Migrating to FTH4

Your club admin received the instructions to update their admin password to access FTH4. (FTH3 admin passwords will NOT work in FTH4). Follow the instructions in the email and use 'Member sign in' in the top right corner to access the Club Admin account.

If you are not sure who the club admin is, in your member account; look at 'Club Officers and Members' > "Club Email addresses". The LAST item in this list is the person who is currently listed as your club admin.

If this is not correct, please complete and submit this form to change your club admin:

Domain name redirecting to "Request a Website"

8 years 2 months ago

Dear FreeToastHost

We’ve been having problems with our domain name since Wednesday 15 August. Two links work as before: cambridge-speakers.org.uk , and 8105.toastmastersclubs.org . However, www.cambridge-speakers.org.uk has started redirecting to “FreeToastHost – Request a Website”.

The DNS entries appear to be configured as instructed at support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/dns-settings-overview , and I've checked them at www.digwebinterface.com . However, I can’t see any obvious problems. In the FreeToastHost admin console, the custom domain name is set to cambridge-speakers.org.uk. I’ve also cleared my browser cache.

Can’t think what I’m missing. Can you help?

8105.toastmastersclubs.org/ is working correctly.

www.cambridge-speakers.org.uk/ is now working correctly.
Thank you,

What is very likely happening here is that your browser is caching our redirect to the welcome page. You probably got redirected there prior to your custom domain being completely set up, and your browser is just continuing to redirect to the welcome page.

You may not believe this happens, but it actually does... see the following, for example:
www.google.com/search?q=browser+caching+...ceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

SOLUTION: Just clear your browser cache.

Dear Brian

Thank you very much for your reply. It's all working now. However, I can see that the custom domain name in the FreeToastHost admin console has been changed from cambridge-speakers.org.uk to www.cambridge-speakers.org.uk . Can you confirm that's the correct setting, and that the domain name cambridge-speakers.org.uk will continue to work as well?

Kind regards

Chris
