Is anyone having problems navigating on this site?
http://www.chambersharrap.co.uk/

Clicking any link on the home page returns a "Connection was reset" error".

A few hours ago, even the home page did the same.

DoS attack?

I think I get the site because it's in the browser cache. Must have had a small window of opportunity.
Clinking the above link fails.

Hi Syzzy, I hope you're well and thriving.

I've had probs with the site but it's OK this evening.

One thing which is differrent is that my link used to take me straight to the word wizard (anagram solver) whereas now I have to load the homepage then click on PUZZLES on r.h.s. of page.

Why can't people leave things alone!! Tut tut.

Hi Wendy.

Yes, they changed the access about a month ago so you can't bookmark the WW page. Guess they want you to look at the ads first.

How are the kitties? Totally in charge, I bet.

TJ. 2 steps forward & 1 back, or is it the other way around?

I have this link bookmarked:
http://www.chambers.co.uk/word-wizard.php

It works OK when the site does, which is not often these past few days.

Well done, cornbrash !

That might be a very recent change. I assume you typed in the link.
Thought I tried that initially & it didn't work, but ... whatever.
It does now, & will save a lot of frustration.

That link appears at the bottom left of the page when you hover the mouse over the "Puzzles" menu, but reverts to the homepage in the address bar:
http://www.chambersharrap.co.uk/
when you click an item. In fact, it's still that way.

Good luck with that approach. The menu is rather ephemeral & usually disappears before you can select. Bad programming. Looking at the HTML code, I think there's an 8-second window of opportunity.
However, the link extension is clear.

Anyway, ... link bookmarked, & thank you very much.
