You probably have to clean up your HOSTS file.

...and just in case you have no idea what that means:




1. Go to windows/system32/drives/etc/hosts

2. Open the hosts file with Notepad. It should look like this:

Quote
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# 207.36.231.178 themanadrain.com
# 207.36.231.178 www.themanadrain.com



3. Delete the last two lines (meaning any mention of TMD in there. Meaning the stuff I put down in bold in the above quote).

4. Save the file (do NOT use 'save as...' since this will cause problems with file extensions),

5. Reboot, and presto!

Is it possible to generate auto-PMs for when a poll gets changed and people have to recast their votes? I think if this was in place polls would be more accuate as they would get modified more frequently.

The site was down for a wee bit earlier.  Is this a common issue or just one today.
