I see the regular forums.

possibly dns problem. try reparing you local area connection. what it does is basically the ipconfig /renew command plus it clears DNS server cache as well as registers them. i say this cause i get the regular forums.

you mean change them at godaddy? i double checked them and they are correct. the problem seems to be that many people are getting the forums just fine. not sure why just i would get the error.

ah...it seems that wtfdetroit.com gives me the correct page. www.wtfdetroit.com gives me the wrong page 😕

 

[ForumMaster]

must still be a prob with the DNS server cause when i type www.wtfdetroit.com it gives me the regular forums.

No, the DNS in your ip properties. It happens to me on any sites if they just registered the domain name and it needs to prograite around the world's dns server. If your having the problem you mentionwith www.xxx.com working and not xxx.com its usually your ISP servers DNS is behind the others in updating the list.
