Is it just me, or have Ancestry done something overnight?

I have Ancestry as a bookmark, and all I usually do, from Google Chrome, is start to type Anc.. and up comes the connection, and I just hit return and it takes me to the Home page.

No longer, I now can't bring up the Home Page at all, even if I can get into Ancestry via another route.

Why didn't I just ring them in the first place?   It's a problem at their end.  :o :o

Yes, that's basically what I have.  Anyway it's a fault at their end, and they are working on it.
