Hey All,
You may have noticed your browser is now saying ducatimonsterforum.org (http://ducatimonsterforum.org) instead of ducatimonsterworldwide.org (http://ducatimonsterworldwide.org). I've made the changes so this is now active. This isn't a server change or anything major, just a change to the domain name. All of your old links/bookmarks/etc will continue to work, but as soon as you click on a link on that first page, you'll be using the new name. You may find that the first time you visit using the new domain name that you'll be logged out. This is because the "cookie" that saves this setting for you is tied to the domain name. Just log in again, and you should be good to go from there. Going forward, if you're promoting the site or passing out links to friends, please use the new address! As always, if you have any problems please post up in Board Tech Issues (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?board=17.0)
Thanks!

Technical nitty gritty, if you're interested:
DMWW and DMF are both resolving via DNS to the very same server. The forum software has a setting within it, and seperate from DNS and Hosting settings, that allows us to specify the domain name. This is used to generate all the links within the forum (to boards, posts, profiles, etc) so that's how you'll successfully load the first page without being redirected until you click a link. We're not doing any HTTP Response based redirects in the interest of maintaining the most compatibility. We'll likely keep DMWW actively pointing here, but no promises ;)
We all owe the webgeeks a big thanks for this one. [beer]
ducatimonsterforum.org
(you may note that there are some other addresses that lead to the same location. That's just in case some of you mistype in a drunken stupor or while away from home computers and saved favorites).
