DNS fun again

[Dan]

Guys I am making another change to the DNS. Sorry.

This is going to probably have little effect. However if you find you can't access the site properly try the following

For iOS and Android devises
Put the device into airplane mode for at least 30 seconds then back off. Or restart the device

for windows
clear cache
then go to Start >> run >> CMD
type in
ipconfig /flushdns

for macosx

Difficult to read your instructions if the site appears to be down; I wish I'd known this 36 hours ago

No harm done (I'll recover from the extended withdrawal).

And seriously, thank-you for your time commitment and expertise @Dan

Yep, I've been missing all the fun over the past few days because I couldn't see the site.

If you guys wanna know if the whole site is down or just you....

Go to one of these types of web sites...:

I can't seem to access the site from either of my iOS devices (& yes, i have followed the 'turn off, turn on' instructions).

Getting a 'can't find server' type error. Very annoying. :huh:

Not coping. Please help.

iOS devices can be a bastard with holding DNS cache. Do you have another browser on your iOS, if so launch that and use that until your system decides to renew the cache

Google chrome for the iPhone works good

I wonder if aliens have to switch their mobile phones to 'UFO mode' when they travel.
