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:

Thanks, Pam.

I thought that I had already made that change before modifying the DNS records to point to the new url but it's also possible that the custom domain name didn't save. Now when I try to navigate to the goodmorningtoastmasters.org page I get the Request a Website page here at FreeToastHost. I have no idea how to check that the custom domain name entry on our admin console is correct - and I suspect that it's not - since I can't bring up the website.

I this a correction that someone in FTH tech support can do for me?

Thanks, Brian.

I did this and got to our admin console but could not save the change. When I tried to save the new domain name I got the error message shown in the screen capture attached.

I entered the new custom domain name with the .org extension. Is that the right way to do it, or is something else going on?

Thanks.

Anytime you see the datatransfer error click the reload link at the bottom of your site.

I have now clicked the reload link several times when attempting to change the entry in the custom domain name field and every single time the reload takes me to the FreeToastHost Request a Website page. When I do this I get the data transmission error message. I click on cancel on that popup, close out the admin console in order to click the reload link and then I see a message window from FTH saying that the alias or custom domain name has been changed. But when I reload the website the old custom domain name is still in the basic settings. Clearly I'm doing something wrong and I apologize for being a complete idiot but I'm really struggling here.
