Palemoon and Firefox both just tell me there is a problem.
Opera gives me the message: "www.thepoachedegg.net redirected you
too many times."

Say what?



1. You already know what a redirection is. For example, you enter the URL
http://www.forteinc.com/
into your web browser, and it redirects you to another URL
http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php

2. You already also know that on some web sites, when you try to go to a
page that is missing, the web site redirects you to a different page
which may say something like "ooops, what were you looking for?".

3. Now think what tries to happen when the "ooops" page is also missing.
The web site will redirect you a second time to the "ooops" page,
and a third time, and a fourth time, and so on and so on and so on.

Eventually your web browser will figure out that this is going nowhere
and will tell you that the web site "redirected you too many times".

Often this means the website owners are doing work on the web site
and it will be back to normal in either a few hours or a few weeks.
