Apparently there is an issue with cached DNS's. I am not a computer scientist/engineer so don't ask me what that means. Here's some guidance from BoardNation admins on how to clear the cache on a variety of devices - hope this helps.

+++ For Windows PCs:
Step 1: Open the Command Prompt
Windows XP: Click on the Start Menu and click "Run". Type "cmd" and press Enter.
Windows Vista/7: Type "cmd" in the search bar and press Enter.
Windows 8: Press the "Win" key (windows logo key) and X on your keyboard.
Click on "Command Prompt".
Step 2: Flush DNS by typing "ipconfig /flushdns" and press Enter. Type "Exit" to close the command prompt window.
Step 3: Close and re-open your web browser.

+++ Mac OSX
Step 1: Open the Terminal
Navigate to Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
Step 2: Flush DNS
Type the following command and press Enter.
Mac OSX 10.7 & 10.8 (Lions): sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder Mac OSX 10.5 & 10.6 (Leopards): dscacheutil -flushcache Mac OSX 10.4 (Tiger): lookupd -flushcache
Step 3: Close and re-open your web browser.

+++ Linux
Different Linux distributions have different commands. Try the following commands in your terminal:
sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start
sudo service nscd restart
Then close and re-open your web browser.

+++ iOS/Android Devices
Step 1: Close the browser app
Close the app completely (also make sure it is not running in the background).
Step 2: Restart Wi-Fi
Turn off the Wifi on your device and turn it back on again.

+++ Smart TVs and Streaming Media Devices
Step 1: Restart the browser app
Close the app completely (also make sure it is not running in the background), the open it again.
Alternatively, restart the device (power off and power on again).

Hope this works. Apologies to PY for using their living room to administrate the A-Body Site forum, but when people can't log into ABS, how can we contact them??
