NPR

I've not been able to load up NPR much in the last few days, let alone try to login. Are there technical gremlins?

No. You just need more hoof.

all working fine for me

"have tried turning it off and back on again" - or in web parlance clear your cache and cookies

It's you.

I've noticed no issues on work pc, home pc or mobile.

None, i think this might be a local environment issue, i use multiple devices and different ISP's/Hotspots, works like a charm (although i would say that )

Had an error yesterday pm a few times trying to post saying " site cannot be reached". The when I checked it had actually posted 4 times...

Nada problem wise for me either on different devices and internet connections.

That might have been Asmo tweaking the redirect settings.

I was getting it when I was clicking my notifications

Harsh but fair.

I still get 403ed sometimes - it only happens when I post with a quote and an emoticon. No biggie, I just change from Brave browser to Chrome which always seems to sort it out.

Thinly veiled Springbok call out Fred.

Haven't been able to get in for several weeks, thought it had died a death tbh. It's a bit like going back to where you've worked, it's rather annoying that life has carried on perfectly well without me.

You have also been banned for several weeks.

God knows.

I haven't been able to login again using three different browsers. Using a VPN to post this. My broadband is TalkTalk using the BT network.

Likewise can’t access the site on my home wifi, fine everywhere else.

Are you on the HTTPS site when you're on Brave?

I use Brave and it's HTTPS?

I have no idea, i have tested on multiple devices, multiple browsers and not had a single issue on any of them. This feels like a local environmental issue, either something with the isp filtering, firewall settings, browser settings or even browser add-ons.

No issues at all on various devices (Win & iOS).

It's an issue with Brave. I get connection issues here on my IPhone.

I've switched back to Safari for NPR because ZappBannigan very kindly doesn't do ads/popups, so I don't need any blocker software to post here.

I use Brave as my default browser but NPR doesn't work on Firefox or Chrome either unless I switch on my VPN and then it works on any browser.
