Is the old server still up? If so I'd like to access it if my lost posts can't be restored here.

Looks like half our members are still posting away on the old server. My home ISP is still directing me to the old server. THIS IS THE NEW SERVER.

See the pinned global announcement if you are unsure. Both servers have the same URL. You need to edit your hosts file to switch between them. See instructions earlier in this thread, or the pinned, thread.

THIS IS THE NEW SERVER.

My ISP directs my laptop (which I am using now) to the new server, but directs my desktop to the old server.

Okay, found them and followed them and got to a point where I had no idea what to do next. You'll see what I got to on the 'Old Server' ~ 'This is the Old Server' Thread.

I don't. FD will need to to see what I got when I tried his directions.

I am posting this on the laptop where I am on the new server, even though I did nothing.

On my desktop, last night, I was on the new server, and early this morniong, but later was on the old server, and did nothing to achieve that.

What I just do nothing FD. Will it all get sorted to the new server no matter what I do.

BTW....I just googled OzPolitic on the desktop and got sent to the old server.
