I have no idea what that is.Short answer: DNS propagation. Glad you're back
But it is great to be back and equally as great to see your pretty face

Aw, you just made my day, thanks..... and DNS propagation? Ok, in oversimplified (my kind of) terms.... it's like people understand URLS like www.server.com..... but computers don't care about names, only numbers. So there are Domain Name Servers (DNS) that translate the names we know into the numbers computers want. When you change the numbers that go with a name, it takes time for all the DNSes around the "interwebs" to learn the new numbers. Some refresh more often than others, etc...... it's an inconvenience, but this too shall pass

and thank you for the simple explanation. Makes perfect sense.
Just learned something new!
Thread is dead. That's what I said.
I am still having trouble with this site and I bet many others are as well.
Can not even post anymore... had to edit this (which it didn't want to let me either).
This is very frustrating! Glad I am going to work and hope it is fixed later.

I finally flushed the dns and now it seems to be working smoothly (crossing my fingers). Lol. I'm guessing anyone who has been here before the upgrades will have to flush the dns or else experience technical difficulties.

Prayers sent your way JM.
It's the magic internet squirrel servers that tell your computer that thinks in binary. (1's and 0's) that www.vapingunderground.com is actually at 162.159.248.230...so instead of you needing to know a buttload of seemingly random numbers the DNS servers of the interwebs convert it for you.if they move the server to a different address, it has to update a bunch of these lists all over the world...it takes time sometimes, until it has propogated to your ISP's server, it keeps sending your computer to the old address and you get the electronic version of "return to sender " displayedI have no idea what that is.

Or Just call it frickin' magic....

Just a thought... Can it be disabled to hide our status if we're just lurking around?
