FORUM SERVER CHANGE - 1/21/2011

[Doug R.]

Still acting up for me. Any new ideas?

[Armulus Satchula]

I'll send Jos an email later tonight, once i'm done with this programming user group. I have a feeling that something in the dns is a little screwy and they keep overwriting each other. When he showed me his dns file, it was a little confusing.

And suddenly, it stopped working for me :/

Me as well.

[Doug R.]

It worked again for me today, and then, at the same time it stopped working last time, it stopped working again. Something has to be overwriting the new DNS entries automatically.

[EchoMan]

It appears as if one DNS server didn't get updated by the host, while two were. That's really odd, but the only way I can explain waht is happening. So they have two DNS servers broadcasting the correct address, and then one broken DNS server broadcasting the old address. That's my best rated theory at the moment anyway.

Is fixed! Or seems to be. Was down for a couple of hour, but is now back where it belongs! Yay!

[Rebma]

I've never as of yet been able to get on the forums from any way other than the ip.

Not anymore, and hasn't been for several hours...
I miss all my PM emails.
It was working for me on the web address until maybe around 19, 19:30-ish GMT –5, and then I had to switch back to the IP.

Currently accessing the forum through forum.cantr.org, but for me I'm having a weird time.
Sometimes that url works, sometimes it doesn't and flips me to that page with the ip-based url, a few hours back neither worked - first nothing would load, then on a second attempt I got a page with just the "moving servers"-message, which took almost five minutes to load.

[Doug R.]

The issue with the forum missing entirely is unrelated and should be fixed. We're currently waiting to hear back from Jos regarding fixing the redirection.

[cooldevo]

Been getting the DNS page again today and had to switch to IP.

[Cwalen]

I am getting the occasional issue, Tells me that the site has changed then refuses my pwd/usr.

Not a problem for me, close the window (not even firefox or reboot) and follow the referral link from the main page back in.

I am in regional AUS with a link that would disgust anyone not in sub Saharan Africa.

If this is interesting to anyone I'll go digging for more details next time it happens. (guide me for what data is interesting)

Looks like that forum finally started to work for me today via forum.cantr.org address.

[EchoMan]

Wait until you have tried to read a few new posts (and get "Server moved" and logged out), and posted a couple of replies that you have to do all over again, just because you get logged out. This is extremely annoying.

Edit : Moving Servers

Refreshing and logging back in. Post reply again (thank god for back button and copy/paste).

The amount of suck about all this is immense.

(going back to IP address)

[KVZ]

Yeah, now I must use 173.212.229.176 again to get to the forums.
