I haven't posted on this forum in several years. Searching the forum for "Bridge Reports" didn't yield anything meaningful. So, I'm sorry if this is a repeat (I'm sure that it is). Where has the BrideReports dot com site gone? Has it migrated to a different URL? The link has been dead for at least a month now.
Looks like there was some sort of internal error on their end. I've sent an email to the webmaster email address, hopefully they check that inbox.
Long story short, the site was in limbo after James Baughn (of bridgehunter.com, bridgereports.com, and landmarkhunter.com) died unexpectedly. It was running a very old code base and difficult to support and needed to be transitioned off of the current server. The domains were transferred to the Historic Bridge Foundation, and I'm unsure what happened afterward. The Foundation was working with an outside developer to work on a new website and have all of the content migrated to it, but then I think the existing website crashed and could not be revived.
You can still access all three sites from their last archived date in March of 2023 on archive.org, but certain features will not be available. Bridgehunter.com is partially back online (I will reserve my thoughts on its design and workings for another day), while the other two are of lower priority and will come back up as time permits.

Thanks very much for the info. Sorry to hear about Mr Baughn's death. It was a site that I visited regularly. Sort of s***s not having it around. C'est la vie.

Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that I had already tried that. I believe that your e-mail will bounce back.

No bounceback in my inbox.
