The site is being blocked through DNS providers. Firefox and Cloudflare encrypted DNS are the biggest culprits. Been happening for at least a year.

I exclusively use Firefox, and have never had browser-related site issues.
Ever.
Thus, you're peddling a load, and it's a stinky one.

Wow, congrats for you.

Do you have encrypted DNS turned on? Also, whats your modem, router, and device DNS settings?

Perhaps you just don't know what you're talking about.

Blessed be thy ATS Admin !!

I logged out and logged back in, made sure https:// was in front of the URL

And made a Bloody Mary.

Not sure if the booze made a difference but I don't really care.

I'm back, I used a couple martinins on my end.

Encryption is stock, on all (Win10 Pro, it has EFS) And have always been stock settings. As DNS encryption becomes more commonplace (it's fairly recent in tech timelines) I'll ride along and tweak & add programs as needed, but for the time being, there's not much under the hood I need to worry about unless I come across reasons to be. I've still never had issues on ATS in 10 years across two different desktop upgrades, and two different laptop upgrades. And my loathed cell. Cumbersome way to browse the net, sucks donkey dongs.

At the end of the day, it's you, not me. I have no problems and never have, aside from the occasional-odd site-wide break at some point shared by us all on here. Hate to go there, but when people keep telling you the opposite of what you want to hear, especially long-timers, the problem is probably more user-end than you want to admit to.

My apologies, I am in the process of moving ATS to a secure site you may experience problems temporarily. I just tested the reply and edit functions and they worked for me. Anyone else having issues?

Only issue I've noticed is that on android, no inline pictures appear. Not sure if it's my device, but different browsers just show a broken image icon. No blocking or other addon's, vanilla chrome/firefox.

PC browser works fine.

I'm still getting that from my LG Wing that runs on Android.

Like I said, you don't know what youre talking about.

Disk encryption is NOT encrypted DNS. Also, disk encryption is not enabled by default on Windows.

I get the secure icon on main page and my ATS page,but click on any link and its back to Insecure.

No #, Sherlock, I used Encryption, and DNS encryption separately to denote that. I said my Encryption, I.E DISK, not DNS, is stock settings, as in the defaults. I've tinkered with nothing beyond turning the program on & selectively encrypting my files. Is that clear enough yet? Encryption = DISK, not DNS. DNS encryption (note the method of capitalization here) = DNS encryption,AKA self-explanatory.

My DNS packets, as you assumed for incorrect reasons, are not encrypted. The time'll come when it's a given and the software will be a must, but it ain't today for me.

Therefore, under your assumption of "DNS servers intercepting" and trolling forums? No encryption should make that easy to pull on folks like me, and folks like you who supposedly run DNS encryption, should be bullet-proof.
So why would you be the one having the issues? Wouldn't that just show your stuff is worthless software instead?

Are we clear enough yet? How much more needs expounded??

I use Firefox and the various diffrent forum icons aren't showing up. Other than that, all seems fine.

I didn't "assume" "DNS servers [are] intercepting" anything.

DNS servers literally determine what you see in a web browser. Every single location for every single asset on every single site gets routed through a DNS server.

When you browse with unencrypted DNS, you leave yourself open to "Man in the Middle" attacks, which is what you are referring to.

But your DNS provider determines what you can and cannot see when you make the request. And a web browser is, guess what? A Man in the Middle.

When an organization like Firefox comes out and directly says something like "We need more than deplatforming," or "Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation," you should be worried. blog.mozilla.org...

Your DNS traffic isn't being "intercepted." It's being censored.

a reply to: ats admin

I have been locked out for months!!

Just today I was finally able to get the site to send me a password reset. It would error out with an email error every time. I even tried from work, thinking maybe it was my PC.

I have no idea how my password got reset or lost or whatever before either. Just tried to log in one day as usual, and was logged out and my password I used a few hundred times on this site, just suddenly stopped working.

It's been extremely frustrating.

i haven't experienced any technical problems with the site recently. all running normally for me

I thought the mods had finally made good on the "post ban" threat but alas it was just my janky isp or maybe some other evil minded anacronym; They seem to have hatched from their cyber eggs lately and now are running free creating all manner of havoc. Perhaps it's just a manifestation of the "new normal"....

God help us!!

Our apologies, work is being done on the server that could be causing issues. I believe those issues have been resolved. Thank you for your patience.

a reply to: poncho1982

I have had problems uploading pics for years. It has always been hit or miss.

I thought the problem was over, because I recently was able to upload two pics without trouble.

Until today. Back to hit or miss.

It says the pic was completed, but it does not show up in the upload gallery, or any other gallery for that matter. Just not sure what is going on.

a reply to: NightSkyeB4Dawn

It's too big. The limit is 2MB I believe. Anything over that, it will upload but it won't show up in your gallery.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Thanks. I just don't know why they would be different sizes. Same camera, no adjustments.

Some will upload. Some won't. ????


Addendum:

At Zaphod58, you are right. Resized the pic and had no problem with it.

Now I have to figure out why my lousy, cheap, cell phone camera, takes pics of different sizes at will.

I am not a photographer, even though my job does put me into that position every now and then. At least they provide me a decent camera.
