Working here too now, was a real thing though and not just a figment of my over-tired imagination. Lasted long enough for me to try a few times and make that screengrab

It's odd the way the error message is only displaying half the URL.

Think it's just saying that for "this server" (google.com) it can't resolve the rest of the address ((google.com)/photos/andwhynot)

Hmm, it's ok for me too. You haven't been playing with your host file, have you?

Also see 500px, how are you finding it?

No probs getting into flickr, or my account, but can't blog to my normal blogger account - Flickr says it can't find it, but it's still 100% there and working...weird...

No, didn't adjust anything - including donkey's genitalia.

Signed up to 500px but not using it until they address their privacy/ copyright issues

Not signed up myself yet, but keeping an eye on it.

Try this? (assuming you are using windows)

From the desktop, click start
Select Run
In the Run box, type cmd
Click ok
The DOS window will pop up. At the C:\WINDOWS> prompt type (then press enter):
What comes up?

Mac here.

It wasn't a universal problem. Just affected flickr/ google, as if someone had flicked a giant switch so that any address that began flickr.com/ tried to resolve itself on the google.com/ server.

Nevermind, I know it's not anything I did and whatever it was, it's back to normal now smile
