They seem to play e-mail tag with me. They respond with a personal message about 45-60 mins after I send out the original, so I'm hoping they respond soon.

DNS changes take 24-48 hours, you may need to wait.

No they don't, your ISP might take that long, but the DNS changes within seconds, and most ISP's update withim minutes...

You need to look in your account (Not cPanel, wherever your domain is administrated) for 'Nameservers' or 'DNS' and put in your nameservers.

But TBH it doesn't even look like your domain has been registered, http://whois.sc/rollercoasterpoint.com

IF even tells you that you should wait 24-48 hours, and domain purchases typically take that long, it's not about the update. I had to wait that long for mine, and my clients wait that long too. :huh:

At the time I didin't know he was trying to connect if to an IF board, and I've got no idea how th eIf DNS system works O_o. If eh was jsut setting the nameservers to his host the DNS resolves within seconds.

Well I didn't know they were going to do all that stuff for me. In the e-mail, it never said "If you have registered with us, disregard this message and just wait 24-48 hours"

I'm still waiting for them to have my subdomain point correctly to my forums.
