Metropol: SCANDALOUSLY FAB

As of today, the requirement to log in to view The Lounge and Birdsong has been removed.

Our homepage currently shows a log on screen, but if you follow either of the links in the TV Forum drop down menu you'll be taken directly to either forum.

Happy reading.

Is this due to the change in the address?

No of course not.

Oh, I forgot to save that temporary address that Hyma posted about the DNS change....I'm sure it was:

www.metropol247.hymagumba.co.uk

but something more than that, obviously....

http://metropol.hymagumba.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1

has it stopped working for you stu? its still working at my end. i'm waiting for the email to tell me everythings been transferred before i play with the DNS settings.

It has indeed...and I tried through both my normal shortcut and through the link on TVF, neither worked.

I did have another favourite saved as "Hyma-Metro-Temp" but the URL was missing the 'bit at the end'.

EDIT: But that link you posted works fine, ta!

yeah not working here either.

ah, maybe if i turn off the rest of the site and just keep the forum going it'll fix that issue for those who also have it backed up like that.

I'll see if I can get a holding page on the other address too for the timebeing.

Right then, that SHOULD be all the changes done. I'll leave the .hymagumba domain running overnight to help those with slow DNS updates and then turn it off in the morning to see if there's any lingering problems.

Hmm, yeah the normal Metropol domain is bringing up this message for me (I guess my DNS hasn't updated yet);

Error 404: NOT FOUND!
Your browser cannot find the document corresponding to the URL you typed in.

Use this: metropol.hymagumba.com

The emergency URL is now set back to redirecting and the homepage has been switched on again. Any problems should fix themselves by lunchtime, if you're still having trouble let me know here.
