    I am trying to figure out how come when I enter my forum's URL, it redirects me to this website https://www.forumotion.com/?

    I am completely unable to access my forum. Can someone please help me with this?

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the info, I missed the announcement when I looked at the page, can I say that though that with less than two hours notice of this happening to losing my forum temporarily, I cant and had no hope of letting any of my members know. I think a lot of people will be freaked by this, its a pity there wasnt more notice so we could alert our form members

    I was a little freaked out at first when this happened too.  I used the browse function at that site to browse to our forums, and that worked fine.  I'll have to remember this.

    Hi,

    Yes Forumotion is moving DataCentres right now and also updating servers so this is a side effect of this. We do apologize but we can't do anything to stop these random redirects as like I said its a side effect of moving.

    Thank you so much!  I figured out what was going on, but I know of one forum owner who definitely would not have been able to, so I sent her a PM to inform her.

    How long is the redirect going to last? I was able to get into my forum once, but have tried several times over and over to advise the members, but I can't get back in.

    Thanks

    Hello dear members

    No panic! Redirection is normal. The migration is in progress and all is under control of our engineers and technicians Smile

    I will let you know as soon as it is solved :rose: :rose:
