I got in touch with my feminine side. She emailed me back saying if I ever contacted her again she'd call the police.

Site is just changing its place of residence, so it may appear to work unstable, as I grasp the problem... And it's recommended to duplicate the messages which one has sent during past day, because of they could be lost...

And check out this thread: http://www.flirtbox.net/london/i-swear-on-your-mums-that-flirtbox-just-crashed-.html#

i cant understand tho.how come i can log into flirtbox.com but cant log into any of the other flirtboxs.and other people can log into the other flirtboxes and use them but i cant.is this just the new server putting the finishing touches to the new system

having the same problem! Not happy!

log in as flirtbox.com (not as flirtbox.co.uk) - seems to work for now.

if you then click on profiles and some don't show - prompting you to 'log in' again, just change the flirtbox.co.uk to flirtbox.com in the address line of the profile (the bit that appears in front of the person's profile name), and hit 'enter' again... that works for now too...

aye there is a problem but just remove the flirtbox from your faves and cache that should sort the problem did for me .

hi i still cant log in to flirtbox ireland or even flirtbox uk.i have cleared my favourites and my browrsing history but still no joy.

i have just notice how come its only flirtbox ireland and flirtbox uk affected but flirtbox.com and the other flirtboxes around the world are working perfect.does anyone know?

Read my earlier posting to help you get round the problem...

flirtbox.co.uk seems to be back up and running but flirtbox ireland is not.

Sorry, thought the message was clear.

The problem is when moving to a new webserver, that depending on your location, internet provider, country etc... you will see either the old or new webserver.

Why is this?

When you enter www.domain.com in your webbrowser, there will be a query to something called "nameserver" that will look for the ip address that corresponds to the domain name.

So it will ask for "What is the IP for www.domain.com?" and the nameserver will return te IP of the webserver, such as 1.2.3.4.

As this usually does not change very often, many proxies and servers "cache" the ip address so that they dont have to ask the same question all the time and instead just remember the answer.

However, some remember the answer for some minutes, some for hours and some even for days, before they ask again. So when you are unlucky your proxy and the servers in between you and the website will store the old ip address for a long time and not find out that the webserver has moved.

You can however do a trick: Make a local hosts file and tell you computer to which ip address to go directly for a particular domain name without asking the nameserver.

So if anyone still has problems go to:

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

and add this line:

87.230.102.10 www.flirtbox.co.uk
87.230.102.10 london.flirtbox.co.uk

or:

87.230.102.10 www.flirtbox.com

or whatever flirtbox domain you want to access.
