No idea why it's like this but some can use it without any problems. I can't get on to it at the factory so I may as well blame NBN but Steven says not. He can get on via NBN at Deakin. I can get on as DJ said above with wifi turned off and using phones data instead but can't get on using wifi which is through NBN at factory.
Logged in that way and there were 50 users on the forum.
Steven is currently in the midst of massive migration a heap of sited from a server that's threatening imminent collapse new server so the fix for the current MWF problem may take a little while.
Hopefully it won't be too much longer. :C

Anyone having that problem today?
I just tried to login via factory computer and the MWF address was in the address bar but what came up was what looks like a home page for Auskadi. Has anyone else seen this.
Not sure if this if this is a genuine page, but to be on the safe side if you see it don't click on it.
If so can you let me know and also tell me which service provider you are using. Factory is with Telstra NBN through wifi router.
MWF works fine from home iiNet cable through wifi router.
Steven has been alerted. Yet again.

Thanks for that DJ. It confirms at least one of my suspicions.
Will pass it on to Steven.

I just hopped onto the metal work forum from the link on this forum, haven't been there for a while, all looked normal to me.
I'm using a Mac with High Sierra, Optus cable, Firefox 65.0
Maybe the problem has been resolved now?

Having the same issues, Auskadi page coming up instead on Telstra ADSL

Auskadi, using both Internode on Firefox and Safari via ADSL.
On TPG mobile (phone and computer via mobile phone network) goes to the real metalworkforums site.
DNS address resolves the same in both cases.
Interestingly, on ADSL using https: gives me the correct page, using http: doesn't.

Unfortunately it's still an ongoing problem.
Seems that only some are having the problem as there have constantly been between 40 and 60 members on line since it began and mostly over 200+ visitor.
we even know who's site it is but no idea how it got onto the MWf home page as it's on a server here in Australia and MWF is on a server in Texas USA. It is one of many sites migrated from the failing server in Melbourne to a new one in Australia.
It's being worked on but yet to find a fix.
I tried it with https and still the same for me via factory. Fine from other locations
:dunno:

FWIW, Mac and Safari, Telstra NBN, wifi I get the Auskadi homepage and have been since Friday afternoon.
iphone on 4G gets me to metalworkforums.com
The Mac and Safari using the iphone's hot spot for wifi rather than my home Telstra NBN wifi brings up Auskadi

Getting Auskadi on opera from link on top of WWF have been for three days, tried clearing caches etc when it first appeared to no effect, and from plain Google search via Firefox setup up for completely private browsing (use it banking and don't want anything sticking around after) just now as a test. Win 7 Ultimate, browsers as listed, WiFi via bigpond & NBN to house.

That's most likely Google tracking where you have been and putting an ad up for that site.
OK.... SO HERE'S THE END OF THIS WHOLE SORRY STORY. I hope
I was finally able to do a tracert to MWF from my affected computer at the factory a couple of hours ago and discovered an IP I had never seen before. Sent it to Steven and below is his response:
That's an IP6 ip, the world is basically running out of the old style IP.
It looks like the system added an IP 6 record in the metalwork DNS. I've removed it and restarted the DNS server.
He also said "It might take a few hours before we see the change," ast he's "not sure how aggressively Telstra cache DNS lookups are."
So those not on with Telstra may see the fix sooner or later than the next few hours but it will change sooner or later.... Hopefully sooner.
Oh yeah. Almost forgot... http://www.ubeaut.biz/woohoo.gif
Thanks Steven. :2tsup:

It's all back up and working.
If you still have a problem and are seeing the Auskadi site hit your refresh button if that doesn't work hit it again. All things being equal you should now see Metalwork Forums home page.
