Hi

We're changing DNS so you may experience a brief outage, but it will be brief.

You can join Twitter and talk to @absolutewrite, or even frolic on the G+ group right here:

At least there was a reason I suddenly found the forum inaccessible! I thought it was my internet connection -- it was running super slow last night.
Two info posts I've seen this morning were posted around 3 hours after I found couldn't get on here

That's one way of making sure I go to bed at a sensible hour!

Currently I'm finding that the site doesn't come up if I type in the usual "absolutewrite" URL (or click on my Favorites link), but does with the numerical address (184.168.82.237/forums).

It's working fine here now, although it wasn't yesterday. Welcome bacik!

Sounds like you have a cached version. Try clearing your cache (lots of ways to do it depending on what you are using to access the forum).

I'm still not showing AW for .com but am accessing quite happily for .net!

Someone was excited to see AW back up and running.

I'm still not able to access the board via the .com addy, just the .net addy.

FluffBunny · May 20, 2013

Same problem here. I've emptied both cache and history in Safari, restarted Safari and restarted my MacBook and no joy. According to "Is Everybody Down or Just Me", the site is up, but I can only access it via the .net domain. *bows gratefully in the general direction of Mac & Co. for having the mirror in place*

Dammit I'm able to link to everything without any problems, as usual, not that this helps anyone else!

If you're still having problems, as JustKia suggested above you might try clearing your browser cache, there's a FAQ for this if you need step-by-step instructions:

Gawd, last time I cleared my cache it logged me out of all my sites and it took me ages to remember all the passwords. Right. Here goes.

*wanders off grumbling* :tongue

Nope. Nothing. :/

Fran · May 20, 2013

Didn't work for me either.

Nothing, emptied everything, even restarted my computer and nada, zilch, zip.

Go ahead and use absolutewrite.net.

It's going to be a bit longer I'm afraid.

asroc · May 20, 2013

Can you guys try a different browser? The dotcom version is working fine for me here in Firefox (default brower), but I experimentally tried Safari and Chrome and both give me 502 errors.

FluffBunny · May 20, 2013

I've tried everything, including a rather severe Safari reset and no nada. I can get to a pretty crappy representation of the the AW main page by using the IP address, but if I attempt to click any of the links and it switches to a named page, ("www.absolutewrite.com/whathaveyouhere"), I get a "Safari can't find the server" splash page.

I can't access it via my iPad or my Linux box running Ubuntu (Firefox browser), either. Both of which I also cleared cache, yadda-yadda.

ETA: Just tried Google Chrome on my Mac and bupkis.

amergina · May 20, 2013

I can get on .com from work, but not home.

You should be fine using absolutewrite.net/forums

The main site will take a bit longer.

IE10 here, am using .net and the adds, etc., don't come up. If I click on a link in a thread I get a 502 error message.

The ads will take a bit more work on my part, but I can't do anything about them yet.

There's nothing to do but wait it out for a bit longer.

FluffBunny · May 20, 2013

Not a problem, other than we'll all owe you a beer when this is done.

At this point I'd like a nap !

(Yes, yes I'm getting older . . . why do you ask?)

FluffBunny · May 20, 2013

Fine, fine; beer first, then nap and then shawarma after.
