Sorry if I am sounding terse here... I've got way too much going on to be dealing with this... it's frustrating when nothing on this side shows wrong... both servers show the same... I sent all the data to the host to look through...

We are taking the forum down right about now in order to clean up some stuff in the back end.  So, if you can't access it for the next couple hours, it's on purpose

Also, they are refreshing the DNS or some such to see if this other issue can get cleared up at the same time.

I checked on that and could not replicate their findings.  We are looking at it but nothing says anything is wrong... we cant even replicate those findings.

Hmm.  I wonder what's really going on.  As reported by www.allwhois.com, the authoritative DNS servers for the av123forum.com domain are:

Name Servers:
   ns1.thresholdwebservices.net
   ns2.thresholdwebservices.net

No IPs specified for either server, so any other DNS server attempting to resolve a host in the av123forum.com domain would first need to obtain an IP for one of the Threshold DNS servers before it could forward the DNS resolution request.  I attempted to resolve those hostnames through the Qwest, Comcast, Visi.com, and Verizon DNS servers -- all of which failed.  That'd prevent users of those DNS servers from resolving www.av123forum.com, or at least causing the resolutions to work only intermittently.

Hopefully the host company will get this worked out...

Let me know if anyone is still seeing an issue... I had them reset everything...

I cannot access the site by name from either work or home for the past day or so, only by IP address.  I just tried flushing my DNS cache and clearing out my browser data here and still cannot reach it.  An NSlookup fails from here on both av123forum.com and www.av123forum.com. 

NSlookups on ns2.thresholdwebservices.net and ns1.thresholdwebservices.net also fail from here right now.  However, I can resolve thresholdwebservices.net.

We are going to start over and move to a new DNS this Sunday.  There should be no interruption in service since it is an established DNS.

Anyone having problems with the forum loading?

Never mind, it was IE7.

It was Firefox too, as I just had a few problems with timing out.
All seems better now

It was out for about 5 mins yesterday...

[ggunnell]

Maybe just me (IE7/XP) but no joy 11/26 PM or 11/27 AM -- I just assumed Santa Schifter was having a great promotion

There are 280 users on right now so maybe a routing issue between you and the server... ?
