Have I gone batty, or is Content Paradise down... Looks like a case of domain not renewed on time, or not renewed at all?
Can someone else take a peek and confirm they're not seeing it?

I was on just fine checking on what I had purchased just 10 minutes ago....Now, GoDaddy stuff is there and I cannot download my purchases.

This looks like highjacking or their new owner not getting things done...like paying website bills.....I do not know.....

However, I want to download my stuff:(  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mine appears ok so far - looks like we might have some DNS poisoning going on somewhere and it hasn't hit me yet

I had to look it up because I didn't understand what you meant, but, by golly, this is a real term and it has just really upset me.

DNS cache poisoning ### From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Jump to: navigation, search

DNS cache poisoning is a technique that tricks a Domain Name Server (DNS server) into believing it has received authentic information when, in reality, it has not. Once the DNS server has been poisoned, the information is generally cached for a while, spreading the effect of the attack to the users of the server.

Normally, an Internet-connected computer uses a DNS server provided by the computer owner's Internet Service Provider, or ISP. This DNS server generally serves the ISP's own customers only and contains a small amount of DNS information cached by previous users of the server. A poisoning attack on a single ISP DNS server can affect the users serviced directly by the compromised server or indirectly by its downstream server(s) if applicable.

I just WHOIS'd contentparadise.com - owned now  by Smith Micro.

Seems we are going through a simple Ownership / Server / DNS change 
I have done this often - 24 - 48 hours and everthing will be ok.
Notice would have been nice though

jan_scrapper keep your transaction number - in-case stuff get lossed in the transfer.

Good Idea!!   I cannot get in yet, but you sure made me feel better about what is going on!!!

Thank you!

I checked with RC and that is what is going on.
This is all part of the changeover to Smith Micro.
It should be resolved as mentioned , in 24 - 48 hrs.
Guess it depends on how often your ISP updates.

Yes, I agree, Advance Notice sure would have been nice.

That does sound really good.  Ok, now my ISP is AT&T.  Where I moved to 4 months ago in Spring, TX, we HAD to have the new U-verse.  My connection is down more than up, so if I have to wait on them to update, wow....My new dolly, Littlefox's Candy...will be grown up before I get to download her!!!!!  

Ok, I bought at CP because I am tired of double buying stuff at different websites, however....the longer I cannot download my stuff, the longer I am not purchasing from that site anymore except for things only they sell.

I buy too much...call me a Poser addict...I AM one.  :(  

jan_scrapper posted Sat, 01 December 2007 at 7:07 PM

It's up....they heard my threat.....Yippee!!!!!!!!

I am downloading now!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still getting the "GoDaddy" page...:(

Edit: There it is!!

Now...a question....I just opened up an account at CP (before it went down)....awaiting confirmation email. How long does it take for them to send the email so that I can activate my account?

CD2005 posted Sat, 01 December 2007 at 7:50 PM

Can anyone help me? I just want to know when I should be receiving the email from CP to activate my account.

CD2005 posted Sat, 01 December 2007 at 8:28 PM

Nobody can answer this question for me?

Conniekat8 posted Sat, 01 December 2007 at 8:28 PM

I don't think I remember how long it takes.  If it hasn't happened by tomorrow, I'd contact their tech support.
Considering they were changing things today, perhaps something didn't function right.

Thank you so much, ConnieKat8! Is there a number I can call because the email thing doesn't seem to be working. I can't find a link for Customer/Technical Support, either...

Conniekat8 posted Sat, 01 December 2007 at 8:57 PM

I just looked, yes their tech support contact form gives a page not found...
I'd give them a day or two to finish the transition. Hang in there :)
