For the last week, I haven't been able to view the NWKA website or forum on my home computer, but I can view it with no problem on my work computer.  On my home computer my web browser says it's searching, and then I get a message that I can't view the website, and suggesting that there is a problem with the website address I used.  But I get the same message whether I use the address in my "favorites" which I've used for years, or I google the NWKA forum and try to view the address produced by Google.  Do the administrators of the forum or any of the computer wizards who are members of NWKA have any idea why I am having this problem on my home computer?

I have the same problem with my mobil phone on the site.  It no longer works on my phone but my computer will work just fine.

It happened to me on my mobile as well. From all of my PCs (work, home, etc.) it works fine.

But the problem isn't consistent.  For example, after several days of being unable to get on the forum from my home computer, for some reason my home computer is currently getting the forum.  I have no idea what the problem is.

(99% sure) It's all related to the DNS problems explained in other posts. That would explain why yours is working now, and why they'll probably all work eventually. Your ISP finally got the updated DNS info published and now it works. It just usually doesn't take this long.

I'm guessing most remaining problems are due to local DNS caching on your computer or other device.  If you're still having problems, flush you DNS cache (google it up to figure out how for your specific device).

That's true; I guess I didn't look at it very carefully on my phone and it started working a few days later (this was last week) so I didn't really follow up on it.

This is a fishing site, and they do call it fishing rather than "catching" for a reason, right?    An intermittent reward is one of the strongest training tools, just like the third punch of a lit elevator button :banjo:

I had the problem intermittently.  Deleted my browsing history, googled nwka.com and it's worked from there.
