Yea...to get to it just click start...then run...type CMD in the field and hit OK. You will get a command prompt and that is where you will type in ipconfig/flushdns and then hit enter.

Hey Don, Default Theme has the vBulletin logo
Freebird replied to GigaWhiskey's topic in Watering Hole
Thanks...I had that enabled for some testing on the old server and forgot to turn it back off. I'll do it now. -
The buttons are linked to venturerider.org If you are coming here with the IP address of the new server, and venturerider.org still won't work for you, then there are two possibilities. Either it has still not propagated to your ISP service or you need to clear your browser's cache so that it flushes out the old info. A Small Orange was the company where the last server was hosted. I have canceled that account and that is why you see that page and not our site.

Classifieds is working fine from me. Some of the links will not work for folks until the propagation has completed. The awards are a different problem. That is a custom program that I installed for the old version of VBulletin. Unfortunately, it will have to be modified to work with the latest software. I'll get to it and thanks for letting me know. It will probably be a couple of days though.

If you have any problems, please clear your cookies and try that first. If the side menus won't turn on or off and etc...or other issues. It is possible that you have duplicate settings for the site due to the different IP address. So far, things look great on my end. Hope it continues. I'm fairly confident at this point that we are going to be OK now.

By the way, I have to say that from here, the performance of the server is much better.
-
It just propagated to me a few minutes ago so at least I know it is happening.
-
Well...I'm happy to say that it has propagated now for me. When I go to http://www.venturerider.org, it does bring me to the new server.
-
OK folks....many of the items in the blue menu bars are hardcoded back to venturerider.org so if you click on them, they will take you to the old server. If you are navigating the forum, use the links on the left BETWEEN the two menu bars. They will keep you here where you should be.
-
Please not that until the new IP address of the server is finished propagating, clicking on some of the links will take you back to the older server. If you click a link and see http://www.venturerider.org...whatever in the address bar, then you have been taken back to the inactive server. Hopefully it won't take too long for it to complete the propagation.
-
If you can read this, you are on the new server.
-
Just a note to let you all know that I am getting ready to do a final backup of the site. Any messages posted from the time that I do the backup until we go live with the new server, hopefully early tomorrow morning, will be lost. So if you have anything important to say or ask, you might want to wait until tomorrow.

OK...here's the latest update. Yard is mowed. Gazebo is rebuilt Porch railings are built, installed and painted. Site is ready to go on the new server but the nameservers had STILL not propagated so it's still a waiting game. Now I have another little job to do. Gotta repair the Altec speaker that WAS mounted high up in the corner of the front porch. It was mounted there until I was hammering in a new rail and it fell on my head.
-
I just spent about 6 hours rebuilding that dang thing. Welding, drilling, bolting, cursing.....
-
I'm only going to say a very little about this. I would like to sell my pond. You can also have whatever you find in the bottom. Here are a few rules you might want to remember when you get it home. 1. Ponds are always hungry. 2. Gazebos are a lot like sails or parachutes in high winds. 3. The water is still COLD this time of the year. and that's all I've got to say about that.
-
Yea..I'm going to bed now. It's just a waiting game now on the new nameservers. Nothing I can do and it could be several hours before they go active. Night all.
-
LOL.....I'm just afraid I won't have to.
-
OK folks..the site is uploaded and working on the new server. I can't flip the switch and send you to it though because the nameservers that I had to create have not propagated yet. I don't know how long that will take and it's out of my control. Once the new nameservers are propagated, I can flip the switch and point the site to the new nameservers...in other words, we'll start using it. Depending upon how long it takes, I may do another complete backup of this one and then restore it to the other one so that we don't lose all the posts since I started all this mess. We'll see. It takes a long time to backup and download this site, it's well over 2000MB now. Then I have to upload it to the new site and restore it. If it doesn't take TOO long, we'll just lose the posts during this time span.
-
Well...I did a complete backup of the site so message posted between then and now will be lost after the move. I am having to create new nameservers because we will have our own nameservers now. I have finished that but I don't know how long it will take them to propagate. I am restoring the backup to the new server but once thats done, I really can't do much until the new nameservers are propagated, Then I'll point the domain to the new nameservers and we will be good to go. Sort of a waiting game now. I hope they propagate soon. I hate to lose TOO many posts.

Remove the black cover again and coat the metal parts with white lithium grease. That should do it. Pretty common problem. Also good idea on the saddle bag latches.
-
Yard is half mowed, porch rails are half built, site is half moved.
-
Thanks...what I really want to do is RIDE. All I have to do this weekend is get this site moved and working properly, cut the 4 acre yard and finish rebuilding the front porch railings. Just too busy right now. Believe it or not, the bike hasn't been out of the garage YET this year. I also have two new tires sitting in the garage but haven't had time to get them mounted.
