Larry,
Thanks for the advice - we didn't catch the relative pathing issue until too
late :-(
Here's the update, though...
UPDATE: The domain name registration authority informed us that due to recent
changes in the administrative control of internet domain names, there was an
error with the record for SeriousCollector.com, among others. Previously,
changes to a record took place in a matter of minutes. This change requires
deletion of the old record and insertion of the new record into the
registration database. The set to be processed last Friday (including ours)
were deleted Friday at 7:00 EDT, but will not be re-inserted until 7:00 EDT
today: Monday, May 3rd. The site should be universally accessible by Tuesday
morning, and commerce will resume at 12:00 noon PDT. Auction lots will be reset
to adjust for the outage. Our sincere apologies for this inconvenience.
-The Serious Collector
