    When I launch my boards app on my phone, it brings me to the OpenDNS guide, same thing happens when i try to open boards.ie using chrome on my phone (HTC One).
    Anyone else having this problem. Posted on boards facebook but they have not had any other reports of issues.....

    Try resetting your router from OpenDns back to your providers Dns.

    Its only happening on phone, laptop is working fine. Only started happening today, never had problem before. Are you accessing boards using your smartphone or android app?

    Android app? There is no official Boards.ie Android app.

    Correct. Boards.ie have recommended to stop using this unofficial app and use touch.boards.ie instead.

    If you see 2-3 repeated posts from the same user its from that unofficial app.

    Wasn't working for me either, on 3 prepay on my Android phone, or via WiFi, on my tablet.

    Seems to be back now though

    Not related to provider - boards has screwed up their DNS config:

    This is an nslookup run that shows that www.boards.ie resolves on 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) but touch.boards.ie does not. The last query is for touch.boards.ie on OpenDNS.
    > server 8.8.8.8
Default Server:  google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address:  8.8.8.8

> touch.boards.ie
Server:  google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address:  8.8.8.8

Name:    touch.boards.ie

> www.boards.ie
Server:  google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address:  8.8.8.8
