Keep getting "This Site Can't Be Reached" Messages

[Anonymous]

I have to click twice or three times to get to the site. Been happening all day.

I keep getting crazy screen flashes. I thought it was related to gifs on a thread I was following, but I'm not sure.

I'm not aware of any connectivity issues. Do you have another device such as an iPad or smartphone that you can test using the same connection? I'd like to see if this is due to your connection and/or computer or something broader.

You appear to be using an ad blocker. I offer no guarantees about your quality of service.

Just want to add that I also experienced this. Click on a thread multiple times only to see this message. Click on another thread and everything was fine.

I get this frequently, usually on index pages in specific forums (fora?). I'm not on a mobile device and I don't think I have an ad blocker.

I've had trouble the past few days on my laptop but phone access is fine. Naughty flash ads?

I had trouble all day, too. I can see ads usually, although they take a long time to load (if I have adblocker, the iPad came from the factory with it! Sorry - not tech savvy at all).

You were the victim of a false positive in anti-troll mechanism I have here. I made a tweak that should prevent a recurrence.

Ouch! I was thinking maybe I had been aggressive too and gotten the ban hammer; then I got in via Google so didn't know. Thanks.

Tried again on my laptop and it hung while loading an ad. Back to the phone for me.
