My Images Have Disappeared - Never mind...Got It Fixed

[Bill Havins]

Well, it would appear someone attempted to steal my internet domain, "havinsdesigns.com."  So, the folks at ICANN "suspended" the domain.  That means all of the images I have posted on this forum are currently unavailable.  Sorry!

We'll see how this works out.  Or not.

Got it fixed!  As it turns out, my account information included an old email address and telephone number.  When my domain registrar could not reach me at the old address/phone number they had to "pull the plug" (consistent with ICANN rules).

I communicated with ICANN and began to explore the issue myself (while ICANN worked from their end).  I saw the old info (at least six years old), updated it and, poof! - Back online.  Magic.

I posted this here because I was concerned about the missing photos in my posts.  My domain registrar had sent an email to a seldom-used email address making it sound like an attempt had been made to "reassign ownership" by an unauthorized person (the Chinese actually attempted that on my site several years ago - amazing, but true).

Since I host the photos in the directory of my web site I figured it was my problem to solve if I wanted them visible again.  At least I didn't break any teeth while I was gritting them.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program....
