Need help explaining this domain error.
Got this for a whole day, until I deleted all my Mozilla cookies. Once the old cookies were gone, I instantly had access again.
Can someone explain to me why, and where it came from?
Was a real panic thinking I could not reach the forum.

Re: Need help explaining this domain error
mozilla cookies have nothing to do with the outage of mozillazine.org
As stated in that message mentioned, ICANN shut-down this domain over what was evidently a "identification paperwork issues" which has been corrected.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. Mine has wandered off and I'm out looking for it.

Re: Need help explaining this domain error.
this does not help me at all--and the cookies I deleted should have read for this mozillazine forum
still getting this error, even after a full scan of computer--showing nothing wrong with my system, just got back into this site, after doing a flush of dns cache, based on this site, http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/mozillazine.org.html, telling me this site is up and running. I will see if the flush dns cache holds, but if it does not, and the error comes back for me, any other suggestions.. May have to go to local library to read if can't get in from my computer. If it's not cookies, what on the web is sending me this error where I live--Florida, and spectrum is the service.

Re: Need help explaining this domain error.
While the site was "down", it was still "accessible", though couldn't return any pertinent information.
So depending on how a site like isitdownrightnow works, it may have returned "running", which could very well have been the case, but not "running" in a state in which a user could do anything meaningful.
Otherwise, as the ICANN message states, it takes time for things to return to normal.
Likewise, takes time for things to propagate, so suppose there could still be glitches until all is updated, everywhere.
If things were not working, somewhat, we wouldn't be here much less able to post .

Re: Need help explaining this domain error.
At this point is it seems to be just a DNS propagation issue and you have to wait for YOUR DNS servers to be updated. I have Spectrum also and am in Hawaii and use LOCAL in Hawaii Spectrum DNS servers and no others. This site became accessible about 5 minutes ago on Fx 52.9 ESR. But interestingly, it was accessible on Edge browser much sooner but ONLY by typing "mozillazine.org" which took me to an ancient page from years ago here about the news site having gone into hibernation but the forums and knowledge base could still be accessed. However, on Edge EVEN NOW, if I type "forums.mozillazine.org" in the address bar, I get the ICANN message and can't get here but on Fx I can get here by typing "forums.mozillazine.org" so it must be more than a DNS propagation issue.

Me, (Having Rogers as ISP) I can't connect (having the ICANN thing). I only connect by using a proxy site.

Re: Need help explaining this domain error.
set 9.9.9.9 (quad9), 8.8.8.8 (google) or 1.1.1.1 (cloudflare) as your dns server.
my provider here in germany is still not up2date so changing dns helped out.

I will try the 8.8.8.8 etc.--still having to ipconfig /flushdns to reach this site. Had to do it now.

While it was out, I couldn't get here at all. Nothing intermittent, just out. Once it came back, I've had no trouble at all; works every time without fail. You may (or may not) have something else going on.

Re: Need help explaining this domain error.
I just got 404 File Not Found messages. Was afraid traffic had reduced to the point that Kerz pulled the plug. Glad all seems to be back and running

Re: Need help explaining this domain error.
Is this related to why I keep getting 404 errors when trying to use links in email to go to the forums when using Google Chrome or Vivaldi?
