Anybody else having problems with getting to CBT?

thedutymon · January 1, 2011 12:50AM

Morning,
My link to CBT has been hyjacked or something! Even when I try and go to the site through a search I get some sort of site selling Office Supply's. Is this just my problem?

Thanks
Neil

Need to update your link in your favorites. Type the address www.cardboardtalk.com and it should take your there fine. Then add to your favorites again.

Ironmanfan · January 1, 2011 1:07AM

I got in

OAKESY25 · January 1, 2011 1:11AM

looks like it is gone

DavidPuddy · January 1, 2011 1:13AM

Can't get there at all. Not with IE, and not with Chrome.

Brick · January 1, 2011 1:23AM

Me too. But on the bright side I picked up some new cardboard furniture for the new year.

I can't get in via Favorites or by typing the url directly into browser.

jeffcbay · January 1, 2011 1:40AM

This is what I see:

^^ same as what I see

zep33 · January 1, 2011 1:47AM

I'd hit it

cubfan89 · January 1, 2011 1:50AM

Hell yea! She's nice, does anyone know who she is?

HeritageAddict · January 1, 2011 1:50AM

My guess is someone forgot to renew the registration.

HeritageAddict · January 1, 2011 2:03AM

On the plus side, www.cardboardtaint.com is available.

purduepete · January 1, 2011 2:07AM

I can't get in either...

daddymc · January 1, 2011 2:08AM

I can't get in anymore either.

lawnmowerman · January 1, 2011 2:11AM

Hey everyone.

CBT is now cardboardtalk.net

If anyone has any issues, email me at tyasee3@msn.com

Thanks!!

mccardguy1 · January 1, 2011 2:13AM

Well the board just celbrated its 1st anniversary, I can only assume the registration was not updated yet

lawnmowerman · January 1, 2011 2:16AM

<< Well the board just celbrated its 1st anniversary, I can only assume the registration was not updated yet >>

It's my fault. When I changed hosting companies last Feb, I assumed that I had till Feb to reup my domain.

Somebody else picked up the name so I had to go with cardboardtalk.net

gumbyfan · January 1, 2011 2:21AM

I checked out the new owners of the .com domain and they look like professional squatters. Lam.

thedutymon · January 1, 2011 2:42AM

Craig or Matt,
I still can't get there even with the CBT.net. Doesn't even come up in Bing search or anything. What am I doing wrong?

daddymc · January 1, 2011 2:48AM

www.cardboardtalk.net works for me now.

Google, Yahoo or Bing search won't pick it up for a little while...might be a few days or a few weeks, not sure, but it won't take too long.

You'll have to type in, or copy & paste www.cardboardtalk.net into the Internet Explorer or Firefox browser - whichever you use.

Thanks Stevek,

Got it!!

I figured that it might have been someone who was bammed from the site trying to get some revenge.

That would suggest that they had a credit card and $10.00 or so to secure the domain name. A far stretch for some that have been booted, I would venture.

CBT.NET makes me log in everytime to go back to the site. CBT.com worked great, anyone know what's going on?

I click on "LOG ME ON AUTOMATICALLY EACH VISIT" but it's not working.

NAH, there are companies that do nothing more than watch for expiring registrations (don't ask how they get THAT data-it requires the registrars to be in cahoots) and pounce on any high traffic ones that lapse. They will be happy to $ell it back, but they often let them go for nothing if they don't get an offer. The registration system has a loophole that lets people park and then back out, so this allows these squatters to float trial balloons past desperate folks who slip up and not invest much money. Just keep an eye on it, and I bet you can get it back in the next few weeks.

Dave ... same thing here ... Matt said to clear your history and clear cookies and it should work like it used to. I tried but it did not for me ... I still have to log in each time ... however, it only takes a few seconds ... sure, it's a PITA, but no too bad.

OK, I was just wondering what was wrong. I'll try it when I have time.

Thanks again,

I'm not sure what's going on with it. I'll ask my hosting company if they can figure it out.

Hallco · January 3, 2011 2:07AM

Are you the real Emmitt Smith????

I just talked with hostgator tech support. Here's what they told me regarding login issues:

(11:22:34 AM) Ricky Mo: I am testing this in two different browsers right now. Have opened it multiple times via tab and have posted a two threads on two different forum sections with replys. Nothing appears to be logging me out. SInce it is multiple users having the issue the best next thing to do is get the browser they are using including the operating system they are running on. From there I recommend a flush dns and if you are still having issues with them submit a ticket to support@hostgator.com to see if they can advice you on anything further as they may be able to see a few more things we cannot.

(11:27:52 AM) matt: what exactly is a flush dns?

(11:29:36 AM) Ricky Mo: Since you made a change from .com to .net their dns may still be seeing .com as some computers keep dns entries inside them for up to 30 days. ON windows they can hit windows key + r enter cmd into the prompt and hit enter. Then in the new window that comes up enter ipconfig /flushdns

lawnmowerman · January 3, 2011 5:17AM

The problem has been resolved.

With tech support/customer service centers being outsourced these days. you may be more correct than you realize.
