Hi Folks

A lot of us over this side of the Pond - definitely mav, Jo and I - have been unable to access AWAD, or rather wordsmith.org, for the last week . Especially, it seems, when our web connections aren't happening via a proxy server.

Yet to establish, but this may not just be a UK problem - could be Europe too. If any non-UK Europeans are getting through OK, please post something on this thread. Thanks.

Clearly it would be nice to know if anyone knows anything about this - I suspect "improved" security on a US-based link server (one at qwest.net, possibly). But why should this only seemingly affect transatlantic connections? Oh, and why is only wordsmith.org/AWAD affected?

Jo has attempted to contact Anu, but he's in Hawaii

Desperate times indeed!

P.S. My current connection is via a proxy server, as I'm at work

STOP PRESS - WE SEEM TO BE BACK!
Thanks for the support, folks.
