For many years, the firm maintained an internal Research Home Page on a server based in Philadelphia. This is the page we typcially set as the home page to open whenever you open Internet Explorer. It contained all the research links and links to key firm documents that many of you use every day.
Over a year ago, we retired that old home page, replacing it with a new one located on Google Sites. Among several reasons for the change was to allow you access to the site while outside the office and without using VPN. You need only login with your Gmail password to access it.
I announced the change in this blog post from March 2016.
For about a year, we maintained both the old and new page as we worked out the kinks. However, about three months ago, we officially retired the old page and simply forwarded you to the new one.
I announced this change in this blog post from Februrary 2017.
Recently, the aged server that has been hosting the old page began to fail. We had to take it out of commission. This has created some confusion. If you still had a link to the old page and were being forwarded to the new one, the forwarding would no longer work. Instead, you now simply get a "page not found" error.
If you are trying to get the old page, through an address such as:
10.0.0.251/research/home.html
or
192.6.120.251/research/home.html
you will get an error message. This is never going to be fixed and is not coming back. Instead, you should update your link or home page setting to take you directly to the new site:
The new site is located at:
https://sites.google.com/a/margolisedelstein.com/home
You can also access it from http://research.margolisedelstein.com
If you need any assistance updating these links the help desk can assist.
