"If my theory regarding the Wetpaint servers having an excessive amount of cache is correct, that could account for the slow synchronization of domain names.

So, it's safe to assume that the 24 - 48 hour time estimation is more along the lines of 48 to 72 hours, possibly even more, depending on how slow the cache is at the time the domain is synced.

Additionally, cache is known for simply piling up until the service as a whole is nearly unresponsive, unless something is done to 'clean' the cache before it has the time to affect the services as a whole. From what I can tell, Wetpaint has some form of delayed caching system in place, but the delay needs to be set to every two minutes, instead of every couple of days, which is my current estimate, assuming such a system is even functioning at all.

That being said, domain synchronization could also be faster than the estimation Wetpaint has provided, which, although unlikely, is entirely possible, especially if the user tries to sync his domain with Wetpaint at the time the cache is being cleared. Still, all users should expect a far longer than expected domain synchronization time.

Uzicom, although you may wish to contact Wetpaint in the near future, I'd still suggest for you to wait at least another 24 hours before doing so. "

"Still no result. Into 5th day & email sent to the address suggested. Hope it works otherwise it seems we are without any Wetpaint support. Please Wetpaint show us you still back us up."

As stated the redirect from Godaddy works fine. Please check step 2 of the Customize Web Address in your site settings, reflects the proper address

When you make the changes in the Setting for a custom domain name it is saved for your wiki immediately and the message "Change In Progress" will appear immediately also. The time frame of 12-48 hours stated by Wetpaint reflects the time it may take the DNS provider to to accomplish their redirection. Since the DNS provider has completed, the only thing that can be wrong is a typo in the custom domain name in the settings portion of you wiki.

I will join your wiki. Can you make me an admin so I can view the settings portion of your wiki?

"Hi Uzicom, I checked and there are no typos and the address supplied in the window in the setting area was copied and pasted into my address bar and took me directly to your wiki.
The only information I can supply to you at this point, is I will try to contact Wetpaint somehow and direct them to this thread. We moderators have not been successful recently in contacting Wetpaint. So bear with us.
I will do my best to see that this is resolved for you. I have cancelled my membership on your wiki.
