It's great that it's back up and running. Just need to get the new domain out there.

Thanks, @TalonRider.  It's great to have AD back up and running.  I appreciate you taking the time to send a link to the new domain! I edited my bookmark and checked out to see what's new.

I did run across a glitch when I checked out Sequoya's homepage on AD. I got to the page OK, but trying to use either of the two links on that page to get back to the AD home page wasn't possible. Both links are to the old domain.  Whoever can edit the links may have a big project ahead of them if this affects the works of all authors on the site.

The forum part is fine. It's the story collection with an access issue.

They should be back soon! They have moved from a dot-com to a dot-org and have to undergo the DNS propagation phase now.

Changing all the links is a big job. More interested in getting the site back up and running. 

Getting the link changed on other story websites, and getting the word about was deemed to be important as well.

I agree with both your statements about getting up the website and getting out the word of the new domain as vastly more important than imbedded links in the site, @chris191070. 

The only correction to your statement is the link I had a problem with was an internal navigation link to pages within the website, not other story websites.

At least you knew I meant internal navigation.

True, I did.

Regarding the internal navigation issues, the stories formerly on Codeysworld dot com now have different addresses in the revised domain.  Those links are being updated, and eventually all of them should work again.

A big thank you to John (Alien Son) and the rest of the crew at AD for working on this large task.

Codey's world has its own domain again, and a new starting address.  The new address for Codeysworld is --

codeysworld dot org instead of dot com.

Do NOT confuse codeysworld dot org with  codysworld dot com.  They are NOT the same.

codeysworld.com produces a very scary message   

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access this resource.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

[ReaderPaul]

Almost all of codeysworld dot com has moved to codeysworld dot org --

But there is a different site called codysworld dot com which was never related to codeysworld.

When codeysworld dot org expired -- John (author Alien Son) was able to grab the domain registration, and share the hosting credentials with Rutabaga and then Rutabaga redid the codeysworld dot com links to the new codeysworld dot org address.
