The Burning Question

Read it again. I didn't say MARK was stupid. I said what he SAID was stupid.

Totally different thing. =)

 

BTW I've done the DNS flush several times, still can't see XF.com

 

Same here, just managed to get on now reading using another different web proxy. But all others tried are either showing namecheap parked page or what-ever. They are still having problems, but they shouldn't be really by now. It's been much longer than 24 hours. Keep in mind I have to use web proxy anyway to access site because I'm banned, plus they banned my static IP used. God knows why they banned my IP for as well, it's not like I'm going to create a bogus account and they'd know it was me right away because IP used would tally up with MRGTB account there? Childish of them to do that as well!

I'm going to recycle my IP so I don't have to use proxy soon. Easy done, just switch off main router at wall for 24 hours and a new static IP is assigned. XenForo is there OK for me using normal method, no proxy. But I can't read what's posted that way. You should try deleting all History and cookes e.t.c from FireFox (everything). Then in Windows "Start/Menu/Run". Type in: ipconfig /flushdns

Then re-boot computer

But if your using FireFox, usually deleting all browsing History (that must be done also), along with deleting all Cookies in the other settings will do the trick alone

 

^ Nope not working that way either . Tried several ways logged in through work server in NY/NJ same result.

 

wow

 

Thought something exciting had happened then. Oh well, back to what I was doing....

 

Do share

 

Who me?

 

anyone

 

Y'know, I wonder why it's even bothering me that I can't get on that site, when I hadn't been there for months up until just a couple of weeks ago.

Go figure... :shrug:

 

It's because you always feel that way when wanting to do something, but you can't. It like wanting another cream cake, but there's none left in the fridge. :lol2:

 

Peggy, use this site to access XenForo. Works fine for me: http://www.proxywebsite.org/

 

I still can't access xf from home.
Is the above site safe to use passwords?

 

No idea, only used it to browse as a guest reading.

 

If I was you, I'd probably just play safe and not do.

 

That's what I figgered.

 

This turned out to be the easist solution for me. Change your DNS server to Google which reacts to changes quicker:

Otherwise I still could not access the site, two days later!

 

I ended up doing that too.

 

I use Google DNS, have not had a single issue getting to XF since it came back up.

 

Ask your internet access provider (or the person responsible for the DNS in your PC's setup) to UPDATE their records.
It is not uncommon for some of them to have a much longer cache update time than usual, because it saved money in ancient times, when bandwidth costs were high. (most DNS run for years without any changes done, if their admins are lame)

Also you can use Googles DNS instead of the ones from your access provider.
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 are the DNS ip adresses. Just put those numbers in your local DNS setup.
