Hi,

Can you please clear the cache & cookies of your browser (via the options settings) and see what that does.

[tamilparks]

yes i cleared and checked its not opening to me, but its opening to some of other members and not opening to some of the members...

[Sanket]

Try using anonymouse.org to see if you can view your forum?

[tamilparks]

yes its opening so whats the problem sir?

[Sanket]

I don't really know if this is going to help, but you can try doing this at your own risk.

Start>Run
In the window that comes up type in the little box 'cmd'
then 'enter'
A window will pop up, type in
'ipconfig/flushdns'
then 'enter' again
It will report back that it has 'successfully flushed the DNS resolver cache'.

[tamilparks]

ok thanks sanket sir i will do it thanks for your help in time

[tamilparks]

sir its not opening an error message coming

windows cannot find 'ipconfig/flushdns' make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. to search for a file, click the start button, and then click search

like the above error coming

[Sanket]

I hope you did not add the ' in the command box?

[tamilparks]

sir i checked there is a space between / ... ipconfig /flushdns

using this command also it not working, for me its working in office and not working in house...

i check the dns and cname records everything are working fine

I just tried your link, and your forum loaded fine for me.

[tamilparks]

for me in office also frequently not loading after giving a lot of refresh only its opening and again getting cut in house its not opening

[Sanket]

Its something to do with your ISP blocking forumotion. Here its not such a issue for me, when i access it.

[tamilparks]

I am using BSNL broadband only, so how can i contact the ISP?

[Sanket]

Oh well, contact BSNL.

One example of what you are experiencing is, most of the forum owners from turkey cannot access forumotion forums because the turkey government has some kind of restrictions on such website as was mentioned by The Godfather.

He says lot of members from different locations (and from different ISPs) are not able to access the site.
So ISP is not a problem
