Default Marlin??

Does anyone know what is happening to marlin website/ emails?

Tried contacting them on several occasions over last couple of days with delivery failure notice every time stating email address does not exist!

So popped onto their website today and I can't access it at all? tried from several links to no avail

Anyone know if the server etc is down

The last I heard from them was on the 18th - they sent out their Xmas email, saying they would be closed until this Monday (05/01).

I can't get to the site either... I assume it's just server issues.

I hope it's just server issues (and nothing more serious)!

Companies house website says they are still trading....so I guess IT issues are to blame?

All links now take you to website for a company called Dance Direct.

Interesting it's run by a web company called Codex. I'm pretty sure this is Marlins Web designer?

Sorry, but I found it funny. It is an IT issue whether on purpose or not. I bet Marlin don't find it funny though. A bit embarassing.

If it was Marlin being bankrupt/quitting or something, the IT company would not usually direct them to another web site. Well shouldn't.

The Marlin URL now displays this when you visit

I guess Codex are plugging the cable back into the correct server, after tripping over it earlier on and yanking it out.

I got an email from Terry today at 18.35, so her email is now back up working again even if the website isn't!
