I did too in March. I had saved it as a favorite but usually just googled and typed "Secretary of State" Illinois. (Much faster to type than to scroll down through Favorites. I KNOW there must be fast ways to use Favorites but I'm computer illiterate.) Anyway, at the Illinois Historical Society Symposium, I talked to the speakers who came from the Archives. Since we could access the site from Illinois College, we decided it must be my computer. My husband had recently updated Norton or something. We thought that maybe a setting had changed at that time. Well, I kept typing in the website name, the above google, etc. Nothing! One day in mid June, as I scrolled through Favorites, I clicked on the Archives site. Yeah! It worked. I have no idea why. At the Archives a couple of days later, I ran into one of the speakers, who had tried to help me at the symposium. Nothing had been changed on their end. I! will contact her and tell her how to check your message on this message board. If I were you, I'd contact David A Joens, Director of the Archives, at 217-782-3492. As you may know, the folks at the Archives are very helpful. They were genuinely concerned that I was having problems reaching the website. If there are others who have a similar problem, I imagine that they would want to know so they can check on it. Hope this helps.
