Yep that's what happens when you go directly to a shared IP.
The IP has a number of websites hosted on it, and the server requires the hostname (pcforums.co.nz) to display the correct site.
Without it it just shows the first site in the configuration file, which just happens to be the one above.

1355775 2013-10-12 00:13:00 pcforums.co.nz will be working no whether your DNS is working correctly or not as I have setup a redirect from the old server.
Note that this will stop working on Monday, but hopefully everyone's DNS will be sorted by then!

Exactly, same as gary67, coz Telstraclear customers are still using the Telstra DNS and Transparent Proxy infrastructure.

Hopefully they ditch it as part of the merge and use Vodafone / Ihugs which is significantly better!

I've had issues with their DNS servers which is why I had to switch to OpenDNS...
