I dunno about everybody else, but I haven't been having any problems with connection with the forum on my favorite device.

I hope y'all are having similar fortune. Thanks to Management if thanks are in order. Sympathy to Management for the colossal head-ache this must be. jd
 
I opened the site, went on the bulletin and one post with no problems. When I tried to look at a second post it started hanging up again.
 
Folks,
We have pretty much confirmed that the issues are NOT related to anything we control.

All the traces we have run, and those sent to us, are showing that the signal from users is "dying" at some point between their home computer and our firewall.

An internet request typically shuttles 5-12 times before it reaches the intended location. Here we are seeing a lot of Forum requests are dying at GTT.net which fails to pass on the request to our Firewall server.

We have asked our Firewall company to address the issue with GTT.net. But we just don't have that much "pull" with companies that big.

What is going on is sort of like a driver hitting a dead end on the road system well before he gets to his destination.

There was a major outage affecting T-Mobile's network a couple of days ago (probable DDoS attack, possibly from China according to reports.) Affected other carriers due to the auto network switchovers that occur, and increased network access requests. Might have been what you guys were seeing.
 
After reading the above two posts , I tried viewing the site on my computer and everything is fine. The problem I was having was on the cell phone, once I connected to my home wifi everything is running fine.
 
I take full credit for fixing it. I subscribed to a VPN service and we haven't had a problem since.

Spectrum confirmed in my area (sw Ohio) there is a major internet issue, but they wont say what? I can connect but it wont go anywhere. The other day I tried to post in the for sale area and it took me about 8 attempts over and hour then it finally went?
 
I ended up running 3 different security scans, Windows off line scan, Windows defender(full scan) and spy bot, ran them 2 times each. I am not sure what they detected if anything at all but I have not had the problem in just over a week.
Probably just jinxed myself.
