Admin note: The site is now back up and operational. Please see my post in this thread for details.
I can't get xaraxone at all at present
I sent a heads up to Xara.
I bet their servers are down. This happens from time to time. They might be doing maintainence.

I'm sorry that I didn't see this thread sooner. I made an announcement in the Xara Xone area, didn't expect to find anything here, though.
@Acorn—the videos play okay because they aren't hosted locally. They're on YouTube's servers.
The server has been down since Friday afternoon New York DST, and Barbara notified TPTB shortly after that.
As far as we know at the moment (because no everyone works on the weekend), Barb and the other Admins at The Xara Group will be migrating content to a new server (thus alleviating a chronic problem) to go live on or about Monday morning.
"Stay tuned" is the best anyone can offer right now, sorry to say.
My Best,
Gary
I've moved this thread to the Xara Xone forum and stuck it for now to make this information easier to locate for anyone who might be wondering why the Xara Xone can't be found.
In the meantime here is a link to the Xara Xone Youtube Channel where you can still watch the videos

It's Sunday, August 4, about 10.30am New York DST, and Xaraxone.com has been partially restored now.
Be sure to clear your browser's cache before trying to get there, and please do not post here that you can't see Xara Xone if you haven't cleared the cache in your browser! The DNS is going out to a new server now and the new address might take a while to percolate through the intertubes, okay?
Thanks!
Gary
I've cleared my browser cache and still nothing here yet. I'll check again later.
It went up at 10.30, Barb and Xara worked on the new server for two hours, it now has other problems, tomorrow we're estimating, sorry.

Hi All--
The XaraXone is up and operational now on new server hardware. Along with the server change there has also been a DNS change that is working throughout the Internet. If you are not able to see the Xaraxone.com now, you may need to clear your browser cache, or wait a while for the change to reach your part of the world. Also some internet service providers use proxy servers to speed up browsing, especially for dialup and DSL customers, and it may take a bit for those proxy servers to catch up.
The server that XaraXone used to be on was acting up and becoming unreliable, so a move to new server hardware was scheduled for Mon Aug 5th with goal of being a seamless and undetectable transition. Unfortunately the old serve decided to quit after 5pm Friday (UK time) and was not able to be restarted -- so it was on to plan B - do the move Sunday instead of Mon and use a backup instead of a transfer. That appears to have been successful, but we will be testing tomorrow to make sure that nothing got dinged in the process.
If you notice that something is not quite right please PM me with the details.
Many thanks to Dan M at Xara for working on a Sunday night to make this happen as soon as possible.

PS Please pardon the cross posting but I want everyone to be sure to see this.
Yes it works for me
I think we should give a BIG round of thanks to Barbara, DanM and Gary for their tireless efforts to get the Xone back up and running quickly.
=D>
I just got a note from Xara that the servers are back:
Quote:
Hopefully all fixed now. We've had problems with the 1&1 server recently, we moved it to a new one yesterday.
As of Monday, 8.00am New York DST, the Xara Xone is back up, but only to the end of July.
The server that crashed took the page updates with it after the end of July; Barbara is rebuilding the pages, they should be up and properly linked today.
Here's a link to the Packaging and Perspectives tutorial that is not easy ot access with the currently displayed menu:

Attachment 97890
When you access the Xaraxone today, please continue to clear your cache, as the DNS server will be changing (re)direction as the site is rebuilt.
We thank you for this interruption and return you now to our regularly scheduled program,
(That's a very old U.S. broadcast saying when your favourite TV show is upstaged with the news),
