I can't access any part of my forum.

I just created a Vanilla Forum, and tried to put in a custom domain I bought from GoDaddy, and now I've lost access to my account. It says the link is broken whenever I try to access my forum in any capacity, from front page to admin panel. Please help me.

    Hi there!

    It looks like you've found a little bug in our Custom Domain system. It seems like it doesn't convert your domain name to lowercase before saving it. I've fixed that for you and your site seems to be working now.
  • I am having the same issue. Can you fix it?
  • Hi @CSchleper, could you explain more about what issue you're having? I can access your site normally at http://plasmatherm.vanillaforums.com/ It doesn't appear you've set up a custom domain yet.
  • I cannot acutally. when I clicked on the link in your post, i get "Oops! This page appears broken. DNS Error - Server cannot be found."

    Your DNS looks correct from my end, @CSchleper
