They're showing here, Den. Try refreshing your cache, Ctrl+f5.
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Den on Apr 09, 2011, 16:35:45
Ctrl plus f5 does not seem to do anything am I missing something. I can view other peoples signature.  :dunno:

I've cleared my cache and re-loaded this page, Den, and your sig is fine. I suspect local corruption, so try clearing your cache and re-loading the page, see if that helps.

Check your profile to make sure the signatures are not turned off.
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Rik on Apr 09, 2011, 16:42:39
I did, they're not. ;)
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Glenn on Apr 09, 2011, 16:46:01
I checked mine, there were and are again now.
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Rik on Apr 09, 2011, 16:47:08
Now, did I check after you, or did Den try switching, bearing in mind he said he could see others' signatures?
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Glenn on Apr 09, 2011, 16:49:23
I only checked my own. I unticked it to see Den's sig.
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Rik on Apr 09, 2011, 16:51:03
I checked Den's. :)

Post by: Den on Apr 09, 2011, 16:55:10
I have tried rebooting, I have viewed using IE9 and Firefox  :puke: and pressed Ctrl + f5 and still nothing.  :bawl: just tried Chrome and still the same.

It's still working for me, Glenn.
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Den on Apr 09, 2011, 17:04:41
Thanks Glenn, answers why it does not work on lap top  :slap: but why can other people view them?
Any recomendations where to download more from?
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Glenn on Apr 09, 2011, 17:05:35

Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Ray on Apr 09, 2011, 17:05:58
I've just reloaded the tab on FF and his signature smileys have now disappeared for me as well.
Title: Re: signature missing

Easiest thing is to host them in your IDNet space, Den. I'll email you the files.

This is what I see, Glenn, using Norton DNS.
Title: Re: signature missing

I'm using Norton DNS too.  :dunno:
Title: Re: signature missing

I'm on Opendns, Rik, and I'm seeing the same as Glenn.
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Rik on Apr 09, 2011, 17:18:52
This is weird. Let me just pop off and have a cleanup.
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Rik on Apr 09, 2011, 17:21:05
And still I can see the smileys and the site.  :dunno:
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Glenn on Apr 09, 2011, 17:24:01
How about flushing the DNS?
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Rik on Apr 09, 2011, 17:26:02
No, still works for me, and in IE8.

I just flushed mine, now I see the same as you.

 :dunno: Weird, isn't it. That's obviously the next thing for Den to try.
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Ray on Apr 09, 2011, 17:35:39
That doesn't make any difference for me, Rik, still seeing the holding page.
Title: Re: signature missing

Curiouser and curiouser.  :shake:  Can you trace OK, Ray?
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Glenn on Apr 09, 2011, 17:37:45
Did you do it via the dos prompt? ipconfig /flushdns
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Ray on Apr 09, 2011, 17:43:32
From the dos prompt, Glenn.

Rik, this is my traceroute.

I've just tried it on my phone using the 3G network and it comes up with the same page.
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Rik on Apr 09, 2011, 17:47:20
Could you try with Norton, Ray?
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: pctech on Apr 09, 2011, 17:47:26
I'm seeing the GoDaddy holding page as Glenn is, cant do a tracert from here as the network firewall blocks them (am at work)

Changed to Norton I'm still seeing the parking page, Rik.

I honestly have no ideas left. How about if you Google Best smileys?
Title: Re: signature missing

looks like the DNS records on individual DNS hosts are expiring which is why you are all seeing different things because the registrar has directed all requests back to its page to prompt the owner to pay up.

Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Ray on Apr 09, 2011, 17:57:47
I get the same, Rik.  :dunno:
Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: pctech on Apr 09, 2011, 17:59:18
I expect OpenDNS and Norton will start seeing the holding page soon too.

Title: Re: signature missing
Post by: Glenn on Apr 09, 2011, 18:00:18
I was seeing the holding page until I flushed my DNS

I'm sure that's the reason for it. I recently migrated a website to a faster server (same provider) and the DNS propagation was somewhat slow. The resulting strangeness tied my brain in knots for a couple of days until it dawned on me I was working on two sites, both containing the same content  :stars:

Just tested from home (using Zen's DNS) and am getting the GoDaddy holding page.
