It seems that our underlying service (called both "proboards.com" and "freeforums.net") has made a sudden change to their DNS system... and it is kinda messing with us. I THINK I have a 90% fix working. JUST IN CASE: bookmark this: " ILIASM Forum via FreeForums @ iliasm.freeforums.net". That link -- a longer form of our address (iliasm.freeforums.net) -- should always work. I'll try to get "http://iliasm.org" working well again. (For me, at the moment, the "plain" URL will work, but bookmarks based on it might not...) Thanks for your patience! /Admin

Man, I was going cold turkey for a bit there... Me too! Glad there was a fix, and thanks to Admin for their work to get the forums accessible to us all again!

Admin, any ETA on when this will be fixed? The alternative URL no longer works either, trying to log in gets a strange error about a shortened URL that is invalid. I can only get in from a browser I never close on my phone.

OK, I've just been made aware of the "login problem" this morning. I and dozens of others have been using the site this weekend w/o problems, but apparently people who have logged out can't log back in.
Back to the drawing board...
Everyone: hold tight. (Related, I think: looks like many folks have been making a second login to reach the site. This shouldn't be necessary. I suggest: browse the site anonymously (w/o login), and re-login once we get our providers straightened out.

We are continuing to experience DNS difficulties, but a transition is underway now to a new, more ProBoards/Freeforum-friendly DNS provider.
Hopefully we will be back to "normal" by about this time tomorrow, meaning back on "iliasm.org".
If you've never logged out of the site, good, you should still have access at "http://iliasm.freeforums.net". TIP: DON'T LOG OUT. Those who did have been having trouble logging in.
That said, I think I've at least got "login" working again (temporary fix) for now. Try to login now at "http://iliasm.freeforums.net".
Regards, Admin

Thanks for doing all the work.
If you can't tell, I'm finally able to log in.

OK, I think things are back to normal. Here's what I consider "normal": - You can access the forum and correctly login at iliasm.org. (Note: no "www" required.)
- Bookmarks you made before the reconfiguration mess should work again.
- Links in posts to other posts should also work work again.
Anyone who finds that is NOT the case, PM me (if possible) or email the Admin email box. If you find other broken links, use the "Repost Post" feature and describe what you think is wrong. Note if you created a second log in during the outage as an attempt to stay connected, I request that you delete that second account and go back to your "original" one. Here's how to delete a login: - Click "Profile" in the forums menu bar.
- Click "Edit Profile" button.
- Click "Settings" tab; scroll to the bottom of the settings panel.
- Click the link "Delete Account".
Thanks for your support!

Hallelujah! I'm in. For a moment there, I thought I'd lost all my ILIASM friends. If you see a new memeber, Elle2, she couldn't log in either. ;-) LOL.
