Forum update and my computer

[Arcticwarrior]

With the new update to the forums and the new update to the game (after coming back), I decided to try to view the release notes and found that my computer continuously says that the website is down for maintenance. I've continued to check a week later to make sure and it appears that the website is indeed down. The only reason I'm posting this is because I'm on my iPod. Does anyone know how to fix this?

We have found that in most cases, this is caused by having outdated DDO.com-related host file information on the affected computer. Did you ever do a player-created workaround during past DNS issues for DDO.com? Check you computer's host file and remove or comment out any DDO.com-related information there.

Ah, thanks. I was considering it may have been an issue and I guess you just confirmed it. Should have reverted it a while ago, don't know why I didn't.
