Yes. On my tablet, this site won't load up (yet any other website loads just fine). It does that every couple months. AFter 4-5 days, it returns to normal. Yet, this site loads up just fine on my I-phone with no problems.

Darn, here's what should have been the correct quote.
Also, My problems loading this website on my tablet started Sunday night.

If I am on my WiFi at home, I can't get on the site sometimes. I never have problems on my 4g connection though.

I had problems getting on with my home pc. Apparently the forum server blocked my ip address. If that happens, get on another pc or use phone to get hold of Simon or one of the moderators and they will get it unblocked.

I tried another laptop and even had my son try on his desktop and he couldn't get on either. The site would not load.

You cannot use any laptop or desktop in your house using the same internet. The internet in your house has same ip address no matter what instrument you use. Try using your phone without it being connected to wifi in your house. Or use a friends pc using their internet. Find out what your ip address is and have one of the moderators check to see if the forum server has blocked your ip address.

This is good info, except I'm a moderator and I have no idea how to help. It's a good thing I'm not paid for this. Lol. Damkid is a supermod, which is somewhere in between a moderator and an administrator. He may have clearance to do this. I'll try contacting Simon or Brian about this. It seems like a common issue. I'd like to help if I can.

This morning it returned back to normal for me. It's back to loading up fine on my tablet (but was down Sunday night thru-Wednesday). My IPhone on a different network never had problems. This outage has happened to me maybe 4-5 times in the last year. And usually for a few days.

Simon is the one that helped unblock my ip address just this past Tuesday so he would be one to help someone. Glad you got it back wwwdotgov. You all have a great week and weekend.

That's what I've noticed with my Internet at home as well.

Thanks again for the advice!
