so take a look above at how you can work around this until your ISP catches up.

    oi, when I go to 216.74.122.111 or 66.162.73.13 it brings me to that HostRocket SPAM Policy thingy.

    Alright, I use Bell Ottawa Sympatico DSL and I have no clue how to fix this without going to MegaProxy.com everyday. I don't think I have a local DNS cache...

    Oh btw MonsE, sorry about getting all ###### on sunday...

    No worries - I figured you were just wound up. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    What OS you using, Tzar? You can't reach the pages via the IP, as my host blocks that in order to prevent using the IP's as spam relay points.

    The problem is, your ISP uses proxy caching and has gotten an older page lodged in it's system. Until they catch up with my new DNS information, and force a refresh, you're stuck with MegaProxy...
