Mufasa Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I'm talking to Cynthia on Aim and she's saying she can't get onto the forums. It's giving her the same message that we got last night when the forums were being moved. She can get onto the main site. I'm not sure how to help myself, but I figured I'd make this topic just in case you could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Well, I'm able to log on now, but only on my brother's computer. Quite strange, it might be my computer, I'll have to virus scan and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordsAreShiney Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) That's because your computer caches the location that the domain points to, so when there's a DNS server update (like there was overnight), it can take time for your computer to check to see that the location it has cached is the actual location. If anyone else has this problem, they should open up the command prompt (Start -> Run -> type in cmd) and type in ipconfig /flushdns and press enter. If they're using Vista, they'll need to run the command prompt as an administrator. Edited October 5, 2008 by Makarov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 The problem seems to have resolved itself, and thank you Makarov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordsAreShiney Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 If left alone, it's the type of thing that would fix itself in a matter of a few hours, or depending on some routers and stuff it can take a bit longer, yeah. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jyosua Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Yeah it didn't work right away for me either, so I left it overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
