    Default DNS error

    I'm getting periodic DNS lookup errors. Not at the moment obviously. I can get on MWF and the Renovate Forum.

    P.S. Happens every time I click 'My Profile' button.

    The Forum is intermittently availability now. Can now see my profile but not New Posts.

    'New Posts' and anything related to 'My Profile' are still giving DNS errors. Forum pages loading much faster now.

    Rob, there was some sort of problem over the weekend but it didn't affect all members apparently.
    However that problem was with access to the forum, not parts of it as you report.
    Could you tell us what browser you are using and whether this is on iOS or Windows hardware?

    Firefox on Windows. I wasn't able to access the Forum at all for a while, now I can but not the parts mentioned above.

    Could you try a different browser, eg Chrome or IE?

    I was unable to get any access to any WW forums - again with a DNS error - from Saturday morning until Sunday evening. Using Chrome on MacOSX Sierra. I had presumed (obviously incorrectly) that this was because the Marketplace was being revamped. It has worked reliably ever since.

    Chrome presently can access all of the Forum. Firefox is still throwing DNS errors for My Profile and New Posts.

    I also had DNS issues getting on the forum over the weekend.
    I'm using Chrome on Windows 10, the problem seemed to persist for a few hours, then go away, and return again.

    Seems fine now.

    Regards, Jeff

    Problem was due to domain expiring. Was fixed around 2 pm Sunday. Shouldn't be any problems now or since around 3pm Sunday arvo.

    Are you logging in to woodworkforums.com or .com.au?

    I also had a problem with Firefox and to a much lesser degree with Chrome. Logged on with MS Edge in Windows 10 and worked all day on the new Market Place without a problem.

    The Market Place change hed nothing to do with the problem they were purely related to domain expiration.

    DNS problems can sometimes take a few days to be fixed depending on your ISP.

    If you are still having a problem try clearing cache. May not help but nothing to lose by trying.

    Cheers - Neil

    Many thanks Neil and Fred, all seems to be working now.
