Can only access the forum via mobile browser
« on: February 26, 2018, 09:12:49 PM »
Hi,
I can only get into the forum on a mobile browser. When I use my PC, I cannot open the page via Chrome , IE/Edge or Opera. I get an error message saying "This site can't be reached"

Anyone else encountered this? Ideas on how to fix it?

Check the url you are using. For PC it should be:
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php

Dumped browser cache, the site isn't blocked  at all, but still cannot access it from my PC. Rats, guess I can't use this forum anymore, that sucks. Did they do something weird to the site coding or hosting??

Since the move, I've been using three different PCs, two of which with different OS and the third using a virtual machine remote environment, plus two different Android tablets and an Android smartphone. The forum works fine on all of those.

Do you get an error message or something that you could screenshot? Without any lead, it is a bit hard to figure out the issue.

Hi, it is an error message that says ERR_CONNECTION_RESET

Only getting that error message when trying to access this site from any PC browser

Hm, that's strange. Could you try accessing the forum via:

https://leadadventureforum.com

We implemented SSL encryption for the forum following the move, and while accessing the non-encrypted (http:) URL should prompt the browser to attempt an https encrypted connection, there might be an issue there.

Hi, tried that - no luck. Maybe there's some setting unique to my PC that I can't discover.  Bummer, means it will be harder to use the forum.

Does the new LAF still redirect from Wargames Illustrated?

If so the error could be your security suite, anti virus or firewall blocking access as it thinks there is a browser hijack going on. Try turning them off one at a time and connecting.

I get same error from one of my iPhones (using both safari and chrome). No issues from iPad or pic...
