To make forum work again:

Via phone - pull battery out of phone for 30sec, should work on restart

Via pc - go to internet settings and clear cache and stored page settings

Apparently called flushing DNS (as per other thread Phillip/Shaun info).

Now forums work again!

Yes, it's good now.

Here's how to DNSflush if on windows 7, got this from the new hosting company.

Please refer to the instructions on how to FLUSHDNS below:

### Windows® 7
To clear your DNS cache if you use Windows 7, perform the following steps:

1. Click _Start_.
2. Enter `cmd` in the _Start_ menu search text box.
3. Right-click _Command Prompt_ and select _Run as Administrator_.
4.

Run the following command:

`ipconfig /flushdns`

If the command succeeds, the system returns the following message:

`Windows IP configuration successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.`

To DNSflush on Windows 10:

1. Hold down the Windows key and press “R” to bring up the Run dialog box.
2. Type ipconfig /flushdns then press “Enter“. (be sure there is a space before the slash)

That's it.
