    Main domain is connected to the forum. Writingforum.org is live. Fuck yeah!

    Just have to get that hot dog smell out of there.

    Domain email server is next in the queue. I'm turning into an IT guy! Let's see what how much damage I can do.

    Hmm. Well it says it's verified and connected and the domain doesn't seem to be pointing to it yet? Have to figure that out later.

    It might take a minute. I have connected urls to places and it’s not automatic.

    It needs to propagate. Give it sometime.

    It'll take time to propagate - could be 24 hours or longer, depending on where you are.

    EDIT: ps102 beat me to it. For me, it points to a forum that says it's closed, so I can't register.

    EDIT2: It did. Now it doesn't.

    That’s where it should point. We’ll get it open as soon as we’ve built out the basic structure user groups etc

    For a brief time this morning, it brought me to the main page of the new forum (although it wouldn't let me register). Now, I get the GoDaddy page

    its not connecting for me - i'm getting the go daddy screen, and iritatingly the temporary link we were using is redirecting to the main url so i now can't log in.

    these things happen with new sites, i'm sure it will sort itself out sooner or later

    I humbly suggest to do a DNS flush and to temporarily change your DNS server's to Google's (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare's (1.1.1.1).

    I use Cloudflare and it works fine. I can see the forum.

    i fired up my mac and got the forum for 5 seconds then it refreshed and went to the go daddy screen...Homers going to talk to the tech people later and see if we can get this sorted out

    for you guys don't worry about it - currently the new forum isnt open for registrations anyway as we need to get it built out and user groups created first...soon as i can get in there i'll get that done, then we'll let you all know

    if anything goes to shit and this board goes down unexpectedly just keep trying the new one til its open
