I haven't been able to pull up the Xyston website for a month now. Did I miss some news or is something fubar'd on my end? |

I was all over it today, in fact. Great pictures of the figures. I wanted to see if the Thessalian cavalry had the little "sombreros". :D |

Well, nuts. It's something messed up on my end. I can now view it on my phone, but not my home computer and that's the only site I have issues with, to my knowledge. Time to google fixes… |

I tried Opera and no dice… I can view the site through a proxy called kproxy.com in both browsers, but I'm not sure what that means as far as fixes go. |

Hmm, what error do you get when you try to visit the site? Does your request just time out? Since you can access the site through a proxy, it almost sounds like your IP-number has been banned, either by Xyston or maybe their host server. (???) |

It just times out giving the generic error that either I'm not connected to the internet or the website is having problems. I read somewhere awhile ago that there was a problem with new browsers (particularly IE7) sending a string that was too long to be read by some servers. I ran the fix for that and it didn't cure the problem. It does sound like my IP has been banned. This a new connection after my move and I didn't have this problem before that. |

I admit that it's very rare, but if it's a ban, then usually it's the entire domain and not specific IP-numbers. I would suggest that you drop an email to Xyston and ask them. |
