I'm thinking this is a very simple process and the owner would be very
happy to route the "www" subdomain to the IP address of the new site.
It takes me about 3 minutes to do this via Network Solutions (it takes
so long because I have to wade my way through their web site) and the
propagation is done within 24 hours. Maybe we can all contact Don; it
seems the registration is through Network Solutions.
What about it, Don? Would you like help?

The u2ug.org web was redirecting to my old hosted provider, which I no longer
use. The change to a new provider - with more capacity - is one step towards
rewriting the site (finally), itself part of a very exciting set of proposals
the board are putting together for the direction in which we wish to be taking
the group.
We will be putting out a release over the next few weeks to the members to
outline our strategy, and I have to say personally I think its a great
direction that David J has encouraged and that will make the group genuinely
more useful to all its members.
Thats the teaser, now you're all going to have to wait - ha, ha!
Now the complication is (isnt there always?) that u2ug.org domain is owned by
one of our members who very kindly looks after this email list. There are no

hope he will also redirect the web traffic to the new site so it remains
consistent, it just hasn't happened yet.

Yeah, I thought .org redirected to .net at one point. I did ask in the
website forum about email (as it's still using .org). I tried to ask Laura
Hirsch why the change was made but was having trouble with my email and I
don't think the question ever got out.
Brian, if it's supposed to redirect - it's not doing it now.
Today's been a good day, but we have a snowfall warning so it may change....

The domain was changed from u2ug.org to u2ug.net. I think the .org was
going to Brian's IP address and is the one that doesn't work. Not sure why
they changed the domain.
Sometimes we all have days like these. :-(
