The IGI is here, and working fine.

Are you talking about something else?

I think you are referring to Hugh Wallis's website that give the batch numbers and other information about IGI. There has been a problem caused by hackers and the site has been pulled by Rootsweb.

We all hope this is a tempoorary measure but it might be an idea to go to Rootsweb's homepage and click on the "help" button in the top right of the screen and then click on "Email Rootsweb support".
You can then send an email asking when the pages will be put back.

You are not trying to access the IGI - I think you mean the Hugh Wallis Batch Numbers site.
The IGI is still there but Hugh's site is currently down as Ladkyis has said. There is a very long thread on the forum about that if you want to see the background to the issues involved in the Batch Numbers site being taken offline for now.
