John_Hughes Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 For very many years now I've been checking the unofficial WHR website at isengard.co.uk. Back on August 16th the webmaster announced that there would be no more posts until the 28th of that month as he was on holiday; but in fact there have been no more posts at all, and now the site seems to have disappeared completely. Does anyone know the story? The site would certainly be sadly missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Hughes Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 It's still there and has seen an update on Superpower this morning after previous updates since Barrie returned from the north-west corner of Wales. So, the issue is at your end. Very strange - I still get the same website not available or request timed out messages regardless of which browser I'm using on any of two PCs running XP and W7 respectively, an Android tablet or an Android phone - none of them will connect. I'm assuming that the address is still the same? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_Hughes Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks to all for the help! Finally nailed it last night - it now demands the www in front of the name, which it never did before. Strange! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaScala Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I miss Barrie's posts. I imagine the official "Inside Motion" has cramped him for content recently. I do hope he is OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very relieved to hear it.
