I think its because of the DNS switch. It maybe that for some users you're getting a link to the old site.....

Lets see if things clear up over the next day or so... If not I will look at it more deeply. I didnt get the problems you mention so it does seem like a DNS lookup issue.

P.S Their should be nothing to change on your side Morgz,, The DNS change was on the server side :)

yeah its ok for me too, but I suspect these are DNS problems which could be happening for Morgz and more importantly our other users :(

Morgz - what ISP are you with? You could also inform them of connection problems with this domain, see if they can do anything to!

Morgz can you make sure you email me at admin@signaturebar.com every time you see downtime. I want to check if it conincides with my tracker that I have setup.

Also have you tried clearing your cookies and history cache?

I have been running some simply DNS tests and everything seems to be ok. I can only assume that you need to contact your ISP to see what they say.

I reckon everytime you connect to our site it uses a DNS entry cached (i.e. saved in your ISPs DNS Server) It will eventually get refreshed but I can only assume this is the problem as I have run a few tests and everything seems ok on my side..

Im sorry I can't help anymore :(
