Is Ashford dead?

They’ve been down for at least a week.

The owners are a bit shady in my opinion. I wouldn’t be surprised if they went bankrupt and are selling the company as functional at top dollar, like they repeatedly do, leaving the company and the new owner in the ashes to burn.

Thoughts?

The site seems to be working for me.

I haven't heard or seen anything regarding financial troubles, but I also haven't been paying attention either.

How strange. It's coming up on all my devices.

That NSURL error usually happens when the device is attempting to retrieve data while on a voice call and is in a situation where data and voice is not possible, but you're connected to WiFi, so that can't be it.

Have you tried turning your devices off and back on?

Delete cache/cookies?
Flush DNS?

I am on iOS devices and not surprised by anything that is screwed up or doesn’t work. Apple sucks at everything except hype.

I deleted Safari data and it didn’t do anything. I turned wifi off and I see the website. How could wifi cause it to not work? ISP blocking a watch site?

Edit - For what it’s worth, I also cannot access my wifi router. I have no idea why but when I try the address it just hangs. The service is a 1Gb service from “Ben Lomand” which is a local provider here in central TN.

Probably not. If it's working over WiFi on non-iOS devices, I'd assume the issue lies somewhere with iOS.

My next step would be to power cycle the device and the router. Turn the iOS device off, then unplug the router for 30-60 seconds, then plug it back in. Once it's back up and active, turn the iOS device back on.

We don’t have any non-iOS devices. My PC is in storage. I’m on my iPad and iPhone.

Tried and didn’t fix. My iPhone and iPad both won’t reach the site. I have a 1Gb service that has been pretty much flawless. I may call them and ask what’s going on, but I doubt they’ll have an answer.

I just “Reset Network Settings” on the iPad and no good.

My hunch is they'd tell you to do what I mentioned or to contact Apple.

Right.

I turned off VPN. Set DNS to manual. Hard reset, etc. I have not seen this with a single other website. Really odd.

Recalls to mind my first contact with Apple computers at the lab in college. I would invariably get tangled up somehow, sometimes to the point where I gave up and manually power cycled the machine (couldn't even find the effing power switch! I might have unplugged it). Another time in college a Mac totally scrambled a report I was working on during a timed contest. The auto-save saved the scrambled report over the good one -- brilliant! Maybe that's why I am generally leery of automation.

Nope. I can’t replicate it with any other website either.

Your screenshot shows a padlock...meaning safari is trying to authenticate using secure protocol. Perhaps nanually typing in the full address? http://www.ashford.com

Still nada. This one is over my head. I usually can figure out these kinds of issues. [emoji2369]
