I work someplace that has medium-stringent rules about net access, thus links to smugmug and Google Docs are blocked. With the recent change to photos.smugmug.com for comic hosting I can no longer have my PA joy while sipping my tea M/W/F am. This makes me very sad. Also given the low-E glass and the location of my office, using cell isn't a thing.
Why the hosting change? Is this permanent?

I copied the URL for the comic picture and changed "smugmug" to "penny-arcade" and "photos" to "art".
Old: https://photos.smugmug.com/Comics/Pa-comics/n-xmQS5/i-rjzTkn4/0/2100x20000/i-rjzTkn4-2100x20000.jpg
New: https://art.penny-arcade.com/Comics/Pa-comics/n-xmQS5/i-rjzTkn4/0/2100x20000/i-rjzTkn4-2100x20000.jpg
Starting today, this no longer works! If you try to go to the art.penny-arcade address it automatically sends you to the smugmug link!
This is not acceptable! There are thousands of people in offices that block smugmug, imgur, youtube and the like and now we can see the comic unless we use our phones.
And some of us (like the OP) can't even do that! Please ask PA's web-wizard to change it back so that art.penny-arcade still works.
Please! PLEASE!

"Was" is the operative word in that sentence. It has been "fixed" so that it sends you to smugmug no matter what.

Yeah, this. Your workplace doesn't want you reading comics at work, there's nothing we can really do about that. If we changed hosts, they'd block that one too. Use your phone.
