Title: North Star Site Down?
Post by: Atheling on May 11, 2021, 04:33:47 PM
I cannot get onto the north Star site even by circuitous means.

Is anyone else having the same trouble? I suspect you might be.

I was in the middle of sorting out all my WWII Late War Germans from Smocks to "Winter" uniforms and the site went down  >:(

What OS are you running?  Always try a different browser.  Grab Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Internet Explorer, etc.

I've tried Chrome and Firefox and neither are getting through.

I'm not having any trouble with any other websites  o_o

This is getting weirder, yes I can. Unfortunately my phone is tiny as I don't have any social media on it so there wasn't any need  to buy a larger model.

Any idea what I do next to bet through on my laptop please, pretty please?  ??? ??? ???

If it's any help it's sometimes saying it's timing out but after a split second. Not always as I most often get this, "This site can’t be reachedwww.northstarfigures.com took too long to respond."

Can you use your telephone to hotspot your computer? Try that, alternatively restart your computer.

Yes to telephone but I haven't got a clue how to go about it.

I've restarted my laptop twice and same with the router.  >:(

Go to your phones settings, then connections, go from there   Google is your friend...Where your computer gives your internet  status click on that that will give you other  networks  available
