Hi, everybody - I haven't been here in such a long time!
So, when I clicked on the Computer Haven Icon on my desktop (that I always used in the past to come here), it took me here: http://computerhaven.info/forum/
I finally found the correct place again by googling "What happened to Computer Haven?"
So I wonder what happened to my CH Icon?

Well HI and welcome back! :) If you were still linked to the dot info address I'm sure that the site looks a bit different to you. ;)

Computer Haven used to hold both the domains involving dot info and dot com. Computer Haven now is just under a dot com domain.

There was nothing wrong with your link to the site, the site domain just changed in the aspect that the dot info was dropped.

What you saw at the dot info address is what is called a 'parked domain'. This is a case where when the dot info domain was dropped someone grabbed it to use for advertising. This could be an individual or, too often, done by the hosting company that used to hold the site. I have also seen references that the domain registrar (the company that holds the site name) will do this but Patty and I use the same registrar and I've not seen an indication that they follow this questionable practice.

@ Patty... I hope that I did right in trying to supply an answer here. Part of me was not sure whether to answer or leave for you.
