Now it's working for me, too ;)

The Auto-login doesn't seem to work as before, and/or my session times out much more often now.

I was only having that problem when using the redirect link to the IP. It's working fine for me when linking directly to http://forum.cantr.org

I just switched to using the named URL again, and within 10 minutes the forum tells me "Moving Servers" and I get redirected to the temporary page again, and have to log in all over again / lose post I was editing and submitting and all that other annoying stuff.

Going back to IP for now.

I had that happening to me yesterday, but none of the forums are set to show that.

Same problems as Echoman reports.

Sometimes it works, but then I have to use the IP again.

This could possibly be an issue where you need to completely clear your browser's cache.

Was working fine for me all day, but now it's not. I'll try clearing the cache.

Clearing the cache didn't help.

It now happened to me again. WTH. I See why the message appears though from moving servers. The old forum is still online on the old server. We only changed the text on index.php, however if you go to search.php it still appears. This really makes no sense why it's working 1/2 the time.

Could some place be restoring their DNS entries from a backup, overwriting the new address until it re-propagates?

Oh, and the real reason this is happening is because you said this shouldn't take more than four hours. I thought all programmers were too superstitious to jinx their projects like that ;)

Minor thing, but thought I would report it: email notifications are not sent for private messages. I'm using the IP address still since the URL wasn't working for me.

I checked my preferences just in case, since I had to re-upload my avatar after the conversion. I still have it set to email me notifications. *shrug*
