#1 Post by Sylvander »

Does anyone know how to fix this?

It is now blank; no longer displays.

Probably the web site is down for some reason.

This one works.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected :shock:

The puppy.b0x.me website hasn't worked for months.
Perhaps it's out of business.

Using the search page you linked:
a. I tried to search the Puppy forums for "Puli", and it succeeded. :D
b. Tried to search puppy.b0x.me for "Puli", and got a blank screen. :?

I guess I'll use your suggested search page from now on.

My guess is that the original domain registration has expired.....and whoever has that domain simply can't be bothered with it any more. Thus, the domain won't be renewed.....and will be up for sale, or re-assignment.

Happens all the time.


Mike. :wink:

dejan555 wasn't able to renew the hosting/domain, so the site is no longer there.

I don't understand how such things work, but...

Is it possible the service will be restored at some future time?
In a different domain?

You'd have to ask dejan555 that, really. Anyone else would just be speculating. :)

Hi All,

This will work, as long as there's a Google: https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=015995643 ... #gsc.tab=0.

Worth bookmarking. I have it on speed-dial. Thank Geoffrey for discovering it: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 315#759315.

All I get is a [general] Google search box, on an otherwise blank page...
Doesn't say it will search only the Puppy Forums.
I don't like using Google searches unless I'm forced, and so far I've never been forced.
I normally use https://www.ixquick.com/ for general searches.
