Site Opening Issues
« on: August 22, 2013, 07:02:08 AM »
OK guys I need YOUR help this time. When Amskierboats.com went down for a day weeks ago to move the server it went to a "cloud server"?? When it did this the home page went to a "generic look with no boat  picture & all the text on the left., was much slower to load, but was fully usable. (Member count was listed at 444) ISSUE: When I open the site now in either Google Chrome or Internet explorer I still get the same temp. home page, very slow to load, still says it is hosted on the "cloud", still says Memebrs:444 but when i click on the forums and opens those pages it is up to speed & current. In talking with my brother Dan he says that temp. cloud screen was only there for a day or two & his screen opens up to the normal home page with the blue 18' pictured, and the current Member count is much higher!
I have cleared history, cookies, everything I know how to do except erase & reload the browser (really don't want to loose all my bookmarks)
Any Help out there??

I wish I could help Ron. I'm not a techie in those regards.

I can tell you that my work PC which is an old XP machine that does have a Chrome browser I get the same results you speak of.
My home laptop which is WIN8 with nothing Chrome works perfectly fine so I have no idea what to tell you. I'm guessing it obviously something with what OS you're running.

Hopefully, somebody who knows something about this will chime in.

I figured it out, a collections of neerdy 20 year olds couldn't do it,  so I tried something simple & it worked. After erasing every cookie, cache, & every other thing I could come up with didn't work. Typing in the address into the  URL bar still came up with the Temp home page. (even the nerds with their smart phones couldn't open the site) 
I deleted the bookmarks, opened the google search bar, typed in American SKier Boats, saw the link for the forum site, clicked on that & the "normal" site appeared with 30+ new members added since I last saw the real count!!! Bookmarked the new find & it works again!!  The only thing I can figure out is that when you type in the address you cannot add the shield icon to the address, but when you go through google & bookmark the address the skier shield icon stays there & works...I guess we need "the Shield"
