Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer

Truthfulpaw had the same problem, when he dowloaded Firefox, everyhting was fine. Try that, if not, wait to see if something happens.

What is your forum hosted by?

try what and my forum is hosted by http://phpbbforfree.com

i downloaded firefox but it says The operation was timed out when attempting to contact s2.phpbbforfree.com.

I don't know why I know this but they have had a server upgrade recently, they may have some technical difficulties. If the problem persists for a week, contact the Administration at phpbbforfree.

iv'e emailed em but they didn't respond

Is there anything I can do at the forum for you, or does it require your personal attention?

No i will do WHATEVER It takes to get on there, I WILL!!!!!

With a service like theirs, they may not respond for a week. Now you have to wait it out and hope for the best.

yup,well thanks for your help truestar

For now, maybe you should contact the third admin (his name just slipped my mind ) and have him take over for you on the radio talk show thing.

Could it be a problem with your modem, or do other sites and/or other programmes using the internet work fine for you?

everything else is fine except for that one forum

oh sorry guys

It sounds to me like a server-side error. There's nothing you can do. Wait around for them to get their new servers up and running, and your forums should be back online. That could take hours, days, weeks, even months. If they were doing a big enough upgrade, it could take a long time to get the new servers installed and the data all transferred over.

Just wait it out.

THE SERVER IS NOT DOWN IVE SAID THAT ABOUT 10 TIMES!!!! :x :x

PLEEEAAASSSEEE SOME ON HELP ME I BEG OF YOU
PLEEEEEEEEAAAAASE

There's nothing we can do. It's called a server problem. Like I already told you, if they've just upgraded their server, you're going to have to wait it out until they get things fixed. A problem on their end is the only explaination for why you can access every site except for their's. There's nothing me, you, or any of us can do about it; it's all in their hands.

The only other possible explaination is that your forum was never created. Perhaps it was lost in the upgrade. However, I think it would at least forward you to a "This forum does not exist" page on the main site.

Also, don't post in all capital letters, or double post; it's annoying. People have said what they have to say, so there's no reason to be double posting and yelling.

oh srry

BTW i didnt realize i double posted
