Problems with Matrix Forums?

I'm not having any problems accessing Matrix today or last night - but I am getting emails from number of people saying they cannot access - are there any people who have had intermittent issues? Is Matrix making any changes? Again, I have had zero issues - but I am hearing reports from multiple people who are having issues.

I was unable to establish a connection to the Matrix website during almost all the day
(10 am european time until now)
The connection went to a Matrix game site which has nothing to do with this one.

It's OK now (17:00 GMT) but I couldn't access Matrix from at 08:00 GMT until about an hour ago. A site wanting to sell the URL but advertising wargames came up instead.

Some people are ending up at Network Solutions telling them that the domain name registration has expired and it needs to be re-registered.

Directed to network solutions site for about 30 minutes but it seems to have worked itself out.

That's exactly what happened to me this morning. I just worked on a turn instead and now it works.

Interesting - so sounds like some people are getting redirected to other sites - but not everyone.
So far anyway (knock knock) I have had zero issues last night and today getting to Matrix.

Happened to me. I was redirected and it gave me its home page. Don't know how that happened. I thought something was wrong with the matrix site.

No acute problem. However, I have had the same problem for years that I've heard others complain about.
Basically, for a few minutes at a time the forum does not respond. Particular problem when trying to submit a post, attach a file, etc.
I know the problem is not on this end because I've experienced it for so long that I have by now changed computers, houses, service providers, and even states. I've presumed it is something on the Matrix end or their service provider.
EDIT: This very post (prior to editing) took 3 minutes 'waiting for matrixgames.com' to post after I hit 'OK'.
I should also point out that I have no such problems with any other sites whatsoever.

I've had that problem very intermittently myself. I attribute it to a temporary high level of server activity. It used to happen more often - now I only experience it about once every 3 months. When it used to happen more often, I got into the habit of composing my longer posts in note pad and then cut/paste to matrix, but dramatic reduction in issues over the past 18 months has gotten me "lazy"again - so I lost one post a few weeks ago. But problem does not happen to me very often since about 18 months ago.

I had problems earlier today and I also got an e-mail from Rev Rick who was having problems too. Same redirect to a site offering the domain or whatever. Obviously better now.

I had the same problem during the day.
Maybe dns resolution issue of the host?
