USER NOTICE
I expect to shift the Forum across to a new server in the coming days and that will mean an IP address and subsequent DNS change, and the time for that update to flow through to your ISP may make it inaccessible for a period - several minutes to several hours.
It may necessitate you clearing your browser cache (eg Windows: Control + F5 or Shift + F5 keys) to make your computer (and hence your ISP) force a lookup of the new IP address.
So, if you can't access the Forum even though your internet is working, clear your browser cache a few times - and then refresh the screen in between - as a first step.
If you still can't see the forum, drop to a Windows command Prompt and type "ping ozlogger.net" then press the Enter key...
You should get a response from IP 203.xx.xx.xx but if the response starts 139.xx.xx.xx then the DNS really is in transition and you can but try again later. If it "times out" completely then I have a problem within the transfer process...
I will try to time it when I expect little activity by users to minimise the interruption but you can't say you haven't been warned !!!
