So, I'm sitting in San Jose and I wanted to add a redirected URL to my site with a tracking link. I didn't have access to my .htaccess file as it appears that I can't see it using my ftp program (filtered out?). So I tried doing the redirect through my control panel. When I went to visit the highrankings.com site after making the change, there was an internal server error everywhere! Ackkkk!!

I had a feeling if I could reupload my original .htacess file, all would be well, but I didn't have a copy of it on my laptop (which is what started this whole mess). Thankfully, I called home and my daughter Corie was there. She's familiar with ftp, etc., and was able to upload the file for me. When I checked everything was all better. ! :upsidedown: If she wasn't there, Timmy probably could have done it, but it would have taken a little bit more of a walkthrough. I believe he's uploaded files before, however. But if it was just my husband home, I probably would have been on the phone a loooooong time explaining how to do it...

Anyway, all is well now except for the new redirect I was trying to put on...oh well. Did anyone happen to try to log on during the 10 or so minutes I had things messed up?

Yup, about 20 minutes ago. I sent the official "you've got trouble" email to the address the error page suggested.

Whew! So it wasn't just my computer going crazy on me (it does that from time to time...)

Well. That's pretty funny. Forum maintenance as child labor...
