Electronics Diversified Website

Hopefully someone can help me with this. I tried going on to EDI's website (www.edionline.com) and it won't even let me in without a username and password. There isn't even a way to sign up as a user. I know most of us here don't frequent the EDI site, but is anyone else having this problem? It used to be an open site, but have they possibly changed it to where only authorized dealers have access? If so, who's bad idea was that?

That's not good...

It's probably undergoing maintenance right now. Although, most site would at least put a "downtime" notice.

I'm getting the same. I have been for a while (I was trying to download a manual). Most likely it's downtime for maintenance (or maybe a facelift!).

This might be an explanation:

Hey, I'm new around here, been lurking for a while.

Anyways, I saw an EDI board for sale on eBay, and wanted to look at the manual for it. I ended up having the same problem, where the main page was password protected and no other pages seemed to exist. I was able to retrieve the manual anyways by checking out the archived version of the site at Internet Archive Wayback Machine. I just went and used the most recent version of the site. Perhaps you could try and do the same.

Is it that one with the graffiti all over it? I'm bidding on it, so don't you dare! lol

Thanks for the advice though, this is the same reason why I was trying to reach the website.

Oh, and welcome to controlbooth!

Hah, it actually was... In case you didn't find them, the manuals are located here.
