Hi,

Strange. I have not been able to access valuebuddies using firefox. Cannot remember when this started, but definitely some time already. In IE there's no problem. Just today, firefox works!

Hi Violinist,

I had problems with the url www.valuebuddies.com and www.valuebuddies.net. Cyclone, pls advise.

However, if the URL is www.valuebuddies.com/index.php , it works. Hope that helps at least in the interim. I'm not a technical troubleshooter so I can't advise further.

http://www.valuebuddies.net is not used anymore, it was just for temporary redirection to http://www.valuebuddies.com while it was down yesterday.

For Firefox or other browsers trouble shooting, go to http://www.valuebuddies.com , do :
1. Press CTRL+SHIFT+R (press those 3 keyboard keys at the same time)

If the above instruction does not help and if you are using Windows, do :
1. In the the command prompt, C:>ipconfig /flushdns
2. Press CTRL+SHIFT+R (press those 3 keyboard keys at the same time) again

These should fix your problem. Thanks.

Now both http://www.valuebuddies.com or http://www.valuebuddies.com/index.php should work properly.

I'm not sure if anyone notices this, or if I'm the only one experiencing it, but every time I click on the New Post hyperlink, it links me to the page listing the posts that were created on the same day, while clicking on Today's Post hyperlink links me to the posts that I have yet to read.

Is it supposed to be this way? Or am I interpreting the meanings wrongly? Lol... Nothing biggie, I still think Cyke is doing a monstrously good job on ValueBuddies

haha Jon-san, you are quite right. i often use the Today's Post link and get what looks like the last 24 hrs' post. Was functional and i used it without further thought. Indeed, "New Post" get's me only same day's as well. Since i was happy using "Today", "New" was rather redundant. Like you said, nothing biggie.

Hi Jon-san & mikh,

I cannot figure out why it happens and cannot solve the problem. I have reported the problem to the MyBB developer. Sorry.
