You're not alone. Both Cherokee & I were getting the "This page cannot be found" page last night.
Still not able to get on. I sent Buc an email, and she can get on?? Could it be AOL???


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Mass on January 28, 2009, 07:12:08 am
Well...damn...then. I still can't get on either. Hopefully it is fixed by the time I'm off work.  :'(

Whew...I thought it was just me....I get the webpage can't be found message also...since late last night.

BUC says she's sorry and is working on it, for those who can't get on the regular forum, like me.

Post by: BUC on January 28, 2009, 04:00:31 pm
Are you guys all on AOL?

I can find no reason for this. No changes have been made and the settings have been checked  :-[

I will contact my programmer tonight and see if he has an answer, but if I know you are all on AOL or have something in common it sure would help. The forum has actually been quite busy today!

I guess this means we can talk smack about you guys, huh? LMAO  :D


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Margot7 on January 28, 2009, 04:20:03 pm
I am on AOL BUC....and I still can't get on.... :'(


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: BUC on January 28, 2009, 04:34:59 pm
Ok, if you guys are all on AOL then chances are it's with you. This happened one time before on "another forum" and AOL had to resolve it. If you guys all have that in common someone needs to contact them and let them know.


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Margot7 on January 28, 2009, 04:51:51 pm
O.K., so Mass Smoke and Cherokee let me know if you're on AOL...


Title: Re: Uh Oh

yes, I am aol.

We're crapless right now...only a dusting of snow and really the temps haven't bothered me this year very much. Seriously because of going last year with no heat.


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: AKPonygirl on January 28, 2009, 09:54:59 pm
yeah no heat blows big monkey chunks...  heat is good..

i am gonna go fix me some supper, but if you are still on in an hour or so I will come back :)  I will check back tomorrow too :)  have a good night :)

Mass, I can get on the board using Internet explorer but not AOL.  I will be gone most of the day tomorrow but if I have time I will put a call in to AOL and see if I can't resolve it.  If not tomorrow then I'll shoot for Friday.


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Mass on January 29, 2009, 04:40:22 am
AOL is how I connect to the internet. How would I just use internet explorer?


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Smoke on January 29, 2009, 05:59:44 am
Mornin Mass, I too am still not able to get on the board. You asked the very question I was thinking. I googled Internet Explorer, and it brought up a lot of websites - most of them need to be downloaded. I won't do that since it would no doubt cause problems on this stupid computer. Any time I try to download anything, something goes bad.


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: equusteacher on January 29, 2009, 06:53:21 am
Morning sunshine!
Sorry you can't get logged on.
We're talking thinking about you over there!  ;D


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: BUC on January 29, 2009, 06:58:44 am
Morning guys!

Ditch the AOL and come on over :)

Or call AOL and tell them they are blocking our site  >:(


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Margot7 on January 29, 2009, 08:39:55 am
AOL is how I connect to the internet. How would I just use internet explorer?

Well, I'm not too sure :)  all I know is my husband doesn't like AOL so we also have Internet Explorer....I'm the only one that uses AOL and wouldn't let him get rid of it.  People laugh at us for having both  :-\  I have to go get ready for my day in which I will be gone most of and won't be able to call AOL....if someone else can then thanks, otherwise, I'll be home tomorrow and will work on it!

My husband thinks that we should just wait a day or two because maybe AOL is doing some updating etc...(he doesn't know the we are addicts)  :D


Title: Re: Uh Oh

Title: Re: Uh Oh

Awww....poor Massie. I'll post it over there for you. I can't believe you're not on the phone with AOL right now chewing their ass out  ;D


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Mass on January 29, 2009, 07:09:29 pm
Hey, I worked 6 to 3, then had my Mom to shop for, now I'm tired. But...I am off tomorrow and will have more energy to yell at AOL then.  :D ;D

Everything was fine on the main board for me during my first visit in the early evening, then went back a little while ago. Again everything was fine a little bit ago until I tried to post about Barbaro's brother, I pushed "Post" and it said the forum is being updated and will be back up shortly. I'm thinking I was jinxed by posting a comment about the FOB's.

Yes, Barbaro was telling you he was jealous, because you were talking about his brother and not him. :D

Title: Re: Uh Oh

We moved to a new host last night :) That why no one could get on.

I have the same thing now. I can get onto the forum home page, but not into any topics or threads.


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: BUC on January 30, 2009, 09:03:23 am
You can try this and see if it works.

MAKE SURE IE OR FIREFOX IS CLOSED!

1. Click “Start”.
2. Click “run”.
3. Type: “cmd” without the quotes. You will be entered into Command Prompt.
4. Type: “ipconfig /flushdns” without the quotes. That’s all. Exit out of there.
5. Try to access the domain name. You should be able to hit the new server


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: morapt on January 30, 2009, 09:47:19 am
I'll pass this on to chumley as well.  She didn't know about the back up board and hasn't been able to get on as well.


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: BUC on January 30, 2009, 09:50:48 am
I think were running on 2 different servers today, the new and old. The board is pretty bare, with a host move everyone should have the default blue theme, but I'm on with people still on the green.

I think we have people scattered everywhere today  :-[

I do have a ticket in to get these issues resolved :)


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Tbitt on January 30, 2009, 11:28:14 am
Well, I could get on.

I ran the "mentioned" "fix" and now look at me.............

Banished to here!!!! LOL  :P   :D


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: BUC on January 30, 2009, 11:34:15 am
No one can get on the old board...like where we've been all morning, LOL.

I just talked to the host and he said I needed to shut the board down because it's on the old host and absolutely nothing we posted there today will be there when the new board takes over so there is no point. People are already there. I'm not one of them either  >:( It can take up to 24 hours for those of us that had to fun the fix before we can access it.

He said everyone should be able to get on by tonight.


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Mass on January 30, 2009, 11:57:43 am
I can't even do the fix. I do start, run...put in cmd and it says file not found. What am I doing wrong?


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Tbitt on January 30, 2009, 12:14:31 pm
I'm Back in!!!!!   :-*

Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Smoke on January 30, 2009, 12:38:46 pm
When I click on it in my favorites, I get the green one. I can open the first area - horse talk I think it's called, but nothing else.


Title: Re: Uh Oh

I won't have a clue about anything until I can get on the new host  >:(


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Tbitt on January 30, 2009, 01:07:14 pm
Ok - I am back in.............for how long, I have no clue


But I did notice that there are a few threads and post missing.......I dont' want anyone to think that they were deleted on purpose.

Should I post a thread saying that this move over today has caused the deletion of these?

If so, let me know!

you can type one up and I can copy it if you want................oh, and tell me where it would be best to post it!


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: BUC on January 30, 2009, 01:13:50 pm
Well for fucks sake don't post it in the news, no one will read it, LOL!

Post in the Loafing shed maybe?

Threads missing :( Like a bunch?

Once the new host IP is picked up by your computer you should be good to stay in.

Are there lots of people there?

Do they miss me?

Anything good happening?

And, and, and......

 ;D

Thanks guys!


I'll also post it in the Loafing shed.   ;)

This is who's on now:
Tbitt, jjones, LetsRide, Shadow, horselessnolonger, shygirl, Buffy, Jen, equusteacher, MidnightHill

Ya we have a few posts and a lot of threads just gone!!!!!

Not many people are on, so no, not much going on!!!



Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: BUC on January 30, 2009, 01:22:45 pm
Thanks Tbitt :(

I bet we can retrieve the posts after the move is complete. There was a back up made before we switched.

What a pain in the ass but it's worth it. If I had stayed with the old host we were in for another major crash like what happened a month ago.

Ok, from the computer illiterate here, what is DNS.  The head page says to flush the DNS and wait an hour then to proceed with some programming lines. 
I've been off since this morning.  I know I have a pm on the old board but that is all I can see  :)

I've been off since this morning.  I know I have a pm on the old board but that is all I can see  :)


On your computer, on the start button (lower left corner)  When you click "start" the menu pops up.  Click on "run".  Another box pops up in that corner.

Type in:

cmd

and hit 'ok"

You will get a brand new (bigger) window, usually it has a black background…..

at the prompt type in:


ipconfig /flushdns

Then hit the enter key.

It will run something REAL QUICKLY..............you will be back at the command prompt again

Type in:

Exit

and hit enter.

Then you wait for about an hour before you will be able to get back into MWH


It doesn't hurt to shut your PC down, and then turn it back on after a bit...............  that causes every program to reinitiate!


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Mass on January 30, 2009, 02:28:57 pm
Okay, so when I go into Windows it has a command and when I hit that the black DOS box pops up. Is that what I should be typing this in?

and Tbitt, I can read your IM, but I can't respond to it. I can read some sections, but can post nothing. Oh, and it is all green still.


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: BUC on January 30, 2009, 02:35:07 pm
GROWL. I'm still banned.

Yes Mass, type in the black box. Actually you can just cut and paste...but make sure you close your browser before you run it.

Maybe he changed it back to green. We talked about it but I thought he was going to leave it blue until I got there so I'd know I was at the right place, LOL.

The window you want is a cmd.exe window  (soomething like windows\syetem32\cmd.exe)

I'dstart from the start menue - just to make sure you are in the correct directory doing these comands.


Title: Re: Uh Oh
Post by: Mass on January 30, 2009, 03:05:56 pm
I was unable to do it from the start menu, so I had to look in Windows for the command. Which then gave me the black box.
I have done it now and now am unable to get to the old green board. So, hopefully by tonight, I can get on the new host.
If not, then I will call AOL. I want to be sure it's them that still has the problem, before I call and ****.

I understood the directions I just didn't know that the term was.  I still am off though :-\.  Thank you though, I appreciate it. :)  BTW, Tbitt, I found the pictures on my camera.  I can put them on photobucket or email them to you.  What ever you would like ;D
