DNS Propagation Question

Is it possible that during DNS propagation an older version of your website will show up? My host just changed the server time, and my website hasn't been loading for a while. However it was just working for a second, but it showed my forum from a day ago. The posts were old and it said it was v3.6.8 (I just upgraded to 3.7 last night).

Should I be worried? Or does this happen sometimes during prorogation?

Sometimes this will happen, usually not though. If it still occurs after 72 hrs, there is cause for concern, you can also try to flush your dns in windows run the command
Code:
ipconfig /flushdns
and see if that helps

Ping the domainname from your PC and see which IP is returned.

I did that, but the site hasn't loaded for about 18 hours now.

If IP's have changed, then it can take anywhere fro,m 24-48 hours to update. If its not fully working in 48 hours, I would suggest contacting your webhost as it would be an issue on their end (Unless you have custom nameservers)

Go to host-tracker.com and try getting them to ping your site from around the world.

Name changes takes 48-72 hours to fully propagate.

What did that do? It received a list of 28 failed responses that said, "Http error:Http_client.Bad_message("Unknown reason (e.g. unexpected eof, timeout)")"

It's been over 48 hours now, and it still won't load. All they did was change the server's clock because it said the wrong time. When they moved the entire server from Canada to Dallas Texas it only took 24 hours, lol. But my host's support keeps assuring me nothing is wrong.

Ok so you should be worried now. What's your domain, name servers, and IP of the dedicated server.

If you need some help faster than the forums here you can IM me. PM me your aim or msn and i'll try to contact you.

If you don't mind who is your server provider.
