I tried to get on usfsa.org to check the US JGP assignments and got a strange website.

Did US figure skating lose their domain name?

I don't think so. usfsa.org worked for me just now and took me to the usual site. .

That's too weird. I just now got to the "real" site - both by using my favorites bookmark and by typing usfsa.org into the addy box. :scratch:

I bet if you delete your cookies you'd get a different result

I have - this is a brand new computer. :scratch: Even so, I"d rather leave my cookies the way they are as I just got my Icenetwork video capability back. What's not broke I try not to fix. :)

I remember a couple of years ago that the USFSA became dthe USFS. Why the change? I don't think it was given.

I never heard a reason either. But I think that with the name change they may just have let the old domain lapse when it's term was up. Just guessing. Glad you can get there now.

USFigureSkating.org

U.S. Figure Skating Headquarters underwent a change in Internet service providers. One unforeseen consequence of this was the home page being redirected to a DNS login screen. The problem has been resolved, and everything is now back to normal. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

does that mean the USFS will revert to USFSA also?
I kind of liked the "A" dropped. It makes it more like a Fed as in other countries.

Thanks for the clarification. :thumbsup:

ETA: Criminy. Now that it's supposedly fixed, I'm getting the bogus page. Sheese!

Since the actual website is working, it must mean that there is a new virus that is spreading.
Its redirecting internet search results to random or even worse, malicious sites.
