All the usual routes to RE's website seem to be not working - "site unavailable". has been like this for a number of days now. Does anyone know what's happened to it? Or is it just my browser that has a problem?
The public website is given a 403 error, but the private customer website is still up and running. 😀
According to archive.org the public site was last sampled on August 28 so it went down sometime after that. Probably just a snafu.
EDIT: The old url is defunkt

There was a change of domain name from "sound.westhost.com" to "sound-au. com. " Elliott Sound Products - The Audio Pages (Main Index) That will have totally confused your browser as it did mine few days ago. I don't know the reasons for the change but sometimes your own domain is better than hosting.
I went there late last week and got the GOOGLE warning that there was something nefarious going on with the site. I figure he got hacked and hasn't had the time to clean the junk out of there.
Is there much else in this world as disgusting as hackers of websites like Elliott's? What is the point? Sickening.

Please look at the link in post #2 for details directly from Rod Elliot as to what happened to his original site. (It is a hosting related issue.)
Nope, after refreshing the page or retyping the address into the browser, not anymore in Oz and the UK at least.
Google has this to say:
"This site can’t be reached - sound.westhost.com refused to connect"

Hi Guys
Maybe you should move to Canada since it still works here.
Or maybe it is because Oz is one day ahead, and thus you are living in the future, so we should expect to see the same google messages tomorrow? It is still 'yesterday' here today so we ARE living in the past... hehe
Have fun

This is the new address.
I type it in unclickable form so DIY Forum shows the actual text address rather than what the server answers when queried:
http://sound(dot)whsites(dot)net/
which of course will be displayed here as:
Elliott Sound Products - The Audio Pages (Main Index)

Don't know if it's a website/hosting problem, but one article that I'm looking at - Power Amplifier Design Guidelines - has the captions for Figures, but isn't showing the Figures themselves (diagrams, graphs, tables, etc). Does anyone else see this problem?
Not when using the correct link. This happens as well as other crazy things like losing the use of icons if your browser is still trying to open the "sound.au" or "westhost" URLs. Look at the browser link and see if it now reads "http://sound(dot)whsites(dot)net/" .
If not, perhaps you need to sort that. I simply installed a new quick link and deleted the old ones to prevent Google from just reverting to them.
Thanks Ian, but I'm getting same problem with that site - shows titles of Figures (e.g. "Figure 1 - A Current Mirror and Local Feedback Applied To The LTP"), but no diagram is displayed.
My browser is showing "http://sound.whsites.net/amp_design.htm"

your link (Elliott Sound Products - Audio Power Amplifier Design Guidelines) pasted into my browser shows the diagrams.
Thanks evanc. Are you able to see the schematic for Figure 1? perhaps it's one of my browser settings...

I've just tried a couple of other articles, and Figures are showing in them as they should. Must be a browser setting if others can see them in the Amplifier Design article. I'll work on it, but does anyone have any suggestions as to a setting that could affect one article in this way, but not others?

The same software will have been used to write and update the original pages so it seems likely that your problem page is an archive, having outdated software links in it that are not compatible with the current pages. Delete every shortcut/link you have used in the past to access the page and the ESP homepage and start again, typing URLs afresh rather than pasting them in. Perhaps you have saved outdated pages and stumbled on a conflict there.
On restarting, go to the home page then main index and access the page(s) systematically from there. This usually works for me when websites have crashed or been off-line for some time. It shouldn't matter what browser you use but it may help others to follow if you tell us which one(s) you're using. I had both Bing and Google active together for a time and I did find some problems there.
