Forum Outage December 11, 2017, 06:43:19 pm I thought I would see some discussion here, but apparently no one had my problem yesterday? All day yesterday and continuing until I went to bed I could not access the forum on either my iPad or my PC. I kept getting “can’t connect to server” messages. I was able to freely connect with any other website at all times. Today, all is fine. Curious as to whether it was just my equipment somehow? — Jon
Re: Forum Outage Reply #1 – December 11, 2017, 07:08:29 pm No, not just you, Jon. My laptop (Windows) connected, but the iPad and iPhone would not; same message as you received. I solved the problem by wandering off to try to do something useful, figuring that the 'stars' would realign and the gremlins would eventually be vanquished; they did and they were. 1 Likes
Re: Forum Outage Reply #2 – December 11, 2017, 08:03:25 pm Sorry about the glitch I updated the site/server IPV6 support and in so doing certain ranges of IP address were not properly being identified. This resulted in the server firewall sending you to a blank page or giving an EMPTY_RESPONSE error. This occurred only if you connected with IPV6 and only within certain ranges.The problem was addressed this AM so it should no longer occur.Whats IPV4 or IPV6 3 Likes

Re: Forum Outage Reply #5 – December 11, 2017, 10:41:02 pm at first I thought it was my computer because later that day I was able to get in and read some posts, but then no more. I figured it was a server problem and saw no need to post about it then. Thanks for the explanation and the fix! 2 Likes
