Is the Bidding for Travel site down?
Have tried for two days now to get on biddingfortravel.com with no luck. Does anyone know what's up?

That's weird. I get messages that say either the page cannot be displayed (Interenet Explorer) or that the connection was refused (Netscape.)

Yesterday I saw a post on BFT that some ISP's were blocking it erroneously as a spam or scam site, possibly due to their ezboard host site. They said they rere working to fix it.

That must be the problem, because it does say something about ezboard when it is trying to connect to the biddingfortravel.com site. Guess I will just be patient. Thanks for all the responses.

Jayne,

Instead of trying to access it via

http://www.biddingfortravel.com

try using this URL:

http://p070.ezboard.com/bpricelineandexpediabidding

The latter URL is the one that shows up in the Address box when I access it via the former URL. Don't know if that will help, but it's worth a try.

Hope this helps...

Jayne, it most likely has nothing to do with biddingfortravel.com. Try contacting your internet service provider and asking them why you are unable to reach this site with apparently others can (I know I can).

Just so you will know if anyone else has this problem -- it was my firewall blocking the redirect to ezboard, as AJPeabody suggested. We are able to fix it and now I am back on the site.
Thanks again!

I'm having the same problem. It started a couple of weeks ago. How did you fix it?

We disabled the "Filter Internet NAT Redirection" option. I'm no computer expert, but hubby is and that's what he said he did. Hope you figure it out!
