Went over our site URL details, Navigation, tried different browsers, clear cache, logged in and out and could NOT make sense of it. Site was up, htaccess file (briefly) zeroed. Still these maddening access issues.

And then everything cleared up... as if it had never happened. Which feels worse, as I'm sure you can relate.

Fast forward to this morning, checking site stats and there I see 2 domains listed. One is our regular site, and the second has (SSL) following. And suddenly the lights go on in this vaguely technical brain.

/rant It would appear that our site provider (URLJet) has begun transitioning our site, and that the gremlins two weeks ago were the result. No heads-up, no communication, just me and another member of the forum banging our heads for 2 days. I'd pay money to get someone from URLJet in my hands and shake them until their teeth rattled.

I have no doubt that URLJet has good intentions, but the lack of notice is maddening, and it's not the first time. Off to find out what our situation is. /rant off
They switched your site to https:// without telling you? That is awful because many internal things need to be done when switching..

Be sure to create a new webmaster tools account in google for the new url..
