FRCLinks down?
 

Hey, I noticed this evening that http://www.frclinks.com/ appears to be down. It's really useful, so does anyone know why it's down right now?

Re: FRCLinks down?
 

Yeah, I'm transferring my domains from GoDaddy to Namecheap, and there's an interruption in the DNS coverage. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Re: FRCLinks down?
 

Should be working again now.

Re: FRCLinks down?
 

Yay! How tight a transfer window did I manage to hit?

Re: FRCLinks down?
 

Not that tight. It was probably down for 2-3 hours.

Re: FRCLinks down?
 

I'm getting a 400 Bad Request error.

Re: FRCLinks down?
 

Hmm, looks like http://www.frclinks.com/ isn't working, but http://frclinks.frclinks.com/ is.

Re: FRCLinks down?
 

Fixed a DNS issue with http://www.frclinks.com. Didn't know people used that one since it's longer to type.

While we've got your attention, cane you make /tba/973/2012 go to the 2012 page (and other years...)?

Aaaaaand.... deployed.

frclinks.com/t/<team> seems to be broken. Use it all the time, but right now its just kicking me to the usfirst.org/whats-going-on page. A while ago it changed to linking to FIRSTs new system (which in my mind isnt as good as the old one).

a clean way to access the old pages like this one: https://my.usfirst.org/myarea/index....8168XuKT145F36

...would be nice too. To get that, I had to go to frclinks.com/e/onto2 and fish the team link off that page.

FIRST's website is broken because going through the what's going on page doesn't work either.

Re: FRCLinks down?
 

Fair enough.

I stand by my view that an frclinks shortcut to the old team pages would still be nice. frclinks.com/ot/4343, perhaps?

Pat should theoretically still have the scraper code that used to get those page id's around, unless FIRSTs changes broke it.

Re: FRCLinks down?
 

FIRST has fixed the issue, though the URL is different now. I've updated frclinks and everything should work as before.
