It is taking time for the redirects we put in to propagate through the world's DNS servers.
Your PC and laptop are picking up a route to ForumGarden through your ISP's name server but your tablet uses a different service. One has updated whilst the other is taking its time to do so.

The Internet exists by consent and cooperation. Many of the requests made by the interlinked machines are acted on. One which is notoriously ignored by many ISPs is the Domain Name Time To Live. During the last few days ForumGarden's has been set to five minutes but even Bryn and I have seen the request dishonored, and one of your ISPs is doing just he same. It's no skin off their nose and it reduces their data traffic cost. Few users complain even though they've been inconvenienced.

Thanks for the explanation.
