unable to access forum

#1 Post by TuuS » Fri Jan 31, 2025 11:33 am

I got a message from a member asking why the forum wasn't working. I also was unable to load the page. I'm currently using TOR browser as I can't get it to work on my Verizon network.

Seems to work fine when I'm using an IP address outside the USA.

I tried a couple different sites to see if it was down for everyone or just me and one said everyone and the other said only me.

Beginners mistake: http:// instead of https://
Lovely day for a Guinness! (The Real Black Stuff)
But I actually prefer Murphy's from Cork!

This doesn't appear to be the problem. I can access using the TOR network but cannot access using my Verizon mobile network with http or https

I wasn't able to access the site intermittently during the past few days. I can't see any pattern in it, and nothing has changed in my setup, which uses a university ethernet network. A mystery.

EDIT: I tried to delete this post, but couldn't find a way to do it - the same points get made in another thread titled "Forum blocked?"
