Help Dom (Wabit)

[intensem1]

Hi Guys,

Dom (Wabit) has requested I ask if anyone else is having any issues accessing VWWatercooled or if its just him? Currently he cannot access the forums at all.

Hope this helps him and other out.

Troy was having problems as well before.
The problem is that if other people are having problems how are they gonna read this post?

Troys problem was as though some DNS changes had been made and it was taking a while to propagate across the net

i couldn't get on in the last 24hrs or so. think 83_sus was the same, but it did say for maintenance

I think there was a software update yesterday.
I reckon if he loads up the front page again today, all should be well.

Re: Help Dom (Wabit)

Yep, as was suggested it was a change in DNS records as our provider upgraded us to a new server. Should be just about done propogating now

Get him to clear his cache.

Hmm I had the same issue yet on different comps it was fine just on my work one and even the iphone was working while the work comp wasn't.

DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours but normally doesn't.

Might be worth clearing the DNS cache on your PC.

run windows command prompt and type in "ipconfig /flushdns" minus the quotes of course.

i couldnt get in for the last 24 hours on 2 different computers, but just got in then, without making any changes

and on a Mac: dscacheutil -flushcache

A little of topic...
But some things i posted yesterday have no disappeared. Just re post them?

[pixl]

Yep, I noticed that too. The backup of the forum would've been made just prior to putting it into maintenance mode. Last 20 minutes or so of posts didn't make it.

Same as PMs. I had one sitting in there unread. When the forums came back, it was gone.

Works fine on my Mac in Firefox, but not on my PC at work in Firefox, keeps coming up with a 404 Not Found error. Have cleared the cache but still no workie

If I go to the homepage, it just redirects me to dcsi.net.au ??

are both machines running through the same ISP? That can sometimes make a difference.
