DNS now done (I learn something new every day). Now we just have to wait for the update to take. If you want to test it at your end you can start a DOS prompt (start, run, cmd return) on Windows or a terminal window in Linux or MacOS and then type 'nslookup http://www.ditl.org' if it comes back with 66.172.75.35 then it's not updated yet. If it comes back with 213.175.214.202 then your good to use the names again.

Mine comes up with 63.251.179.13 as well as 8.15.7.117

What does that mean?

63.251.179.13 is the old number and I've no idea what 8.15.7.117 is.

Yeah, it was just different from the one you gave us, which confused me. IDK what the 8. one is either though...

Then you should be able to use www.ditl.org in the url rather than the number.

I'm having problems with the 'view active topics' button. When I click it this is the only topic that shows up.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Is this a new button or an existing one?

it was on the old forum.....it's the link to access the topics which have been posted in recently....for some reason this was all that came up, even though I know there were other active topics.
