Sorry about the downtime.
The Forum was moved and although it was an easy and quick process, it took a while for the domain name to propagate to point to the new server.
Any idea why some people were able to log on after 12 hours and others, like me, had to wait a whole week? Perhaps the internet provider we use?
Yeah I am still learning about such things because I rarely move sites from A-B.
But I would say it is your ISP.
Theoretically, DNS zones are updated each day, and some every couple of hours, but I think that some ISPs lag behind.
I was able to see the site 2 hours after the change at work on Friday.
When I went home, I couldn't see the site at home during the weekend, and New Zealand had a long weekend, (3 days).
It shows there is a big difference between ISPs and unfortunately, I am at their mercy.The good news is that the site has personal name servers now.
This might not mean much to most people, but in a nutshell, if I decide to move the site again, there will be no downtime because the nameservers will remain the same.
However, I am likely to keep the site where it is for a long time as I now have my own server where I host a number of sites.
=Hi TA,
I wasn't able to get on, then I was, and then I wasn't again.
But it seems to be OK now. Thanks for the fix.God bless

Hi T8,I don't even know what that means?
God bless

http://www.holycitybiblecode.orgt8 I still can't get on right from Firefox, I had to go to History, now …. If I can do it again, I don't know… time will tell….Firefox can't find your new sever…. is there any other server I need to use?
Please send me a personal message, I will get it on my e-mail address…Thank you…Peace IreneComputers work fine, but smartphone still does not work.
Thanks T8 for all your efforts they are appreciated.
OK, I think I have got to the bottom of this problem.
I've found that my private nameservers were missing an A records in the DNS zone on the server. I've corrected this as it likely caused mixed results with DNS resolution.
I performed a DNS test on http://intodns.com and no longer see any reported issues. Please allow a few hours for these DNS corrections to propagate.Yay! I can log on to HN again!
I believe it was partly ISP related because the only time in the last week and a half I got on was when I was using my parent's WiFi connection.
I tried my own broadband and two other WiFi connections during that time with no luck.
Anyway, apparently the problem is solved. Thanks for the effort you put into keeping HN updated and running fast and smooth t8!
Great finally.
Twas a good education for me in A records and DNS zones.
Should add that to my CV, I am an expert now.
