Apparently so. I'm back where I want to be after a miserable afternoon, and it seems faster than ever. :smile:
 
That explains why this morning when I looked at General Discussion, there were only a handful of people viewing. Probably most of the DNS updates were done overnight, and my ISP didn't get around to it until mid-day today.

goto run then type ping physicsforums.com

the IP should be 75.126.62.146
Is there a Mac version of these instructions? :biggrin:

I'll just assume that by morning I must be on the new server, if I'm not already.
 
Try this Moonbear:

1. Double-click on the Hard Drive icon > Applications folder > Utilities folder > Network Utility program.
2. Select the Ping tab and enter the hostname, where hostname can be a domain name, a machine name or an IP address. (i.e. physicsforums.com)
3. Press Enter.
 
That's what you get for being the newest mentor...someone had to stay behind and lock up the doors and turn off the lights at the old server. :biggrin: Glad you finally were able to join us over here at the new place.

The server is not hosed. I screwed up and had to assign the hostname a different IP which sets back the DNS again.
You should have just blamed it on the server. :smile:
 
so what happened :confused:

Modern technology. :biggrin:
It's not modern technology it's the people who try to run the modern technology.

ahh...all is right with the world again.
Now it is! I've been home from work for hours and couldn't get on! Apparently whatever needed updating happens faster with the university server than for my home IP. :cry: It was torture! All I had to entertain myself was the crazy cat intent on biting my toes tonight. I think she O.D.ed on catnip!

Yay! I'm here, finally!

Looks like I spoke too soon. :blushing: The next time I tried to connect, I got a plain site directory listing with nothing but "Parent" and "cgi-bin" folders. I figured I must be back on the old server again, where the old site had already been dismantled, leaving only those remnants behind. It was that way for more than a day. I think I'll just lurk for a day or two, until I'm satisfied that things are stable again. :rolleyes:

At least I could occupy myself with the World Series in the meantime. Unfortunately the conclusion was not to my liking. Detroit's pitching staff needs to spend the winter working on their fielding skills.

I saw the same thing for more than a day. :cry:
 
Are the new messages and members from the old server going to be merged to the new server?
 
All i can say is well done Greg, now you can relax with elli may, but from now on take a holliday from server gizzards.
