Something in the UBB software causes the system to frazzle out, so Dan's switching to vBulletin.

what link are you using? If it's a bookmark, it might be pointing to a page that doesn't exist anymore.

Try going to: http://www.dbsforums.com/

or: http://www.dbsforums.com/vbulletin/

Yes, it is back up. Go to the main page. Any other bookmarks will likely have to be reset.

Today I get an account suspended notice. So far 2004 is not a good year for Dan. :)

I don't get the message...Does this mean that the web host that Dan moved DBSfourms to has suspended the account?

That is exactly what the message means.

It may be that usage exeeded what Dan has purchased. I am only guessing.

I too can now get to both sites with FireBird, however I had to re-set my book mark for satelliteguys.

I'm still having issues with getting to DBSForums.com Something is wrong with one of our companies DNS servers, but, in the past I was always able to get to it putting the ip addy in my hosts file. However now I keep getting the account suspended page every time.

Well my workplace finally got their DNS straightened out, thus I don't have to mess with the ip anymore. Only took 22 days to get the DNS updated from the old server to the new one(my workplace didn't really do anything, so it may have been backbone related).

Your workplace DNS server may have a longer TTL set to override the site's TTL in the DNS cache. Thats why, when you change the DNS numbers for a domain name, it usually takes 24-48 hours for the changes to be reflected on-line, but some systems may take up to five days... usually.
