DNS

Sorry guys but giving the direct IP for access to the site is not working.

You can only reach the home page that way. All the links in it point to http://pentaxforums.com/something, so nothing works unless you copy/rewrite all the links by hand.

I'm accessing the site via an US proxy right now, works fine.

Unfortunately, you will have to type all addresses manually (or use a proxy, as you've done) if you DNS has not yet propagated in your area. The domain should be up worldwide by this evening.

Or just put it in your hosts file. Then you won't have to type it everytime, you can just use the normal address.

I got the DNS update quickly at home, but at work it never seemed to update.... So, until Travis reminded me about the little used HOSTS file - I had a problem. But after adding an entry to my hosts file, not only did it fix it - but it works faster now since it doesn't have to query the DNS!

Thanks Travis for the reminder!
