August 8, 20214 yr Author So it's not only me then, strange. Did you do anything in particular to fix it, or did the problem fix itself?

August 8, 20214 yr Probably related that the AVSIM.NET domain that Avsim uses for nameservers on the .COM domain has recently expired/renewed. Looks like you just needed to wait for your DNS to update to reflect that change.

August 8, 20214 yr Just now, Bobsk8 said: Well why did it go to a site that looked like the photo at the top of this thread? Because a domain name expired. If you look at the top right it says "Renew domain" and Avsim's domain registrar is Network Solutions.
