Can't get through on my phone anymore. I'm on my daughters iPAd so I can access.

Its weird, I cleared cookies and history on my phone, and restarted it. I got a notification email and clicked it from my phone. It still took me to the old site.

I know there have been some problems reaching the site on the new server due to cached pages. I know because I am still having problems myself using 2 different PC's. I found success using FireFox, but I'm still having trouble with Chrome and Internet Explorer. Putting this out there in case it helps someone else who is having trouble. Try Fire Fox.

I'm running Windows 7, using Chrome, and have had zero problems. In fact if you didn't tell me I'd have never known that we had switched. I'm curious, what version of Windows are the people that are having problems running?

Thanks for all of the great compliments. It is always gratifying to have your efforts recognized and appreciated. You are all great!

As for the move itself, the results at my home are mixed. I have one machine that now refuses to see the new server, although it briefly did, then reverted to the old server. The other machine goes to the new site no problem.

The way it should have worked is everyone should have just switched to the new server with no noticeable change whatsoever. Some of you are reporting that experience and that is great. For others however, myself included, the switch has not been seamless. In fact, in all of the times we have changed servers with this site, this has been the most problematic in terms of the DNS (Domain Name Server) resolving to the proper host.

Based on your reports and my own observations, the problem does not seem to be limited to one kind of browser or one kind of operating system. All seem to be affected and, at the same time, all seem to be able to get through with no apparent pattern to their behavior.

I expected all of the problems would have cleared up by now. Usually it takes 24 hours, no longer than 48, for the new DNS to propagate. Unfortunately, for some, the frustration continues.

Skunkboat, the reason you can see the Gallery and not the Forum is because I never turned off the Gallery on the old server. It will probably begin returning a 404 error whenever the old server goes dark. Hopefully, by then, the problem will be resolved.

Charlie, I don't know what to tell you about your upstairs toilet, but I am glad you are able to see the site to tell us about it.

Everybody who cannot see the new server, please raise your hand.

If I turn wifi off on my phone it's like magic and can view it. As soon as turn it on, I get the message.
