tomturd Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 For one reason or another (DNS changes for those that are interested) - TF may (but hopefully wont) become unavailable over the next 48 hours for some of you. BUT, that will only happen if you try to use the www.trials-forum.co.uk address.To ensure you can still access TF,USE/BOOKMARK http://83.170.72.216/~trials/ AS THE ADDRESS FOR TRIALS FORUM FOR THE TIME BEING TO BE SAFE!I'll let y'all know when its safe to switch back (infact I probably wont as it'll just start working again, as I said last time, like magic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Just a bump.. seems like things are starting to happen.If you have any mates who are having trouble getting on, tell them to go to www.trials-forum.co.uk (not trials-forum.co.uk/forum or anything) and it should work.If not, http://83.170.72.216/~trials/Will definatly work.

yoyoyo Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I've never understood why some people find difficulites whereas other don't when connecting to UK sitesEven if they live the same distance away... :SI think it might have something to do with the operating system, or there internet supplier/program that they use. But thats just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I've never understood why some people find difficulites whereas other don't when connecting to UK sitesEven if they live the same distance away... :SIts because to get to trials-forum, first your computer goes off and asks you ISPs servers how to get to it. Your computer then uses the data it gets back from your ISPs servers (think of it like a map) to go off and find the server with trials-forum on it.However, If I change where TF is, then I need to update the map. Cos there are squillions of ISPs servers all with a (now outdated) map on how to get to TF, it can take up to 48 hours before the updated map gets to them.Some servers will get the new map before others.. meaning some people can get to it, and some cant.

tomturd Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Moving data centres then or something?Noooo.. just moving from the registrar our name servers were *meant* to be registered with to another registrar, so we can do it properly this time (they were 'bodged' with the old registrar and they wouldnt sort it out properly for us).As you can imagine if TF still pointed to the same DNS servers while the domain for that DNS server is moving between registrars, there'd be down time for everyone. So i'm doing it in a couple of steps.(So yeah, before you say it what I said before was slightly misleading, but got the main point across )(and that was even less well explained than my last post ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 (and that was even less well explained than my last post )If your on about the one with the map stuff, i understood it so it couldn't have been that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomturd Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Right its all gone through...Can people let me know if the following link works for you or not? (especially if it doesnt work for you)http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/index.php?act=idxIf all goes to plan we'll go back to using the proper domain instead of the IP tomorrow.
