We hope to be rolling out IPv6 support over the next month. We've updated the site and forum to support IPv6, and hopefully did not miss anything. We're also currently moving to DNS nameservers which aren't pieces of junk and also support IPv6. Because our old DNS host is a piece of junk, they're no longer responding with the old info anymore, and some users for the next couple of hours may have trouble connecting to the site. Once you hit our new nameservers, two new subdomains are available: http://ipv4.tasvideos.org - Will only respond with an A record. http://ipv6.tasvideos.org - Will only respond with an AAAA record. For our primary domain and all our subdomains, we currently only return an A record. Once we deem that all the issues have been worked out, all but the two aforementioned special subdomains will return both A and AAAA records.

I'm not able to connect to http://tasvideos.org while using google dns. http://ipv4.tasvideos.org works fine though.

I seem to be unable to connect at random. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Doesn't matter if I use tasvideos.org or ipv4.tasvideos.org.

Using my ISP dns, both http://tasvideos.org and http://ipv4.tasvideos.org works. http://ipv6.tasvideos.org doesn't, but that's not surprising (I don't have ipv6 connectivity)

IPv6 is now live. All domains now return AAAA records except for ipv4.tasvideos.org as above.

Good news. If you now attend via http://ipv4.tasvideos.org or http://ipv6.tasvideos.org, you will have a much more pleasant experience.
  • Forum login fixed.
  • Edit wiki page preview fixed.
  • All wiki links now properly generate links according to the prefix you chose.
There's still work to do to make the forum friendlier in this regard, but the site is now usable, and it should be much harder to encounter a rogue link.

The link on the logo at the top of the forums still points to http://tasvideos.org/ . As well as the links to tasvideos.org, site faq, and forum rules at the top. The site faq link at http://ipv4.tasvideos.org/forum/faq.php also does it.

I'm getting "taking too long" from Firefox on the IPV6 subdomain.

If you don't have IPv6 support on your internet connection, then you won't be able to connect to that subdomain.

Is there any way I can check if my connection supports IPv6? I know I have support for it installed, which I double-checked after not being able to connect.

Apparently it's a Time Warner issue.

Right, i just thought i'd mentioned where some others were that i knew of. Sorry if you already knew about those, and just hadn't gotten around to fixing them yet.
