Dns issue....takes upto 24hrs for the dns to update around the world hence some people could get on and others not.

Simply an internet type issue....nothing amiss with the forum

I think I've fixed it. Changed my DNS server to Google's at 8.8.8.8

Some people on facebook saying they cant access from certain computers etc. I suggest trying from a mobile using 3G/4G (not wifi) and if that works, but your home computer doesn't, then reset your router/modem to force a new connection, which may resolve any issues.

So something has been going on behind the scenes then Jordie?

[Jordie]

No....well nothing we have done. I believe the servers will have updated dns and thats why some people couldnt get on right away.

This is a standard internet thing and updates to dns can take 24hrs to reflect around the world.

Certainly nothing wrong with the forum its just one of those things.

Anyone not able to access should try flushing their dns or rebooting their modem/router to force a new connection to their internet service provider.

Were the DNS records changed on Sunday then?

[Jordie]
