Hi,

The forum is appearing online for me, what error are you receiving?

[shelteronline]

Thats very weird, i cant see it online at all it says

This site can’t be reachedshelteronline.boards.net’s server IP address could not be found.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

its that kind of error like i have no internet at all, and i dont think its a cookie issue because i tried a different browser it didnt work there too which is weird

Hi shelteronline

Looks to be the same error as in this thread, try clearing your cache and history and if you still get the error, wait 24 hours, (as suggested in the other thread) and see if you still get the error.

This is making me mad a little bit too much xD because i am not sure how it works for both of you guys but not for me nor any of my other tests worked, i checked it in my phone same error / i tried visitng through private windows in different browsers which means new cache and cookies, yet same error everywhere

i haven't even began anything to edit the site, it just didnt work like i felt there was something i am supposed to do to activate it or something

Withg your mobile device are you trying to access the site via your wifi, or via mobile data?? If wifi switch to mobile data and see if it works.

If you then have access to the site, hard restart the pc and router, (total shutdown, wait two minutes and turn back on, wait till router is back online before you power up the pc) and see if you then have access.

restarting my router to change my ip didnt work to make the forum work for me even tho my ip was changed

but i just ran a vpn then i was able to see the forum then i closed the vpn and now i can see the site as i guess it just enabled its cookies  / cache on my browser

The vpn probaly cleared out the faulty dns which was the problem, (based on the error message - DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN).

Good to hear you can now access the site.

this is very weird because it actually did go off for me about 30 minutes after it did work once i changed my ip, and not only that i sent it to a couple friends it did work for one and it didnt work for the other so now i feel like i cant start editing it and working on it to share with my community knowing that it wont work for all of them

i am 1hour away to have it passing 24h since i created the forum last night and i am pretty sure that wont fix the issue as ive already restarted my router ( changed my ip ) used different browsers, alot of stuff and now i guess the issue is in the hands of the proboard admins to fix their hosting issues or something like that

I can only say l have been able to view your forum since you started this thread yesterday, so the issue must lie at your end.

I know that is not much comfort,but just for info,and l am in Spain.

[elhombre]

A secondary thought.

What country are you accessing this from?

Is it a college or anything like that,where there may be some sort of restrictions in place?

The odd thing is that you can access support but not your own forum.

shelteronline , I'm sorry to hear you are having difficulty accessing your forum. I can however confirm there are no hosting issues with your forum.

Some things you can try (and yes I realize some of this is a repeat of what other members have suggested):

- Clear your browser's cache/cookies
- Temporarily disable all browser extensions (add-ons)
- Try a different browser
- Reboot your modem/router
- Flush your DNS


Also you mentioned a VPN. Are you still using that? We do not guarantee connectivity with VPNs or Proxy connections.
