    My ticker isn't updating

    The company that wrote that ticker software went out of business 10 years ago. It's on a little server and I have basically left it running with the intention of when it dies, it dies. For some reason it realizes that and wants to struggle to live!

    VERY disturbing Ads…Do NOT look if you are squeamish!

    First off nobody needs to point a finger at anyone. Seeing those ads is NOT an indication anyone has been surfing anywhere bad. Honestly it's a constant battle that Corey spends a lot of time on. Google tries to use computer based algorithms to keep out bad ads but they don't work very well. He...

    Service Unavailable Error

    What time and time zone was it? There is another, far more minor issue we are looking into that is causing about 15 minutes of downtime around mid night eastern. Any info on a time would be helpful

    Since I haven't seen any posts since Monday, I'm hoping nobody is still experiencing this issue! Please post if you are

    Service Unavailable Error

    Unfortunately our provider seems to be entirely unable to figure this out. I have no choice but to move the DNS It's probably going to cause a few issues but this needs to end. Moving it to Cloudflare

    I think you are right on. Trust me if I thought there was DNS poisoning going on to drive people to dangerous sites I would shut these boards down in a heartbeat. Everything I have seen just points to the old address and some stuck servers. 2 weeks is, however, insane. The reason wdwinfo.com...

    I just spent half an hour on the phone with them again and they swear it will be fixed in 4 hours. You'll have to excuse me for having doubts

    I will follow up with them tomorrow and eventually move DNS to somewhere else. Trying to do it now would just make things worse I suspect

    So I think we may have an answer here. We do our DNS through a very respected old time company, they have been doing it since the beginning of the internet. Obviously I had contacted them when all this started and they assured me they checked and everything was fine. It must be other people's...

    Trust me nobody is more frustrated than I am. Be fabulous if the techs at Spectrum or whoever upstream hosed this could get their act together

    Service Unavailable Error

    That is what I would expect. the original TTL for the new address was 2 hours but I moved it to 1 hour in the hopes it would force an update.

    Service Unavailable Error

    7000 seconds is 2 hours which is the original TTL. I moved it to 1 hour hoping sending out the update would knock loose whatever server is stuck. You see the problem though and odd is right

    On DonMacGregor's post he clearly shows Spectrum is having an issue. > disboards.com Server: 2603-8000-0303-0015-ea9f-80ff-fe6f-0b41.res6.spectrum.com Address: 2603:8000:303:15:ea9f:80ff:fe6f:b41 Non-authoritative answer: Name: disboards.com Address: 108.171.164.208 When he switches to...

    Everything on the internet operates by numbers. There is a system called DNS that translates what we see, disboards.com to the correct number 108.171.164.208 since it would be pretty inconvenient to remember that number all the time, When we moved boards I told our DNS provider to switch from...

    Service Unavailable Error

    That's interesting. 108.171.164.208 is our old address, You are using spectrum for your DNS and it's feeding you bad info Just out of curiosity if you do the same thing while it's going on but type server 8.8.8.8 then type disboards.com do you get a different number? Like this C:\Users>nslookup...

    This is tough to fix because we can't recreate it If anyone with a bit of technical knowledge has this problem and can help it's appreciated While having the problem go to a dos prompt Type nslookup and hit enter type disboards.com and hit enter type www.disboards.com and hit enter Let me know...
