Did I miss a post about this somewhere or is it just me? When I go to either offsetguitars.com or http://www.offsetguitars.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, I get a "default website page" for an unconfigured web site. Previously this would redirect to the forums.
Now I have to specifically go to http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and then I can access the site.
Do people know about this? I checked other posts and didn't see anyone else mention it.
Main homepage not working?

Re: Main homepage not working?
I had a lot of weirdness yesterday afternoon, 404 pages with a blue background when trying to hit http://www.offsetguitars.com/forums and the default web site page when browsing to http://offsetguitars.com/ (this now works fine) - basically unviewable on this particular laptop.
It was working on my phone's browser though (which is also tied to my wireless router)
Just a wild guess, but I figure the web hosting company may have done maintenance/moved the site and/or had to make a change to DNS which took a while to propagate (and the incorrect/stale DNS data cached on my laptop would've been causing the 404 responses).
Try clearing your browser data and flush the DNS cache on your computer and see if it improves matters at all.

I had exactly the same problem/issue. Confirmed that flushing the cache solves the problem.

Re: Main homepage not working?
Our server moved a couple nights ago and there may still be a few DNS issues as the new IP adress works its way through the system. It was surprisingly quick to filter through for me but you never know what sorta cached bits might be hanging around at various ISPs.
