Working fine here. Try switching to another browser to see if you're getting the same error. Could also be a glitch with your ISP.

I just tried this with thhe version of Safari that's in Mojave. I got an error which said something like "load cannot follow more tha 20 redirects". I tried again a few seconds later and the page loaded normally.

I received that a few days ago, but it loaded fine from my bookmark, so I didn't think twice about it.

The home page loads fine again this morning - I have made no changes to browsers or anything else, but when I try to go to this thread directly from the link in the notification email, I now get the Error 404 -Page can't be found, again.

That worked fine yesterday.

I’ve posted elsewhere that Error 404 occurs with every email link to a thread. Been that way for about 4 hours prior to this post noted as 4.05pm. GMT.

IWT. Are you saying you're getting the error from the new thread post email link?

Thanks,

Jake. When you get an email notification from this post...can you please let me know if the link works now...or if you're still getting the error?

Thanks,

Nick, you might have fixed it.

I just got an email about this thread and the link worked. They were not working earlier. I discovered that a few minutes ago when I tried to follow a link.

I'm commenting here since I don't know if it is related - the only way I can actually read any post, is if I'm logged in. If I'm not logged in, I see the menu and sub-menus, but when I click on any post, I get a message that I'm not logged in or don't have permission to access the page. This isn't to post, simply to read. Is this a new forum feature, that only logged-in members can read posts?

Also, trying to access the iOS app: it shows the menu and sub-menus of posts, but clicking on any specific post results in, "There is a problem with the forum. Please contact the forum admin or try again later."

Thank you!
