Not sure whether this has been covered elsewhere, but navigating the Coin Talk forums has been somewhat difficult for me lately ... And that gets us to my question: When I go to www.cointalk.com (the home or start page of the site), all I see is this alert: "DNS service for this domain has expired with DNS Made Easy" and "To renew your DNS service now, please login to your account here and click on the Purchase/Upgrade/Renew link." However, once I am in a forum, I can read and even write - like now. Hope everything is OK, or OK again ...

Well, I just cleaned up my browser history and cache, and now everything works fine again. Whew.

Last evening was especially tough since I've come to depend upon this site for "unwinding" after a hectic day. I believe that no other site compares to this one. Many thanks to Peter and the Mods for getting it back up again. I truly think you boys have saved my life.... __________________ They also serve who only stand and wait....John Milton   08-22-2009, 10:52 AM   #6 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,515 Kinda brings home the old saying - you don't know what ya got 'til it's gone __________________ knowledge ..... share it   08-22-2009, 10:52 AM   #7 (permalink) HandsomeToad Urinist     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Arkansas Posts: 6,572 My Mood: Peter is probably hosting the site on his home puter and that's why he uses the DNS service.

I too was getting the same message. Man-o-man it was tough last night with no Coin Talk..... Yeah what he said! Except I didn't get on yesterday morning so it was even a bit longer for me. I hope I find out what's going on soon enough b/c it surely puts a crimp in my social coin networking. I know management is going thru some high tech changes but if anyone knows what the future holds, could you please post the link of explanation?   08-22-2009, 11:06 AM   #9 (permalink) GDJMSP Numismatist     Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: PA Posts: 23,515 As I have said in numerous other threads for the past week now - Peter is traveling and does NOT have internet access. There was an - ooooops - and it took a while to get it fixed with him being gone. 'Bout all there is to it. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   08-22-2009, 11:37 AM   #10 (permalink) chrisild Coin Collector     Join Date: Sep 2002 Location: NW · DE · EU Posts: 2,077 Quote: Originally Posted by GDJMSP There was an - ooooops - and it took a while to get it fixed with him being gone. Glad you guys figured out pretty fast how to deal with that ooooops.

I appreciate that the service has been restored and in tact. I spent my down time researching past Heritage and TeleTrade auctions and taking notes on items of interest, even noticed some which had sold in recent auctions and that are trying to be flipped on eBay or were re-listed a matter of weeks later on the same auction sites where they sold. Gotta do your homework. __________________   08-22-2009, 01:00 PM   #12 (permalink) kevcoins Senior Roll Sercher     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Florida Posts: 699 My Mood: this was the ongest 16 hours of my life   08-22-2009, 02:01 PM   #13 (permalink) ontime1969 Junior Member     Join Date: Jul 2009 Posts: 67 Glad your back, I watched pre season football and 80's movies last night.   08-22-2009, 02:27 PM   #14 (permalink) HandsomeToad Urinist     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Arkansas Posts: 6,572 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by kevcoins this was the ongest 16 hours of my life I hate ong days too!

My Gawd that DNS page looks nasty. To me it reminds me of work and I hate work! DNS is the title of the head nurse at the nursing home I work at; Director of Nursing Services.   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
