Is anyone here still having issues where they get redirected to our old site? (As of 10/19)

Right. Some people had issues where some part of their syste remembered where the old site was, and so even when they typed answerMug into their browsers, they'd go there, not here. The only way they could get in was through beta, but that had problems of its own, like the feed and sometimes getting shipped off to the old site while they surfed here. You shouldn't be using beta. It was a last resort for people who could not get in otherwise. 

Thank you for sharing this!

Puffin brags a lot that it loads sites very quickly. I can only imagine this is because it has a very strong cache. I tried to find information related to clearing the Puffin cache, but I didn't see anything. So, I emailed them. I will let you know what they say. Most apps do remove your data, but maybe Puffin stores it somewhere else? Or, maybe they keep their own DNS (site address data), allowing them to speed up their browser. I don't know anyone else on Puffin, but hopefully we can get this squared away. I'll keep looking into it as well.

Thanks, JA.
I just reinstalled Puffin again - other flash browsers do the same thing and takes forever to load the site.
I logged in with beta.answermug.com and, although I can log in, it shows very little content, only ads. 
I think you're right about it storing data elsewhere. Not having a PC I'm kinda limited with what I can manipulate, you know?
Thanks for your help, and your response!

There's a recurring problem, regardless of browser, which is getting chucked off the site at regular intervals. 
I can't always blame Sapphicheart's profile page for the overload )
Is there a way to minimise that?

Grrrrrrrrr. I changed it for you, removed all the glitter and... You need to upgrade your Sapphic Alert before entering my page! *bleh* This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at October 20, 2016 11:01 PM MDT

Why did you edit your answer. What did you remove. 
Sapphic Alert? Have I missed something?

By mistake 'before' was spelled with a capital 'B'. ;-)

Edit: this time 'by' was missing that capital 'B'... Hmm. Seems to become today's issue. Capital 'B'... This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at October 20, 2016 1:26 AM MDT

Hey Lucia ... A simple test can tell you what the problem is :)
If you use your device at home and you can't reach the site then try using your smart phone... Your phone will use a different DNS server than your home network ... If this works then you have to change DNS servers in your modem ... The DNS server is a web site the modern uses ... Think of it as a directory ... You ask for answer mug and it looks up the address and send you there ... Changing this setting in your modem might sound scary but it's pretty simple and you will find easy to follow instructions on the web ... Don't hesitate to write if you need help, ok?

I have a portentious feeling you might be hearing from me indeed. Thank you, Oz.

Correct. ..

Puffin's response: 

If you want to clear cache in Puffin, please go to settings->clear browsing data->cached images and files.

That's all they said. As far as getting booted, yes... that's going to keep happening as long as you use Beta. I can't stop that. You really need to be coming in through the main site- answerMug.com. I only brought people in through beta who had cache issues that prevented them from coming in through the regular site. That's not a good way to be here, but it at least got you here. Every time you click on something that says answerMug.com, your system is remembering the old site. Most of the links here skip the site name, and so your browser knows to keep you where you are, but if it says answerMug (without the beta), your system is going to look up where it thinks answerMug is, and it's got it wrong.

Here's instructions on how to clear a DNS cache on an iPad: https://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-change-dns-on-iphone-ipad/

It could also be tied to your router or modem. If you're logging in at home and you've already cleared the iPad's cache and the browser's cache, you can try OzGirl's suggestion, but it involves some tech knowledge because you have to change some settings within those devices. Equally, you may find a simple solution by googling the name of your modem and router and looking for how to clear its DNS.

One of these cache fixes should work and allow you to type answerMug.com into your browser and come directly here, without the constant boots.

I don't use Puffin, but someone else informed me that it also compresses and stips code in order to make it run faster. Opera mini does the same thing. While these types of browser can speed loads, they have the tendency to totally jack up websites- you won't see the same things as everyone else, nor will you have full functionality. That's the way those browsers are designed, though. They're doing what they're made to do. Good for speed, bad for experience and interaction. 

Thank you, I'll give it a bash.

I don't know how you word your emails but Puffin is working perfectly now.
Excellent!

Woah. I don't know if I really had anything to do with it, but I'm glad it works now. :)

Please shoot me a message when you have time (or post here- we have some good helpers) and let me/us know what device you're using (phone or computer), what operating system you have (Apple/ iOS, Windows, Mac), and what fixes you've already tried.
