Does anybody know what happened to the UK Penturners forum? It's been down for several days now.

Jim - on your PC, close your browser, clear your cache, cookies and history, and try again. I promise you the site is up and running, and firing on all cylinders.
From your phone, enable wifi then go to site. If you get an error page, from that page go to somewhere that is bound to let you in, such as googles home page. From there , type in the full address www.penturners.co.uk - don't allow the phone to complete the address for you. You may find that will work for you.
There was a change of ownership recently in which the DNS records changes. The server was moved to a new provider.
It appears that the problem is the reverse lookup record. You can manually add a hosts entry to clear up the problem for the time being.

Another thing to try is to change your DNS record lookup to 8.8.8.8 (public google DNS) and try that.
