Hmmm, still getting a 'Page not found' error. Hopefully this will clear up soon. (Just in case anyone wonders, yes I emptied the cache...)

Do you by chance have multiple browsers to try and access it with? Sometimes AOL's browser denies access to material (PHP stuff) and IE is the only way to go.
 

It just started working again when I decided to give it one last try before bed.

Same browser etc. (I use Netscape 7.1 and like it very much.) I had tried it with I.E. and no luck there, then I tried it in both browsers with the accelerator off, again no luck. Then it just started loading like there had never been any problem. Did they change hosts or something?

They probably didn't do anything at all -- it's probably just a routing problem. Routers fail, get bad information, etc. on the net all the time. Sites like, say, Yahoo are hosted at multiple places all over the US and the world so it's very rare you can't be routed to them. Smaller hosts, though, sometimes end up with just one path between you and them (or with certain chokepoints, really), at which point you're out of luck if something is temporarily broken in that chain.
 

Hmmm, I guess I just never ran into a routing problem that lasted that long before.

Part of the reason I was wondering if they had changed hosts was that when I did finally get the page it had a brand new logo.

Alas, the product I was checking on isn't available yet (Arena Works) . I knew it wasn't on RPGNow.com but I was hoping for more information.
