I've tried Firefox/Chrome, a different router and wireless/wired connections, and another computer on the same connection (which does load SD), but my computer just won't load slickdeals. It responds to ping attempts, and pinging the IP shows the exact same pings as pinging the website, but it just won't load on this machine. Anyone know what I can do?

It's slickdeals.net. I know the website works; I tested with my laptop on the same connection and it shows up. There's something wrong with my desktop that won't load the page in a web browser, though.

EDIT: What the effffff, it wouldn't work all night, and right when I posted this thread it started working again.

Yikes. I have no idea. You can get to other sites just fine on that computer?

If it makes you feel any better, it works fine for me. :p

They got new servers, thus the temporary redirect to www3. There's an announcement on the forums. It's back to normal for me now.

We are in the process of moving our servers. You will be temporarily redirected to www3.slickdeals.net and various *3.slickdeals.net sites. Once your DNS servers update, the url will will be back to normal.
