For many days dnf.com has led to error messages on all my browsers but dnforum.com is fine.


Anyone else notice this ? There may be a problem with the domain or its server set-up may need to be redone.
I am in the us and I am not doing anything different.

I can never remember if it's dnFORUM.com or DNforum.com or dnforum.com. I don't know why Adam owns dnforum.com and not dnFORUM.com or DNforum.com. Darn misspells. Sometimes I type in dnforum.comtm like the logo.
that dumb. It's just a joke so relax. :p

i had my faves-bookmarks all pointing to dnf.com but since that no longer works i've re-set them to dnforum.com.
i agree it's not that bad but the [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] forum for domainers in the world must always have the dnf.com domain working properly especially for newbies.


i wonder if adam dicker is aware of this and that it gives all browsers a bad impression:(

Adam is aware of the issue. I contacted him several days ago.

Hopefully it's resolved soon. Who knew we'd be inconvenienced by typing a 7 letter domain? :)

Yeah, the extra 4 letters are a pain in the ass to type out. I hope it's resolved soon. This should be priority [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG]. :confused:

It's amazing how using the internet on a mobile device has changed the way I view the length of domain names. Shorter is most definitely better.

With autocomplete and browser history synced across devices, the name length isn't quite as much of an issue... more a branding and defensive registration issue.

:) (I use dnforum.com and it usually autocompletes in Chrome to the forums I most visit)

and i know auto complete and browser history make domain names less important but i first thought it was a mobile browser issue, then i realized others were aware of it and it's with all browsers. i am surprised so many days later it's still not resolving. adam for one can't be liking this!
