The link didn't work for me!  We have a wolf diary this year (if I didn't have a diary my life would be utter chaos!) so we have the joy of seeing these majestic animals every day of the year.

I'll keep trying the link.

Copy and paste it into your browser address bar.  It should have worked by single clicking but if not then this will work.  It's worth it.

OK, I Yahoo'ed it - http://uk.yhs.search.yahoo.com/avg/search?p=arctic+fws&type=yahoo_avg_hs2-tb-web_uk&fr=yhs-avgb

click this link, then the first link - for arctic fws website, then click site index, then wolf story.  If that doesn't work it must be something on your machine that's stopping it loading and I'm stumped!

The yahoo link worked, but when I clicked the arctic fws link in yahoo I got the same problem.  When I click diagnose the problem it says that everything is fine - so I'm stumped too!

Sounds like it could be a DNS blip with your service.. either poor configuration, or an annoying problem that will sort itself (try again in a day or so).

For now, I've found the google cache for the article, are you able to access this?

If you paste the full correct url into google, there's a reasonable chance they will have visited the page and have taken a local copy of it. You can access that by clicking the "Cached" link which appears toward the end of the info for it. Can be quite useful at times.
