Has GMPARTSWiKI died?

I keep trying to log on and get the message "404 Not Found"

Not sure what you mean by "log on" but the site seems to work fine for me.

edit: Just went back to see about an account log in... Huh, there is such a thing! I never noticed it before. What benefit is there to creating an account?

Owen, I clicked on your link and got "404 not found". Maybe it's operator error IDK.

I have gotten errors and no access recently too.

If your computer, or more specifically your Virus program has a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and the VPN is turned on when you attempt to go to some websites you get the 404 Error code. The site you are trying to get to thinks your VPN IP address (a phony IP address) is a hacker or a risky connection. I use McAfee Live Safe - it has a VPN option - good to use because it masks your location and real IP address but sometimes another server you are trying to connect to rejects a connection attempt. Hope this helps.

I'm running a mac, no vpn, no virus scan and I've had the same trouble with my old bookmark with /query in the end. just update your bookmark to go to the base website and it should be fine:

Ed Szeliga,
how does it think any ip is phony. don't all windows machines leverage DHCP so ip addy is always changing? No VPN here...been having issues with the site for a few weeks now.

Actually - there are a number of reasons a site won't accept a connection from a VPN address. If their server sees that address too often it may think it is a spam attack - others can ID a VPN connection and refuse it deliberately --- if you are curious, just do a search for "why do some sites reject a VPN connection"...... lots of links and explanations. I have a number of financial accounts - some will reject a VPN others do not..... go figure.

Gotcha. But no VPN here. And seems many folks on various computers having some level of issue with the common denominator being the site.

Sometimes you need to clean the plugs and blow out the pipes.

Er, I mean clear the cache and blow out the cookies.
