Web Sites Gone Permanently

The other day I mentioned that some of my web sites were down and it now looks as though it's a permanent thing.

Orange had sent out notifications in July but, as they say in their response to my plea for help, I might not have received them "due to a restrictive spam filter". Does that mean any spam filter, Mr Orange or just those that are worth switching on? Or perhaps you don't consider news about the pending disappearance of web sites important enough to send notification in a way you know has a good chance of reaching your intended recipients?

Grrr!

Anyway I have rehashed the main web index quite drastically and a lot of older pages have disappeared. I'll try to add some of them back in the form of sets of photos at Flickr but don't hold your breath.

Also if you do visit the web sites often please make sure you have bookmarked the Flickr site and this blog as the longevity of the main website must be in question - freeserve was bought out by Wanadoo long ago and in turn they were bought out by Orange a couple of years ago.

So if the main site disappears - please let me know as they probably won't have told me in a way that I'll get to know...

The future's bright... but not "bright" as in clever...

Some Web Sites Down

I'm sorry to have to announce that some of my web sites are down at the moment.

They are all of the sites hosted on Orange's MySite servers. They include the pages covering :

  • our Paris trip in 1999

  • our Austrian Trip of 2000

  • our Amsterdam trip in 2001

  • our Disneyland Paris trip in 2001

  • our cruise around the Canary Isles in 2004

  • Sorrento in 2005

  • our Mediterranean cruise of 2006

  • my Nostalgia site (which I know is a popular one)

  • my London site

  • my Sketches site
I've reported the problem to Orange and am now waiting a resolution. I can still see the files by opening an FTP connection so it must be something to do with the URLs or something.
