Attention Tech Wizards - Need Help

Stanley Kuppchaser · 05-16-2019, 05:52 AM

Can anyone hazard a guess as to what I can try to fix my access to the OOTP forum pages? I can no longer attach files, access type face alignment, etc. Even the smilies are gone, replaced with plain text names for the icons. I've tried different browsers, copy and paste from my desktop, and searching my settings, but nothing seems to work. I've also tried two other computers, and a tablet. The tablet does have a few more icons, but none are accessible. My Windows updated recently, but no other website that I have gone to seems to behave differently than it did before, except for this forum, and the OOTP website. Thanks.

Usually it's a browser extension you've installed (no script causes this often). It can also be a browser setting (like java is disabled). You should inform others what browser you are using to get more help.

Absolutely going to be an extension or an Ad blocker.

I find that 9 times out of 10 when something doesn't work on a site the way I expect - in my case it's the ad blocker. They are a lot more "scorched earth" than people realize.

Firefox, but also tried with Chrome and Edge. Thanks.

There was a recent backend problem with a hosting company serving content to OOTP. It was taken care of about 36 hours ago or so. You may wish to try again and see if there are still issues.

Check this thread... your problem was the same as many other OOTP members.

http://cdnsite.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=303281

It was solved several days ago by the OOTP Development Team... it was a server problem on their end... not on your end.

You should be able to access it now.

The OOTP Forums are back to normal.
