No, it’s actually the fault of The Clenis.

No – water pump’s in back. I can tell cuz that’s where the screamingly-loud grinding sound I pretended not to hear is coming from. (And I’ve changed it before, years ago.) The alternator may have to come out just to get to the tensioner. Not sure. Gonna do it tomorrow.

P.S. I can’t believe I actually just used Sadly, No!/AutoHelp.com. What’s that thing the kids do? Oh yeah: BWAAAAAAAAA…

P.S.S. Les, check the comment 3 above yours.

OK, if this is the default site from now on, somebody gotta change that f’n picture. Thom, I’m not totally sure, but isn’t the water pump built onto the front of the block? I don’t think the alternator needs to move; and hopefully the fan comes out without trashing the radiator. ‘Murcan mobiles aren’t really made to be worked on tho–just get another one!

Djur’s link works, but I’m still getting the old stuff when I go to sadlyno.com.

My guess is proxy servers that have a long TTL for these DNS entries. Thye may be breaking the TTL specification or the old hosters DNScould have a long TTL that has not timed out. If it’s set for a week, things should resolve by Sunday.

Sucks, tho.

This can actually be pretty useful.

I’ve got a 1993 Ford Tempo with a bad water pump. Do I have to take the alternator out to get to it? And do the gaskets need sealant?

Thanks.

Seems to work fine on my work Mac. When I get home I’ll check it on my pc just to be sure.

Hm, I have an idea. Could someone suffering the Groundhog Day issue try this link? It should show the current, up-to-date homepage. That will narrow it down some.

You know, this could eventually become a new Epic Zombie Thread. But we've got a lot of work to do. Additionally, S,N! seems to be working fine on my computer(s).

click start, chose ‘run’, type in ‘cmd’

In the resulting command window, ipconfig /flushdns

Just don’t forget about the hosts file change. That is easily something that would slip your mind and then when you can’t access the site at all…perhaps they change IPs again down the road…you will never remember that you did that. I thought of that fix too but refrained from saying anything for precisely that reason.

Also, be careful. Many anti-spyware/anti-virus programs will either lock the hosts file, or interpret changes to that file as an adversarial act. It’s possible all you would need to do is remove the read-only property from the file, and ideally, a good security program would allow an override and/or be able to tell it was you and not a virus doing the editing, but there are a lot of stupid security programs out there.

It’s definitely NOT a DNS issue. I can see the posts by RSS feed, and I can go directly TO those posts (for instance, try clicking on http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/15030.html). However, I still get this post on the front page.
