Is anyone else having problems accessing Hobbyeasy? It keeps coming up on Google Chrome as being unable to be found and on Internet explorer as unable to find DNS. Even the link here doesn't work as I get the same answer.
I really want to place another order for some M113's and stuff. It worked last week and I received the order on Friday but for the last couple of days nothing. I'm getting a little paranoid wondering if I've done something to my computer that is stopping it from accessing the page.
Although I did receive a bounce back email when I placed the last order but it still went through. Below is a part copy of one of the emails I received. Has anyone else had this message as well?
TIA, John

I tried the Web address directly and via a link, and neither worked.

I have had this problem with numerous sites, including Hobbyeash and Armorama. I think that they may be doing maintenance. However, I find that if I restart my computer it fixes the problem.

Thanks everyone.
Wedgie, I think it must be an Australian problem. Just tried it on my laptop and had the same results. Julia must have started the web censoring and cause the word easy is there they must have blacklisted it as a porn site
. Only joking.
I had thought it might have been my Nortons causing a problem but it seems okay.
Tried your suggestion Matt but it still has the problem. Must be an ISP problem so I'll contact them.
Hope it gets fixed soon. I'd hate to miss out on the specials I wanted.
Cheers, John

Hi Shane,
I'm with bigpond in Brisbane, who are you with and where? I can access every other site such as Lucky Model, Sprue Brothers, BNA, Brunels etc. I just can't figure out why I can't get Hobbyeasy.
By the way, Love the avatar.

Thanks Shane,
I was able to access it briefly last night (long enough to place my order anyway) but its gone again. I'm starting to think its a government conspiracy brought on by the major retail businesses to stop our internet spending. Paranoid, did someone say paranoid?
I take it your still there and in 1 TP. That's been 1 TP's motto since 94 if I remember correctly. A bastardised quote from the one and only, bigger than life, Gen. G. Patton.
. It's up there with 'Once a Stinger, always a Stinger'.
Cheers, John
