Default Mobile version not working.

Is it being worked on? I have not been able to get on here since last night using my Android phone.

There was some intermittent issues, I believe, on the network causing intermittent accessibility or performance issues a few times during the day and night yesterday impacting access the site. If you still can't access, I'd try deleting your browser's cache as I'm not aware of any current issues. But I'll do some checking.

Hi JT - Go to the C2 forum and see the brand new posts regarding this problem which still exists. Mobile users it doesn't work. Thank You!

Strange as I just logged into the app and I'm posting this from the app.

Can you tell me exactly what is occurring? I had no trouble downloading, installing, and connecting the mobile app. I found CorvetteForum from the list of sites available, I was able to log in and post the above message through the mobile app. We'll need more information.

I assume you mean the mobile version of the website (m.corvetteforum.com). I'm having the same issues - it appears as if someone accidentally deleted the DNS record for this:

$ host m.corvetteforum.com
Host m.corvetteforum.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

I've had problems all day yesterday and it appears to still be unavailable. Perhaps an incorrect edit in the domain's zone file at cloudflare?

OK. So we're talking about the mobile "skin" and not the mobile "app". That makes a big difference. We'll do some checking. Thanks.

Checked mine... it keeps coming back, "cannot open page, cannot find server." Every other app on my phone loads fine.

Yes Exactly! - We are speaking of the mcorvetteforum.com (aka mobile "skin" ) not working.

JT,

Here's the more technical description (I'm an IT guy):

$ dig m.corvetteforum.com

; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> m.corvetteforum.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

corvetteforum.com. 10800 IN SOA dina.ns.cloudflare.com. dns.cloudflare.com. 2013122612 10000 2400 604800 3600

;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 96


There isn't currently and A or CNAME record defined for "m" in the corvetteforum.com domain. Depending on how the domain is managed, this could be something setup/managed in cpanel with a provider, or if you're an old Unix/Linux hat like myself the DNS zone files need to be updated.

Typically the Zone serial number (2013122612) is an indication of the date and version of the change (Dec 26, 2013 revision 12) this would indicate someone likely changed something yesterday (though serialnumbers don't have to indicate a datestamp, so long as they're sequential in order.)

Went back a couple times since this post and just now. Still could not load it. Went to Safari and went to the corvetteforum site and it loaded fine, including my screenname/password saved. Apparently the old link was inoperable.

Count me in as another "doesn't work" vote. The only way I've been able to access this forum via my Android phone is by using a different browser (Chrome) and using the desktop version.

Add me to the list of having a DNS error on my Android phone. I also tried accessing m.corvetteforum.com on my desktop with the same no DNS error.
