Yey. it is back

ah I can fix that

edit : WWW should work equally well as soon as DNS propagates

The behaviour I described was only in the browser (I wasn’t even aware of a “discourse app”).
Now, it’s back on tracks.

You’re certainly right about the DNS issue. However, I wasn’t clear: the behaviour I described was with the exact same URL.
In other words, I would have visited a topic (from my history), clicked on the icon to go to the summary (main page), then copied the URL, pasted it in another tab, and I was presented with the gninx page. That’s what I can’t explain.

No problem
I added a CNAME record for the www subdomain and everything should work with either now
