    Allow me to explain...

    When moving hosts, the information assosciated with the domain needs to change so that it points to the new server. The current system, called DNS, takes a while to fully update. There are many DNS servers, and people in different areas use different DNS servers. While the DNS servers are updating (known as the propagation of the change), some servers have the new (correct) information and some of the old info. The people who's DNS servers havnt updated yet will see the message shaggy left up on the old server, until their DNS server updates. If you can see GR correctly then your DNS server has updated.

    Clearing cache/cookies isnt going to do anything, they'll just need to sit back and wait.

    Hope that helps.

    Well, at about 11:50 pm last night, I got the server change message. I cam on this morning, and I saw GR fine. Then I left to watch the rest of the world cup, came back, it it doesnt work again.

    My main computer isn't allowing me on the site. I am on my moms computer, and she doesn't like me being on it.

    Yeah I had that a while ago, it should start working though because mine started working after a little while. Mine just started to work 10-15 minutes ago.

    Snipe. ;)

    EDIT: Clear cookies/cache Vision, it should work than. Try CCleaner, a freeware program that removes these kinds of things, or better yet... go to your browser settings and clean all the internet history and cookies.

    As i said, you need to just wait. DNS can sometimes take up to 48 hours to propagate completely. Theres nothing you can do to speed it up.

    Galahad{oc} is also having this trouble.

    When it went down last night i checked after 5 hrs, still down i went to be and came on and seeing as he couldn't get on i figured it was still down, i only just got on, now after 15 hrs or so.

    he cant get on now, i guess the new server has bugs that need tweeking.

    Can you please read before making posts like that? We really dont need to know everyone who has a unupdated DNS server.

    Its nothing to do with the new server.
