OK until the DNS servers at your IP catch up, just type in this:

216.97.46.103/forums/index.php

in your address bar and then hit enter, you should be taken to the board.

Looks like Blide beat me to it, and he hotlinked his so that is much easier to use. See you at the new and improved board.

well this is frustrating, apparently all the button on the site are in dns configuration. So while I can navigate the site and read, if I hit "Reply" it takes me to the sorry error message. I am not going to type in the long strings it takes to get to a posting window so I am a lurker until the DNS system catches up.

Since DNS servers go down from time to time, we might want to think about links that dont use them. Dont know how much work I am talking about to do this, maybe that is way beyond reasonable. But I remember at least two times in the last year or so when my IP had its DND servers go down for some period.

Is there any way to check our private messages.

Yes, just login and when you click the "You have new message" link on the main page (not the pop up) remove the "http://www.dfwmas.org" part from the url and replace it with http://216.97.46.103 and click refresh.

When I click on the link it works just fine, no problems.

MY IP has apparently refreshed its DNS servers as the link in my favorites now works when it did not earlier. You should be fine soon.

Still not working. Gary, I'll reply to your message whenever it starts working.
It must be my day, I normally get 5 PM's a year, but on the day the server is down, I get 6.
Funny how life works.
Anyhow, I'll respond to the pms when it starts working for me again.

mine does not work at home or at work. Even when I follow the IP link it works til I click on forums then goes to the DNS error msg.

If you are getting the DNS error, then the refresh interval of your ISP is too long. The only thing you can do is either modify your computer's host table, or wait.

If you don't know how to modify your host table, don't ask because it's likely to bite you down the road.

It just came back up for me at home.
