Any way you slice it, this is just plain unacceptable.  I will contact the registrar to see if they can initiate some sort of DNS refresh.

I'm fairly confident that nothing is wrong on the user end of anyone - it is server side and related to domain name propagation.  What we are experiencing is a classic symptom of partial propagation of the new location.  From the IP address 66.7.194.3, it appears that the site is using shared hosting.  When domain name propagation has been completed, then the url http://www.susanminor.org will be fully functional.  However, before domain name propagation has been fully completed to all world wide servers, some people will be successful while others are not.  This can take up to 72 hours (as long as there are no other name server issues).

After full propagation this is how the friendly url works http://www.susanminor.org

Before the domain name has been fully propagated, this usually works to get you to the main page of the site http://66.7.194.3/~susanmin/  which is essentially the shared ip address followed by the account username, which is typically the first 8 characters of the registered domain name.

I also cannot access www.susanminor.org, but I can at least get to the "enter forum" page using this url http://66.7.194.3/~susanmin/, which tells me that domain name propagation is not complete, or there is an error somewhere in the DNS records.  Although I recognize the page that pops up, it can't fully function because the php will contain www.susanminor.org urls, which are not functioning for me

For those of you that cannot access the forum try this link: http://66.7.194.3/~susanmin/forums/

It won't be fully functional, nor look pretty, but you'll see that you will recognize the page

Cyber Dude, just be patient. I'm sure it's being looked at daily. Just give it time for everything to take affect and balance out. There is a lot of info that has to be moved.

Thank you for your effort and diligence, I would bet it's as simple as a transposed number somewhere that is causing things not to propagate to the right name servers.

I didn't look yesterday, but I just came back from checking and it has become active for me.

Thank you Cyber Dude, Habanero Smoker, and Raye for everything you have done and will do on this site.

Trying to go here.... http://www.susanminor.org

Brings me to this:

Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at www.susanminor.org.

    Check the address for typing errors such as ww.example.com instead of www.example.com
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I'm in Knoxville TN using Charter Cable.
