I initially had some similar issues with Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. For me the problems go away as long as I make sure I have just www. at the start in the URL bar and nothing before that, so none of the http or https stuff - with either of those I have issues
( Incidentally I do have the issue that I have not yet had any Email Notifications yet since the Forum is back up, even though there have been responses in Threads that I am subscribed to, and I have regularly visited etc…etc... so it appears that for me that Email notifications are not working as they should since the server move. . That’s not a problem for me as I never rely on them and just pop by occasionally anyway. But I just thought I would mention it - EMail notifications ain't a working, at least not for me.. )
I am having difficulty logging in with this account just now.

Some email settings may still have to be adjusted.

Do you have Chrome configured to use DNS over https?

Hans - Apologies for delay but when trying to respond yesterday evening I was shut out again and could only get the 'down for moving to a new host' info page - and that was on all the browsers; Edge, IE, Firefox and Chrome. I've just rebooted my router (as a desperate attempt!) and I cleared all my cookies yesterday. I'm obviously back in (for now) using Firefox, but still can't get in using Chrome or Edge now! Not sure why I'm getting all these problems (and expect to get locked out again here on Firefox). Can you, or anyone, suggest anything I can do? :scratch:
Regards,
Keith

The world's DNS servers are slowly picking up our new IP address. Some switch back and forth between the old and new one.
If you wish, you can edit the Hosts file in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc with a text editor. (It is a text file without an extension)
Add the following line at the bottom:

92.204.68.24 http://www.eileenslounge.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Save the file, then restart Windows.
Best wishes,
Hans

Stuart - Just saw your other email re DNS - Checked and mine is set to default (all my flags are at default). I'd be happy using Firefox to access the lounge rather than Chrome but, unfortunately, at least for the moment, I cannot guarantee getting in on Firefox. Seems I'm still getting directed to the moving host info page from time to time. Hans has indicated that there are still some changes working through the system, so perhaps it will all settle down in a few days (says the ever optimist!!). Thanks for suggestion though

Keith

Now to try accessing with the PC (Thanks for the hint Hans)

Interesting! Absolutely no joy with getting into the lounge with Chrome so I went back in to Chrome://flags and changed the DNS option from default to enabled. Then entered https://www.eileenslounge.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and was presented with warning message that the site was insecure! I went to 'advanced' and accepted the risk and I'm now back into the lounge using Chrome!! Whether this will work every time remains to be seen, but at least it seems, hopefully, that I've got some sort of 'work round' until everything settles down :clapping:

Edit: I saved the https liink as a bookmark, logged out and then logged back in twice and both times have been directed straight to the lounge main menu and log in page without the usual warnings, other than a red warning sign on the address bar.

We're working on getting a valid certificate for Eileen's Lounge. It will probably take a couple of days to be activated.
