New Server Issue Post

[Andra]

I'm so glad I found this post. My time stamp is off and I kept trying to change my time zone in the User CP and I thought I was losing my mind .
It's 11:35 AM here (EST) but it says I posted this at 2:34 PM.

Yay for the new server though! Thank You Mark! I would rather have the time messed up than not be able to access the board at all.

No, the timestamp issue still is being worked on our end.

As to the AOL issue, they might not still recognize that the site has changed addresses yet - our new server people advised us that it can take up to 3 days names servers to recognize the change - kind of like leaving a forwarding address with the post office.

I do hope that the site is moving faster for folks though...

OMG! I 'm going crazy here!
The board will not come up with AOL. With IE, it opens correctly, might even let me go to a new page and then...BAM...goes back to the server problem! I'm on Mozilla right now but it did the same thing as IE a bit ago. I responded to a PM, edited my Have list and when I went to save changes, it goes back to the server problem page. I never know click to click if it's going to work. I emptied my cache twice now, have rebooted twice and things are still hinky!

Woo Hooooo! Here I am sick at home today and I couldn't get it to work....ahhhh, now I feel like I'm home!

So I deleted temp internet files and restarted and it didn't work.
So I did it AGAIN and now I'm on the site.

When rebooting, it is best to shutdown the computer and then power it back on.

You can check to see if your dns nameserver is using the correct ip address for the site by opening up a command prompt and typing

ping www.hotcouponworld.com 

It should resolve to 69.30.24.236. If it does not then your dns has not been updated.

In case anyone wants to know dns nameservers are like a road map to the internet. They translate the url [www.hotcouponworld.com] into a ip address. This tells your request where to go. There are hundreds of dns nameservers all over the world. Last night, I told my dns hosting company to change the ip address of the hotcouponworld server to 69.30.24.236. This information is then propagated all over the internet. The good news is that most of the major isp have their own dns nameservers and request updates often. The bad news is it could take a few minutes to many hours to update all of the servers around the world.

The best advice right now is patience.

I am having the same issues, but I am pretty sure it will clear up soon.

Got my fingers crossed and thinking everything is resolved...on my end. Mozilla, IE, and AOL all seem to be holding. YEAH!
Is it bad to be this addicted to one website?

AOL is finally letting me in here, IE did off and on but as of 8 Pm ESt it is great love it.
