A lot of people can't get on but, their friends can (as evidenced by the PMs staff have been getting about people not being able to log on- we wouldn't be getting PMs if SOMEONE couldn't log in to tell us about it). So, I posted the article so that those who get asked about it can let their friends know what's happening.
Yes, I believe the issue has something to do with the DNS change. We can't figure out why some people are in limbo because either your ISP is still pointed at the old server or it's pointed at the new but, they are. ISPs update the DNS registry at different times (some several times a day, some every 24 hours, some every 72 hours) so, different people will be accessing the site from the old versus new server (all posts and whatnot are stored on the new server so, while this can impact performance if you're accessing via the old IP, nothing gets lost and you're the looking at the same SS as everyone else). Usually the DNS changes are done within 24 hours but, it doesn't surprise me that we've encountered some weird glitch with this after the problems we've had with the transfer. Hopefully the problem will be resolved within the next 24 hours since it's been nearly 72 hours since we submitted the DNS change. So, tell your friends to keep checking back every hour or so and maybe restart their modems/routers. Sometimes just reconnecting to the net will help.
