Hi,

Our forum seems to get stuck trying to load a post when you click on it, or try and open up a category.

Just want to know what’s going wrong? Here is a link to the forum - [https://gov.indexcoop.com/](https://gov.indexcoop.com/).

Here is the video showing the problem - [Loom Message - 10 January 2022 | Loom](https://www.loom.com/share/9f60f2e2138f487c86c534adc885fccd)

This link doesn’t load for me, as there is no DNS entry for this domain.

thanks for the reply.

Sorry I am a complete noob, how do I go about fixing the no DNS entry?

Looks like you use Cloudflare for handling the DNS for [indexcoop.com](http://indexcoop.com). You need to create an entry for the `gov` subdomain in the Cloudflare administrative panel pointing to the place where you are hosting that Discourse instance. Usually that is one entry of the type `A` with the IPv4 address of the server where Discourse is/will be running

How did you install Discourse? Did you do a [Standard Install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true)?
