Server not connecting at all now. None of my bookmarks connect. Wayback has partial pictures. Six months for site revision seems a bit long.

Still works for me, has been working for the last few weeks (well, the few times that I looked anyway).

All working fine for me. There is also a redirect from the redirect URL, which is working fine. However, there isn't one from https://bassic-sax.info/version4/ or https://bassic-sax.info/version3/ These jus throw up the error 404. If your bookmarks point to these you won't get through.

I looked tonight and it seems to be working, but last week it wasn't and months before that it didn't.

I generally don't bother looking at it as it more often doesn't work than does.

Last week I was looking for an article on the "Mythical MkVII baritone" I recall from years ago but couldn't find it anywhere. Guess it's been scrubbed off the face of the earth?

Just tried the redirect. That works. Went to my favorites and opened homepage. That worked. Can open everything from main menu.
Back to favorites list and noticed all the marker icons changed from blue triangle image to orange camera image. Several links show “Maintenance in progress “. Honestly I’ve always found the site difficult to navigate.

As I mentioned in my last post. I’ve always been challenged navigating the website. Especially getting back to articles for reference on another day. That’s a real pain when the bookmarks won’t get you back to an article again. Yeah lots of stuff seems to disappear. I just tried to find the article about the sea melody body differences. Puff of smoke…goner 🙁
