Title: kentarchaeology.org.uk ?
Post by: jane k on Thursday 12 July 12 19:46 BST (UK)
I was looking at this site a couple of days ago but today it is saying the site has been disabled.  Any ideas why and is it likely to be permanent?

The site is still unavailable  :-[

Perhaps they are updating it.

Meanwhile you could try

The KAS site webmaster posted a message on the Kent Family History email group list earlier this week:

"For some unknown reason our website is down at the moment.

Hopefully service will be resumed shortly (fingers and toes crossed).

But do not despair. If you are searching using Google and discover a link to our website. Instead of clicking on the link, move your curser to the end of the line and a double headed arrow with appear and and an image of the webpage will appear.

Move your curser to the top of the image and click on the word ‘cached’ and you will be taken to the image held on Google’s server."

All I'm getting is when I click on the cache link is

404. That’s an error.

The requested URL /search?q=cache:6FzilgmoYDgJ:kentarchaeology.org.uk/Research/Libr/MIs/MIslist.htm+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&client=firefox-a was not found on this server. That’s all we know.   

Hopefully it will be back soon  :(

Just to keep people informed I'm passing on this message from the KAS webmaster that he has just issued:

"I regret to inform you that the Kent Archaeological Society’s website at www.kentarchaeology.org.uk is still down.

Our web hosting provider has let us down badly and we are in the process of recovering the URL (kentarchaeology.org.uk) and it transferring to another web hosting service.

It is unlikely that it will back up much before the end of next week.

Regrettably the trick of using Google “cache memory” to view pages, that I told you about last week no longer works, as the Google search procedure has since searched all the pages previously held and found them empty.

I can assure that we are doing everything possible to reinstate this useful resources so popular with family historians as soon as we can."

It's all working fine now.  :)

A big thank you for those working behind the scenes to sort things out.
