    One of my moderators is having trouble accessing my new forum.

    Others have reported problems soon after I made it accessible to everyone, but now he's the only one that can't get on regularly.

    It's off-and-on. (Mostly off)

    I'm thinking it's a DNS issue, but I'm not entirely sure. His browser tells him that the link is broken, and I've tested the browsers he uses with success getting on.

    Any ideas on how I can resolve this?

    Have yourself and them go into dos command prompt and issue:

    ipconfig /release

    ipconfig /flushdns

    ipconfig /renew


    That might do it since you've played with DNS.

    Truth be told, I haven't done anything. :shrug:

    The only thing that I did between installing vB and now is change the index to postal.php in my .htaccess.

    He's in again, so I totally don't get it. :(

    Thanks. :)

    Anyway, he's in Canada, and he showed me a couple of screenies.

    I'm sure it's a DNS propagation issue, and he's getting bounced between a couple of nodes, and at least one of them is showing cached versions or even no version of my site.
