Hi, Does anyone know what's happening with the IFHAA and its website? I know it moved to Rootsweb, but ever since, it's been impossible to access any of its pages. If I click on a link from the index page, such as surname interests, it shows the URL as it should: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ifhaa/ifhaa/mri/surname.htm or http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ifhaa/ifhaa/maillist.htm or whatever, but then the URL automatically changes itself to another URL: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ifhaa/_themes/clearday/clea1011.css and displays the (most frustrating!!) message: Not Found The requested URL /~ifhaa/_themes/clearday/clea1011.css was not found on this server. This seems to happen to me on *all* links from the index page. i.e. I can't get anywhere on this site any more!! (Using Netscape Navigator 4.75 - don't know if that makes any difference.) Not only that, but I've been periodically e-mailing Scott Brown - who I thought was in charge of IFHAA/the site - since June of 2002 asking for my address to be changed in the IFHAA listings but I am unable to get any sort of response from him. It's *useless* having a dead e-mail address listed, and useless having what could and should be a great Aussie genealogical resource that doesn't work. Does anyone know why this site has been allowed to come to this, or why Scott no longer answers e-mail? I contacted Peter Larsen, who was listed on the site as a person connected with the admin, and he tells me he hasn't had anything to do with it for several years, and has even tried asking Rootsweb if they could help remove him but they said no they couldn't do anything. I seem to remember there were other people on this list who *may* have had some connection with the running of IFHAA, (but I may be wrong) but that was a few years ago, so that is why I'm startingn by asking here. Can anyone throw any light on this shemozzle? Thanks Pam An Aussie transplanted to Rotorua, NZ.
