Title: If you can't get on the relay site
Description: this might help

I know it helped Morsie and me.
I think there are some others still having problems to get on the site.
OK, if you like me, (yesterday) get the error that it can't find the server this is a great and easy to do solution, CR told me about.


I copy his text.

If you're getting a message saying it can't find the server, then it's a
different problem entirely. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
doesn't know how to find the new site. I'll give you a fun trick on how
to make it so your computer can always find the site (assuming you are
running Windows)

You need to find a file called "hosts" on your system. On my system
it's at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Open that up with
whatever text editor you have (Notepad, or WordPad work fine), then put
the following line in it:

216.227.222.49 bookrelay.com

Then save the file, reboot, and try again. Chances are real good that
you will be able to find the site just fine and dandy.


Hope this helps.
if not please let me know through a pm and I will try to help you get back on.
I know now how much it sucks not being able to get on the forum there. :ph43r:
