Need People to Check a Website for Me

I think that we have it fixed. We knew this had to be DNS round robin (turns out it was round robin plus a cache so it was acting more strangely than expected) but for some reason just could not find it, we have so many DNS records I guess. Looked for it so many times, the one record was out of order and just didn't show up where we expected. Let me know, but it should be good.

Don't just gloss over it. Tell us how you have DNS setup. It doesn't seem like it should be that complex, but if it is, I'd love to know why and what the complexity is.

{*} points to the correct site, but cannot be cached so has to be overridden in this case
@ points to the correct site
www is a CNAME pointing to @

Problem was that with pages of DNS entries, even going over them carefully, there was a second @ A record hidden out of order somehow (we don't control the order) that we couldn't find. So it was round robining them (as we believed that it was, we just could not find the entry.)

@Dashrender It's a modern design. There's no "down arrow" but if you look you can see that there's more to the page based on the slider on the side.

Just last week I was receiving the orange website, this morning I'm getting the waterfall website.

New one is less than a week old.

Thank goodness we have a new web designer.

@scottalanmiller Well then that makes sense.

Some browsers don't show that slider anymore unless you mouse over that area.

The shear fact that you have to do anything more than just click on the contact/about us pages seems like more work than necessary.

But maybe I'm just channeling my inner JB this morning

Can't click on the email address to send an email. You'd have to copy it out to draft an email.

Here's a full CSS pulsating arrow I did for a site if you want it:

.scrollDown {
	position: absolute;
  	bottom: 5%;
  	left: 50%;
  	margin-left: -20px;
  	color: #FFF;
  	-webkit-animation: pulsate 1s ease-in-out;
  	-webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
  	-moz-animation: pulseate 1s ease-in-out;
  	-moz-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
  	-o-animation: pulsate 1s ease-in-out;
  	-o-animation-iteration-count: infinite;
  	animation: pulsate 1s ease-in-out;
  	animation-iteration-count: infinite;
  	opacity: 0.0;
	width: 0;
	height: 0;
	border-left: 20px solid transparent;
	border-right: 20px solid transparent;
	border-top: 20px solid white;
}

@-webkit-keyframes pulsate {
	0% {-webkit-transform: scale(1, 1); opacity: 1.0;}
    100% {-webkit-transform: scale(1, 1); opacity: 0.0;}
}
@-moz-keyframes pulsate {
	0% {-webkit-transform: scale(1, 1); opacity: 1.0;}
    100% {-webkit-transform: scale(1, 1); opacity: 0.0;}
}
@-o-keyframes pulsate {
	0% {-webkit-transform: scale(1, 1); opacity: 1.0;}
    100% {-webkit-transform: scale(1, 1); opacity: 0.0;}
}
@keyframes pulsate {
	0% {-webkit-transform: scale(1, 1); opacity: 1.0;}
    100% {-webkit-transform: scale(1, 1); opacity: 0.0;}
}

I suppose having an arrow is better than nothing, but wasn't what I was going for.

I think you're both channeling your inner fuddy duddy. Get with it, get hip

yeah, no! Really, please explain to me the logic that when I click a link all I see is a picture of something something that is completely useless to me! even if there is an arrow, now I have to click/scroll again to get to the data I should just be seeing because I clicked on a button that said - Contact us.

I'm really trying to understand the logic here.

Ha I don't think we need them. But I had to make some tasteful way for people like Dash to figure out there's more to a page than what you can see

For what it's worth, here's what it would look like (I can't upload webm's so I have to use youtube):

Now I will say, I don't usually put a hero on anything other than the front page. If I would have a large image on another page, I would usually have CSS overlay a pattern over the image with the text on top. Sort of like this:
