What my browser tells me when I try to find the Inkling Markets forums:
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at forum.inklingmarkets.com.
The forums were working fine a week ago, when I posted a question in a section for market managers about using the Inkling widget for putting Inkling market charts on a blog. A day or two went by with no response.
Then I began getting the above message when I clicked on the “Forums” link that was on every market page. Today I noticed the link is gone.
No notice, no announcement, just disappeared.
Nate’s dog has messed up with something on the computer, maybe:

Adam Siegel emails that Inkling has had some problems with their forums and were in the process of moving them to an outside service. The forums — the fora? — are going to be back.
There are great open-source forum software.
