Site Migration - 3-5 Sep 10

I tried a FTOTM link that doesn't seem to work:

Banner links don't look like they're working yet

Hello,

Thanks. Just tried the FTOTM link and it's working. The banners from what I understand have always worked. Just tried to reload the page and clicked on them. All appears to be in order. I can't see why both the FTOTM and banner links would fail as both the new and old site are up in parallel so regardless of DNS issues you should be able to retrieve something.

Anyway, can you guys try again?

There was a mailing issue however. Notification e-mails were not being delivered. They're now being delivered but I'm seeing rejections from a few mail servers stating that my IP has a poor reputation. I suspect this is because there isn't a PTR record for the mail server. Need to fix this.

Mails to titus@canreef.com and support@canreef.com are still down also.

banner ads dont work for me either i just tried

Hello,

Can you please kindly let me know if it's the graphics not displaying, or when you clicked on it it doesn't direct you to the vendor's site? If the graphics is not displaying, can you right click on it and see what file it is attempting to load? For Firefox, it's right click -> Copy Image Location. For Internet Explorer, it's right click -> Properties -> Address.

I'm also seeing a bunch of mail bounce back. Some are because the member's e-mail is not valid. Some are because our IP is being blocked. If you have a shaw.ca address, then you'll most likely not able to receive e-mails from the site. Shaw.ca believes our mail server has a poor reputation.

If I click on a banner ad, I get a "...because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection..." message.

If I click on the FTOTM link, I get a "...because Safari can't find the server "canreef.com" message.

For either error message if I replace canreef.com with 216.187.96.54 in the address bar, they both work.

I do use shaw.ca, so I guess I'll change that.

Hello,

Mitch, thanks and that's very interesting. Can you do the following:
1) Start -> Run, type Cmd, press Enter
2) Type "nslookup www.canreef.com", press Enter
You should see it resolving to 96.31.86.198
3) Type "nslookup mail.canreef.com", press Enter
You should see it resolving to 96.31.86.198 also
4) Type "nslookup ns1.canreef.com", press Enter
You should see it resolving to 96.31.86.200
5) Type "nslookup ns2.canreef.com", press Enter
You should see it resolving to 96.31.86.201

If the above doesn't return the proper info, do:
Type "ipconfig /flushdns", press Enter
