"We are constantly striving to improve your travel shopping experience with Expedia.co.uk.Our website is temporarily unavailable whilst we make upgrades and add new features. During this brief time you will not be able book any trips or services with us. However please be assured that if you have any existing bookings these will not be affected."

Any idea for how long, or why. Thanks for the warning guys!

This bit is a bit of a joke

If you need to book a hotel while Expedia is unavailable, why not visit our partner site Hotels.com

And this!

If you can’t wait to start planning a trip, visit our partner site TripAdvisor.com for trip advice from fellow travellers.

We've just diverted all our Expedia links to a competitor until they're back up and running.

Still down - this is abysmal!

[angelabx]

It's back.

Lets hope they remembered to add the affiliate tracking

[pollensa]

But do any links to hotels work? All I get is:

"Expedia.co.uk is searching for accommodation. Please wait. " & the same if I just go to Hotels on their site & search for hotels in say, Barcelona.

& finally I get:

"An error occurred while attempting to get hotel information, please try again later. "

Which network do you guys use?

I use TD but never really explored whether the rates are better on CJ.

At least CJ pay a lot faster. I get a bit fed up waiting so long for TDs payments compared with other networks.

I use CJ for Expedia.co.uk.

The tracking is working after yesterday.

[pollensa]

I use TD (I may have got kicked off CJ!)

The Expedia site itself seems to be working OK today & TD appears to be tracking visitors OK.

[Pete Taylor]

CJ is tracking sales today

[angelabx]

(I may have got kicked off CJ!)

Did you do something wrong?

[pollensa]

I think I may have had next to no sales as I hadn't got round to adding their links - I think I got 'expired' anyway.... Aaaah

[angelabx]

Yep, I remember that Expedia had a cull of dormant affiliates a while back on CJ.

[angelabx]

They're having problems again!

We've got good news, and we've got bad news...

Some of our pages are not available at this time.
You can still use the following links to book your holiday:

Flights
Hotels
Cars
Holidays
Attractions and Services

[pollensa]

So which pages aren't available then? I just went in & did a hotel search & my deep links (via TD of course!) seem to work OK.
