Hello,

Your issue is fixed since yesterday.
When I try to reach your forum with the personalized domain name, there's no problem, and when I try with the base URL, it redirects to the personalized domain name.

As it was a DNS issue when purchasing, I suggest to users which have problems to access your forum to try these steps :

  • 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 that still doesn't work, there's nothing we can do since the problem is only on their side.

Thank you !

So I guess you just need to wait for the caches to be cleared.

As I already told you, we don't have this problem on our side.

Also, as you can see there are members connected at this moment on the forum :

On your Facebook page ?
I had the same problem when I clicked on your link through it, but that's a Facebook issue, that has nothing to do with Forumotion Smile

You don't look at the right tab :
Domain what i bought doesn't work?!?!? Screen10

Your domain name is working, that's not an issue on our side I'm sorry.

No, you shouldn't. Smile
You should try to follow the steps I gave you and if that still doesn't work, you should contact your ISP, maybe they have a DNS cache.

Also, you have access to the Admin Panel, so that means that you have also access to your forum.

You bought a domain name which is associated with your forum and it will always be as long as you don't removed the domain name.

You keep on saying that you have a Godaddy page randomly when you try to reach the forum, which seems to be impossible.
It's a DNS question : either DNS are good and the domain name redirects to the forum or they are bad and the domain name redirects to the Godaddy page. It can't be both of them.

At this moment, 17 users are visiting your forum. And each time that I try, I can reach the forum without any problem.

So I don't know where your issue is, but it is not on our side.

Thank you
