I have the website bookmarked. Today it took me to something that looked odd ~ something about IIS7. I googled hawaii library and clicked the resulting link and it took me to the same thing. It does not look like the library webpage. Is this some odd form of hijacking or is this really the State Library's new webpage? I'm afeared to click anything in case it will download something bad.

Re: Hawaii Library Website
Since the library is run out of DOE, maybe the webmaster got furloughed?
Seriously, I use that site almost every day, and that does look strange. It's not helpful that when you hover over the English "Welcome" you get a numbered link rather than one in plain language. -
Re: Hawaii Library Website
Are you guys talking about HawaiiLibraries.org?
Definitely looks wrong. It's an Internet Explorer 7 promo graphic with an affiliate link to download the browser, but it appears even if you load the site in Internet Explorer 7. Old links, like to library locations, are broken.
WHOIS says the domain name was updated on Nov. 16, 2009. Was the site working as expected more recently than that?
The weird thing is, it looks like the Horizon search system is still running.
If not a hack, either they're moving servers or lost the domain.Comment

I thought the furlough policy applied to employees, not to websites...Originally posted by Adri View Post

Re: Hawaii Library Website
Is it just me, then? I don't have trouble with any other website I tried but when I try the library website (yesterday and just a few seconds ago), I get this message:
500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.Comment
