My Forumer
My Country:
Default *.30.forumer.com : Yahoo Domain & IP

Alright I have a few problams.

Question 1

First off what is *.30.forumer.com IP? because the one that shows in the Admin CP links me to a page that says "Server 1" and when I PING server 30 for it's IP the IP it gives me takes me to a page that says "Sever 15" so what is *.30.forumer.com IP address (see IPs I have used below):

a) 69.64.49.67 (Ip given in Admin CP)- loads a page for server 1
b) 69.64.36.9 (Pinged IP for server 30)- loads a page for server 15

Question 2

How do I set my domain up with Yahoo?

I mean I am not transfering it so don't suggest that as I am not open to it. I added both IP address and waited 24 hrs each time and when I go to my address/doamin each IP address took me to some forumer page for servers (1 & 15).

Not to mention Step 2 never showed up in the Admin CP even after waiting 48hrs.

This is a big issue for me because I like editing the HTMl rather then the Board Wrappers; but Invision_Free makes setting up a domain way more faster and simpler. I have had no luck with forumer and all support topics already made for Yahoo domains are not helpfule for 2 reasons:

a) No one helped the person
b) No one gave them an exact answer to their question

You can go to my domain which right now uses the IP address: 69.64.36.9 and see that it takes you to a usless page: www.eminainformer.net


Thanks for any help that will help!!

AND WHY IS *.30.forumer.com PREFIX NOT IN THE LIST???????

I would assume the second IP "69.64.36.9" to be the correct IP. Just because the page says a different server # doesn't nessisarily mean that's not the correct server - stuff is just copied form one server to another server when a new server is launched.

As for setting up your domain with Yahoo, I'm not sure how you do it as I don't host with Yahoo. I only have domains hosted with GoDaddy, Netfirms and DomainExplorer. What you need to do is change the "A" record (not the MX record, as I believe IF uses) to the second IP. Contacting Yahoo and asking them how to do this is probably a good place to start.

What do you mean Step 2 isn't showing up? It should be there all the time...

Please do not PM me for support.

Hi

We have the same problem. Changed the IP to the one provided on Admin CP. If input that url it points to a forumer.com page for server #1. We asked about this and was told to put our url in step 2 of the fdomains section in the AdminCP, but there is no definable step 2 with a place for the url (as I have seen on the screen shots of other boards)

This is what we see
