Thought that I would record this phenomena just for the heck of it. I have nearly zero computer knowledge. So whoever would benefit from this post as a sort of 'heads-up' that something happened can enjoyn the fun.

Approx. 8pm CST, 4-22-08, I attempted to visit the website. The forum page opened to "4-17-08 General Discussions" as the most recent posts available. Nothing that I tried would get me to the current page. Computer re-boot, 'guest' visit, nothing worked. Visiting other forums, I got the present posts. the phenomena was localized to the MCNews forum.

Everything worked fine in the afternoon. Evening was a bust. Currently, its back to what passes for normal around here.

Thanks Jack. There was some gremlin in the system. The animal network supports the other magazines owned by BowTie so it was an all in the family type of thing.

Hi folks. Tonight when I tried to get to the MCN site with the bookmark I usually rely on(http://www.mcnews.com/mcn/), my browser would get redirected to the following page repeatedly:

http://www.animalnetwork.com/?z=18&prvtof=8b2VkUqfXDCVzkFGtgFvK8G%2BFnTMkPuoYXs%3D

I had to cancel the page upload to get past the redirect and sign in. A little tricky, and I'm sure it is unintended. I don't know what is going on, but I thought I should alert you to something screwy in Denmark.
