Well Shirley...all I can tell you is that after clearing cache...scrubbing...rebooting...performing numerous cartwheels...the old site address https://www.wincustomize.com does not work and the new one https://www.wincustomizetest.com does. The older address works for the forums but that's it. This is true in all browsers I use.

 

this is a true and correct statement !

As of about 10 days ago, www.wincustomize.com is running on a new set of servers at a new data center. You can check where your computer thinks that is at via Start / Run / cmd.exe / ping www.wincustomize.com. If you get a response with an ip address of other than "Pinging www.wincustomize.com [74.204.71.162] with 32 bytes of data:", your dns/upstream dns is not updating to reflect the new site location.

I've forced through updated dns records with minimal expiry times to try and force other dns servers to flush their caches, but if they are failing to resolve the new site, that's on your isp.

If you continue to get crashes when trying to load www.wincustomize.com or www.wincustomize.com/whoami.asp, then please do respond back here with your OS and browser version and I will try to reproduce it further.

Nakor...Running XP SP3...Firefox 3.5.8

I also just talked with tech support for my isp and they said it has to do with your servers and that mine is updated automatically.

When I try this www.wincustomize.com/whoami.asp I get "server WALNUT2"

 

When I try www.wincustomize.com I get...and it's been like that since the launch.

For anyone having problems going to the site at the https://www.wincustomize.com/ URL in Firefox, you have to clear your cache entirely.  Make sure you are logged out of the site in Firefox and Internet Explorer, not logged at all.  Make sure you close both browsers, then open Firefox back up.  Next, you have to go into your Clear Recent History settings in Firefox, check ALL boxes to clear, and set the time range to clear to Everything in the drop down list.  Clear your cache, then close Firefox and restart it.  The URL in question should now work fine.

Issue found and hopefully solved. We use a cookie to store the theme of the site, which in your case is being corrupted and set to "[0,1]". Do you have any addon blocking cookies or any addon having to deal with site theming?

For the time being we have completely disabled this feature, which no one should notice as it was already semi-disabled.

And 30 min later, it should be fixed. Cookie on your end seemed to be trying to set a theme that isn't present.
