    I still get the old site IP Address. By using the new IP Address temporarily we can assist the DNS servers to find the new site and speed up the propagation.
    Hi Bill.

    Hello Gary,

    Here (in Munich) the new, Boutonic Xone is up.

    Looks great...can't wait to look around.

    Thanks for the work. It's not mentioned that often, but the merry band of helpers that seem to orbit Xara products are certainly a very important fringe benefit!!!

    Peace

    James

    Thank you, James, thank you Tim—

    See? The DNS is coming up if we just wait a little. PLEASE don't ping the IP. As you can clearly see, it won't take you to the Xara Xone, but just an oblique server area that's useless to users.

    It's not going anywhere, it will come up for everyone on Earth and certain rim planets within 24, and I'd like to usher all good Xarists to the discussion area stuck to the top of this new area...So we can discuss.

    The tutorial this month? The mini-tutorial (called Tips and tricks)? What you'd like to see more of? Less of?

    The Xara Xone is run by Xara, and it's hosted by me. But it's the community's resource, you know?

    Let's hear it,

    Gary

    Hi Gary,
    Happy to wait only trying to be helpful, letting the powers that be know that I could not access the new site. Looking forward to looking around the new site.

    Regards
    Peter

    Just be patient - your DNS will refresh soon enough.

    It's looking great Gary - well done.

    Thank you in advance, Peter. I think we all understand the difference between pinging and poking .

    Oh, gosh, The Official Guide, eh? For what it's worth, one of the Executive Editors told me it was a "valiant effort". Translated, that meant he truly saw and understood the valuable effort I made for the Xara community, but the "numbers" weren't there, close as they were, for the publisher to agree to make the book into a series.

    Who knows? We get the Xone firing on all cylinders, attract more users, make those users into potential readers, and I might be able to go back to the publisher with a proposal for an eBook, sparing trees, warehouse overages, and returns and all that.

    Truth is Peter, my brain was full several years ago, and I don't retain everything I've ever written. I'll use new Xone content over the months and years to try to keep as much Data Xarian in the cerebellum as space will allow.

    I don't want to make the thread loger and longer but I can access the new site on one Laptop and not the other.
    On the other I have tried to clear any browsing history etc...
    Strange?!
