| I've been trying to look up a few things on IBDB.com but it seems to be down. The main page appears but the search function times out with "This Site Can't Be Reached". Anyone have insight on what's going on? | |

| I just went there now to test it in Mac Safari. It's slow, but working. The text pages load in about 15 or 20 seconds, while images may take a minute or two to appear. | |

| I've been having trouble for a few days as well. I find that if I do a search for a page there using duckduckgo (I rarely use google anymore), that works. I put in the search terms and add ibdb. But I hope they fix things soon. Even though I bitch about the many errors on ibdb, I still use it (and sometimes I use it a lot). | |

| For all the pre WW2 shows for which IBDB lists names of actor, but not characters played, I have offered to send the information, I believe I have access to records with which fill in the blanks on 85-90% of these shows. No one gets back to me. That said - REDHEAD is one of my favorite more or less forgotten musicals - while checking out a cast member on IBDB a couple of years ago, I noticed that on the Awards tab for REDHEAD, they listed Leonard Stone as a nominee for Best Featured Actor in a Musical in 1959. I knew he had actually won that award. I dug up the morning after NY Times article about those 1959 Tonys at the Waldorf-Astoria - and found that there had been a tie in the category that year... Russel Nype won for GOLDILOCKS, and Leonard Stone also won, for REDHEAD. It was kind of a big deal at the time. (The League had also published a book about the Tonys, in which they already had acknowledged Mr Stone as a winner) I contacted IBDB, and sent them the NY Times clip, and suggested that they correct the listing, and identify Mr Stone as a Tony Winner for REDHEAD, not a nominee. It took almost two months for the correction to be made. |

| I've sent simple corrections that were made quickly, but I do wish they'd take you and others up on completing some of the missing information. | |

| I was using Chrome. I just switched to Firefox and it works, but it's very slow. I don't have Explorer on my machine anymore. At least I can now check a couple of things. Thanks! | |
