Hello Christopher,

What was formerly called the archaeal browser did undergo some recent 
changes and we can check with that team if we need to, but first maybe 
try something simple?

The browser is now called "The UCSC Microbial Genome Browser"

The server name is now: http://microbes.ucsc.edu

If you use the new server name, does this correct the problem? If not 
please write back and we can go forward from there (check with Todd 
Lowe's group if necessary). They do handle support (see Credits on 
server home page) but we also coordinate.

If you do reply, please send a few complete url strings (with variables) 
that do not work now, but used to, for us to test with. If you know when 
this stopped working, it would also be helpful. Determining if the 
problem is isolated to one, a few, or all genomes (or a particular 
phyla/group of phyla) would be good to investigate.

Thanks,
Jennifer
