Hello,

The problem should be fixed now.

A DNS change has caused this problem. Now, the base DNS configuration has been restored.

Please clear your cache and cookies and check if this issue is fixed, as it should be.

If it's not, here are some different operations that can help to fix the issue :

• Close your browser
  
• Reboot your Internet connection
  
• Clear the DNS cache with an ipconfig/flushdns process (How to do this ?)
  
• If that still doesn't work, save your current DNS info somewhere else and try to change temporarily your DNS for the DNS provided by Google (How to do this ?)
  
  If after all these operations, you still have the loading issues, please provide us :
  
  
• The forum(s) concerned
  
• A screenshot of the error message
  
• Your ISP
  

Thank you very much to all of you for your patience

I'm still having trouble with one of my sites. I can access two of them via changing the host file. Don't bother telling me changing the host file was a bad idea and I'll just have to change it back. I'm aware of that and have NO PROBLEM going back in and editing the changes (when the issue is actually fixed for me). I tried all other suggestions and I still can't load my forum. Besides, I trust the person who posted the host file 'fix' (temporary though it is) because they do this kind of thing for a living and wouldn't suggest it if it was going to break things.

Anyway, this is the site I've left alone (no change to the host file for it as it's a dead site anyway and used mostly for one on one RPing) and it still won't load after doing all the above suggested 'fixes' (again, aside from changing the host file as I wanted a site to check for when the issue was resolved so I could remove the changes to the host file).

Everyone gets the white screen how the site couldn't be opened and a suggestion to check connection or refresh.

I was unable to log on yesterday...this morning I was back on. But a lot of my members are having trouble. Some for 2 days now.

Users are having problems accessing my forum today, still. Yesterday, some members in the US had trouble. Today, so far our only complaint (in the small group) is from Canada, but there may be others abroad who cannot access it.

I am still having problems with my forum

One of my friends can't access a forum I'm a member on, along with some others having problems as well. He's tried most to all of the fix methods.

Hello.

It seems that we have the same problem with our forum...

Forum URL: http://www.klclan.com/
Country: Romania
Internet service Provider: RCS & RDS

Yesterday it worked perfectly fine for me, but for most of the users it didn't worked at all. Now it works for them, but it doesn't work for me anymore. Really weird...

P.S. - Now I'm using a proxy IP, because with my IP I can't connect to any forums hosted by Forumotion.

- Also, I haven't changed any settings lately, so I don't see how the problem can be from my PC...

Thanks in advance for solving this problem!

Best Regards,
George

My forum worked as well temporarily for the last hour (http://universalapps.canadian-forum.com/forum); however, it suddenly seems to have stopped working as of now. It seems to be that my forum is still having the problems as I posted before though it did work occasionally today. I hope this problem is resolved soon.

Can anyone tell us what the technicians think is wrong?

The Devs are saying the issue is corrected, and is going to gradually resolve its self on our end.

I have probs first this, was down overnight but working again, be nice to know what was wrong and it it is resolved . How can I save all my content if I wanted to change providers and pay for a website that hopefully wont crash or go pooffss into cyber space ?

SITE'S BACK.

Thanks to everyone who worked to resolve the issue!

ye some people got on that couldn't ..thanks..

It's still not back for me.

Not sure if the site is part of forummotion or not but I've had the same problem here. It started out in spurts that would last for an hour and now I'm suddenly completely locked out. No email saying I was banned - just suddenly getting a "can not find the server www.ultimateshinobi.org

Tried Firefox, IE, and GoogleChrome and get the same results. Dropped every security measure the computer has no luck. Tried a different computer on the same network - no luck. Service provider is Frontier and never had this issue before.

I really really want to get back on so I can tell the people who might be waiting for my post to just skip me. Please?

Guys I did nothing and the site is just back for me. I do believe it will resolve itself on it's own for you. Just wait. Maybe tomorrow maybe in 2 days, you'll just be able to log normally.

I am having the same issue and have been having this same issue for the past 36 hours. I have been contacted by several new users who have been having this problem. Many of them have told me that they are no longer interested in my forum because this.

Nuclear, The Estate, Don't sell out,
The issue was with a server, it was corrected on Friday, and the devs have said the correction will take some time for everyone to see, it's all on your connection.

There are reports in the French community that things are improving for their users, which is great!

Tomer, sounds like your connection has picked up the corrections, fantastic to hear this!

Darren my man, thank you very much for the help. I bid you good night and a nice pat on the back.

Thanks Darren. I'm not at all computer savvy...but what does it mean it will fix itself? I still have the same problem. Our board relies on posters putting posts on by sunday morning. I'm a little worried now.... what do i need to do on my end? I don't even know what proxies are.

I can now view ForuMotion Support on Mozilla Firefox and Chrome. It's only a matter of time now before I have access to my forum.

Thanks for the update Darren !

Whew! Good to know even if it's annoying to not be told that these things happen.

Oh and Tonight
*tackle hug!*
Thank you thank you thank you!
With the link to the proxy I at least got to give them a heads up about my situation so they won't think I left them high and dry.

*group hug of total strangers I don't know!*

TO my very limited understanding they alter your IP address. Back on page 8 Tonight put up a link to one that is free. Put in the address of the site you need to get to and it uses the proxies IP address instead of your own. I tried it and I was able to get back onto the website I couldn't access.

Tomer,
Thank you, much appreciates my friend!
I bid you a good night too, I'll be signing off shortly, just got a daily report to finish

Todd, long time no see old bud.
Issue is corrected and now awaiting on your ISP to pick up the correction and relay it, seems like it's already happening as some people are reporting their fully or partially back online.
I would think everything should be A-OK by the weekend out.
Hit up google to use a proxy, it'll explain how to
You have to do nothing, if you wish to access your forum, simply use a proxy.
Ileo, Great news there mate! Lets give it a bit more time, hopefully more to keep coming
Nuclear, it does happen, however, not very often, and was corrected very quickly to reduce impact time, it could've been worse

Good night everyone
