SysOpt - Issues

[Steve R Jones]

I reported the "connection" issue to the guys upstairs. Luckily I still haven't had any problems.

Broni has been contacted. Waiting to hear back from him.

Haven't heard from Martha. Don't think she's posted anything in a week.

[Steve R Jones]

What URL are you guys with issues using? I use either of these - mainly the second one.

http://www.sysopt.com/index.php
http://www.sysopt.com/forum.php

[Steve R Jones]

Broni said-> This is strange. It opens in Chrome and Opera but not in Firefox.
I have to investigate.

[Broni]

All of sudden, without any fiddling it opened in Firefox...hmmm

[Broni]

My wild guess...Firefox frowns upon sites not being httpS
Maybe that's the issue.

[Steve R Jones]

Good Catch.

I used two URL's.. http://www.sysopt.com and the off topic forum address http://www.sysopt.com/forumdisplay.php?21-Off-Topic


Both were down for about 15 minutes this am at 10:30 EDT.


I use Chrome based Vivaldi browser and also tested with Chrome and Waterfox classic when I wasn't getting in. None worked.

[Steve R Jones]

HQ guys are asking-> Can you ask him to try incognito in FireFox?

[MarkFink]

Don't have Firefox but I always surf Waterfox Classic in incognito mode and it did not connect that way.

I also tried with a VPN w/ a US address because why not and that made no difference.

This is the URL I was using: http://www.sysopt.com/

I tried with Waterfox Classic 2020.06, Firefox ESR 68.9.0, and Google Chrome 83.0.4103.116. It's intermittent, but I get the 2 broken page icons.
I use uBlock Origin, but it would get the broken icons with or without uBO enabled.

I'll try using the http://www.sysopt.com/forum.php link instead.

[Midknyte]

Ok, it happened again just now. Using the forum.php link, I got the "Not found" error instead of broken page icons.

Not Found
The requested URL /forum.php was not found on this server.

I disabled uBO on Waterfox Classic, and then refreshed. Then Sysopt came back up.
I ran Google Chrome with uBO enabled, and Sysopt was up.
Then I ran Firefox, and Sysopt was down. I left uBO enabled and just kept refreshing. Sysopt came up on about the 5th refresh.

Do the ads change? Maybe certain ones cause the error? It's really hard to pin this one down.

[Broni]

Same "not found" error on and off.
I wasn't able to get in a whole evening last night European time.
Right now I was able to get in.

Someone please grab a screenshot of the "broken page icon."
