Hi Tony,

You are welcome to put your site onto the computer-chess.org site.

Ron

110mb.com is having problems with their "box #9" and "box #11" servers. I used to be able to log in to view my files, but I can't even do that any more. My login information doesn't seem to be recognized, and the support team seems to be rather curt and useless. If this isn't resolved within a day or so, I have no choice but to move my site to a different host.

Hi Tony,

After a week I was going to email you. I look forward to putting a smiley face when Tony's Chess comes back!

It seems that the Lyapko site on 110mb is also down the same way as yours.

Hi Ron. I just checked my 110mb.com account, and all the Tony's Chess files are still there, but for some reason the content is inaccessible. From what I've read, the 110mb team are relocating a bunch of their servers, and hopefully this issue gets resolved soon. It's quite annoying.
