    Huh. Could it be a location thing and it's just slowly migrating around the globe?

    I sat on the page for a few minutes and it stayed as the proper address.

    You broke it! Way to go Soulfire....

    I've reached out to Xenforo tech support. We'll go from there.

    I'm between yoga stretches at the moment, so my shit as all loose and tranquil. Might be a different story in a few hours.

    Core muscles, bruh. Can't do anything without your core.

    Moving over to the planks and pushups so the aggression is coming back.

    I haven't seen the GoDaddy page ever since yesterday. It works pretty well for me.

    But Cloudflare is a top notch DNS server, so not much surprise there. It'll be interesting to see what happens when I switch to my "bad" ISP server. That will be an interesting experiment. Let me try it.

    Ha! I knew it. As soon as I went to the "bad" DNS server, it took me right back to GoDaddy.

    That's channel 8 out of Portland. That was the local news station when I lived in NH.

    Yeah, you don't want em looking at you, though. Moose are bonkers when riled.

    Thing is we need it to work for everyone not just tech people, the average writer doesn't know what DNS is (I didn't until we had all the issues here back along)...XF support will hopefully get this sorted unless its a go daddy issue in which case their tech support ought to fix it

    Bison look like they're big and soft, but I wouldn't want to anger one.

    Fair enough. I haven't backed up everything, or anything I didn't post. All good. :)

    Just wondering, Homer: is that link still active? *thinks* I tried it, and it simply took me to https://writingforum.org/ .

    Of course it might not be active yet, in which case, I'm jumping the gun. :oops: Please don't mind me.

    Yeah, of course. I'm just being me by experimenting. It might be interesting to tell the tech people that it works with Cloudflare but not many home ISP servers.

    That said, propagation can take a really long time (up to 42 hours) but in my experience, it happens almost immediately, so this is on the weird side.

    I'm chatting with GoDaddy... Xenforo hasn't responded to the ticket yet...

    Almost cocktail time.

    Xen Foro are in the uk - so its the middle of the night for them, i assume they run 24/7 but probably have fewer people on nights

    If you want i can deal with them tommorow but you'll need to message me all the owner shiz

    Yup. A little gin an tonic, a pleasant dusk on my patio, wearing my yoga shorts and nothing else, doing a little GoDaddy tech support... this is the life. Those retired fat cats fornicating on yachts don't know what they're missing!

    @Homer Potvin

    The writingforum.org has three A records. I don't know your current setup but the 207.148.14.150 one is what leads to the new forum. There are two other IP addresses that lead to Amazon servers.

    upload_2025-5-13_23-58-20.png

    Double check whether those are right. You typically have one A record here. But again, I don't know your exact setup.

    Hopefully that's a little helpful.
