Cranfield Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 We have to get the Pigeon Watch link resurrected as soon as possible, I imagine a lot of our members (especially the overseas ones) may not visit the other Forums. If anyone is able to contact them seperately, please advise them of the new (temporary) link details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 The intermittent problems people are having will be there until the glue records are restored. Its all fine and well posting a link which directs you here, but some of the URL's on this site are absolute not relative. If you click pigeonshooting.co.uk and get sent here thats great, but when you click on something that links to http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/something and you can't resolve that name (still) it won't work. Until biznet tell nominet about the owners name servers it will be hit and miss, though most will be at least able to get on the site, some things won't work. If you want to, and I take no reponsibility for you doing this, you can make it all work without issues. I won't be explaining this to anyone as I don't have time, but if you are handy with the PC you can :- Find your windows directory, then go into System32/drivers/etc and edit the file called hosts. Edit this and put the following line on a line by itself at the end of the file (notepad works just fine) :- 213.253.1.228 forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk Then you will be able to use the forum using the normal address, post and do anything you like. Once its fixed you will have to remember to remove this line, if the admin moves the site someplace else it will stop working until you do.. If you aint using xp it will be different, if you are using unix/linux you should already have worked out what the problem was and fixed it by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 LOL, you have to question the sanity of someone who would post that on the very site people can't get access to What was I thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deako Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 We have allowed a link to PW to be posted on our site to let members get around the problem. Ironic really, seeing as any mention of our site on here is either scrambled or deleted. I guess we took the view that we are all shooters together and should work as such.
