I just noticed that when I try and bring up the MiniArt website, all you get is a cheeky message "It Works !"
Anyone else having the same problem ?

It was down a couple of nights ago when I went there. I thought they had moved their site.

Hi,
It works! is a default page for Apache server sofware to let the administrator know that the Apache is installed and working. The Apache is misconfigured or they are reinstalling the website.

Well, now it links you to the Google Search page.
When you search for MiniArt, it bounces you back to Google again !!

Hi John

I found if I used my old existing bookmark I got Google, but if I did a search and then followed the link to Miniart's site it works. I guess the old bookmark got overwritten in some way.

Here is the link I got and used. Let's see what you get.

Hey Al,
I noticed that the icon for my MiniArt bookmark had changed to one like you see with Google.
Deleted the bookmark and any cookies but I'm still getting redirected to Google.
Very odd, I'll try another search engine.
Cheers

update: just cleared all my cookies again and...................HOORAY, it works !!!!

Looks like everything is back to normal. I assume the next Mini Art release will be the 'Pedestrian Overpass.." ....can't wait to pick up some of their dio stuff....
