Having trouble with loading up the site

cn555ic · 12-02-2010, 03:02 PM

I am experiencing problems for some reason on certain threads that for the life of me that I cannot access....I dont know what it is but everytime I log into the Forced Induction threads I get this message...I got it to work on my home computer by clearing the cache and cookies but at work for some reason this clearing of the cache and cookies still didn't work...

"If you are seeing this message, then our new server address is not working for you.

It can take up to 24-48 hours for a new address to spread across the internet, so please be patient.

If, like me, you are impatient, then you can try to speed this process up by shutting your computer down, then shutting down your router and your cable modem. Leave the cable modem off for 10-15 minutes. Then turn everything back on. Windows users: type in "ipconfig /flushdns" into your windows command prompt". Clear all your cookies. Reload the site and see if it works.

Depending on your internet service provider, this may reset the address system and force your ISP to pull our most recent address.

If this doesn't work, that means your ISP refreshes addresses very slowly and you will have to wait it out until they update.

Can anyone explain or help me out to whats going on???
