Post My forum has gone and replaced by spam site... help!
I have just a few minutes ago paid and renewed my domain name.

Now when I type in http://www.shakynow.com or even http://www.shakynow.freeforums.org I get directed to some kind of spam 'search' site... it's happening to my members too.

How can I retrieve my forum? Is my forum still around? Please help asap as i'm in a panic i've lost everything and may loose members who think i've closed!

Is is something to do with 'cookies' ?

:cry:

This is because you have only just renewed your domain:-
Quote:
Domain Name: SHAKYNOW.COM
Registrar: ENOM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.enom.com
Referral URL: http://www.enom.com
Name Server: NS1.FREEFORUMS.ORG
Name Server: NS2.FREEFORUMS.ORG
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Updated Date: 29-apr-2012

Both the links you have given are resolving to your site just fine for me.

Clear your browser's cache & cookies & try again. If it still doesn't work just give it some time for the nameservers around the world to update & try again.

Hi, thanks for that. I've just cleared my browser history and my site has now come back through both www.shakynow.com and www.shakynow.freeforums.org

However, now I have a new problem... I cannot login to my own forum. When I put my username and password in, it simply just goes back to the login page. It doesn't say nothing like 'wrong password'. If I click on the 'why can't I login' help bit it says 'It is also possible the website owner has a configuration error on their end, and they would need to fix it.'

What do I need to do? I can access my forum fine via my mobile phone but not on laptop. Strange?

Thanks! seems all ok now. I'll see how it goes. As you can guess i'm not that great with computers. God knows how I manage to run a popular forum!

Thanks again.

Paul.
