I have a strange problem. From work (since yesterday) I only get the message "Sorry, Global Mapper forum is unavailable at the moment...." when entering the forum. I have tried 4 computers and all 4 browsers on all of them, clearing the cache also. From home there is no problem accessing the forum (Im writing this from home).

Not sure where to look for a solution, but I guess it is on my side and not on your side - just wanted to let you know if someone else also have problems accessing the forum like me.

    What that has to do is with your DNS cache. Try this at work on any windows machine. Type:

    ipconfig /dnsflush

    from your command prompt or from the windows run dialog box (start - run)

    I moved the site to a different server (long story) and it takes a while for the DNS to propagate. If you are behind a firewall or in a computer group / network (like at work) it might take longer.

    Let me know if that works.
