Sorry about that! But we're back again. And I promise I won't touch anything else until I'm sure it won't take the databases down. :)

More later, I've got to run.

DNS Propagation Check:


Go to http://www.mafiascum.net and compare to:

http://67.222.17.61
http://67.222.16.61

If you match the first, the DNS is directing you to the correct IP. If you match the second, it's directing you to the new server, but the wrong IP. If you are still getting the bluehost message, it's directing you over there, obviously. Post here to tell me what you're getting; when everyone is getting the right IP, I'll switch the forum back over to using the domain name.

@Lawrencelot and those agreeing: I know what the two links look like... what I need to know is which one http://www.mafiascum.net matches for you.

I'll also use this thread to mention that when I tried to post earlier today, when I clicked the reply button I was redirected to the index. It seems to have been solved now, but I've also seen a newbie in the help forum with the problem so I thought I should mention it here.
If you came in via the other IP, when you tried to log in it would have kicked you over to the correct IP, and made you log in again.

We've had the log in problem in the past though, so it could also just be a cookie issue. Another thing that will hopefully be fixed when we move to phpbb3.

I working on getting the domain transfered to the new registrar; might be some DNS hiccups (shouldn't be, but you never know), but the IP link will continue to work regardless.

I'm going to switch the forum url over to mafiascum.net this afternoon. DNS should be propagated by now. You may need to log in again, but otherwise it shouldn't affect anything.
