Can't get here using FIrefox?

#1 Post by a1mamacat » Fri May 27, 2016 7:42 pm

but can using IE?

Firefox gives me a weird sleeping computer that says "Well this is awkward. Site not found"

IE got here no problem

How are people getting here?
1) Using an established bookmark/favorite?
2) Typing in "wwtbambored.com"?

I have been unable to use long-established favorites. I noticed that, when the failure occurs, the URL displayed at the top of the screen is "http://wwtbambored.comhttp//wwtbambored.com/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=da040ec1260e014176fe3faed5e60b7f"

It should have one or the other, but not both. When I delete either end, I am able to get in, as long as I delete the "http://", too.

3) I leave the tab for http://wwtbambored.com/viewforum.php?f=1 open on my Firefox browser, and just hit the refresh button to see the latest posts. I haven't seen any problem, here.

My bookmark has that long string in it as well (though a different combination of numbers and letters), and I'd imagine its the same on my laptop (Where I was Friday evening when I got the awkward screen Saucy referred to). It worked fine last night on the laptop... the problem seemed limited to that one evening.
