Is PN campatible with all browsers?

I recently came back to photo.net and cannot access the site when using Safari or FireFox on my MacBook Pro. Using Chrome on my work PC works fine.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds like a configuration problem on your Mac. I have a MacBook Pro and can access PN on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

Interesting. Just checked via my iPad. I can access the forums, no problem. Then I logged in and am not able to access the forums. Perhaps I've been banned and don't know it?

In what way, and with what forums, are you having problems?

Aside from occasional software bugs that are still popping up(albeit nowhere nearly as badly as this time last year) I have no trouble with Firefox.

 

I'm currently on MacOS 10.13.6 and Firefox 61.0.1.

 

The last time I accessed here through Safari, it worked fine also. In addition, I regularly access the forum from my PowerMac G5 on which I'm running TenFourFox 52(feature parity with Firefox 52 ESR) and the current version of Leopard Webkit(source parity with Safari).

Well, I can access the forums from my work PC via Chrome. Last night on my MacBook running the lastest version of the OS I cleared my history and deleted all cookies from Safari. Then I navigated to photo.net and was able to see all the forums. Great, I thought. I then logged in and clicked the Forums link next to my profile pic. Got the error message.

 

I don't have any issues accessing other sites. I'm on several other photo and motorcycle related forums and never had an issue. So, I assume there is some oddball incompatibility with photo.net, my account and my MacOS.

 

Oh well.

what error msg? can u post a screen shot?

wow, that is some helpful error msg.

 

douglas, have you tried going straight to a particular forum rather than the forum front page. can you try

if u still get an error, i can’t think what could be the problem at the moment.

Douglas, it’s a quirk of PN2.0. You seem not be logged in, which I can tell because your name and avatar are not appearing in the upper right hand corner of the page. I have the same experience. When not logged in, I can view forums on my iPhone and iPad but NOT on my MacBook. When logged in, of course, I can view forums on all three. Believe it or not, even that is inconsistent. Sometimes, but rarely, I get to the forums on my laptop.

Checking error logs to see what the issue is from there.

You seem not be logged in

 

well spotted.

Re being logged in. Even though I logged in, it doesn't always seem to work. Its 50/50. Regardles, even when I am logged in, I cannot access the forum page.

 

I will try going directly to a forum on my ipad to see if that works. (Don't have my MacBook with me at work.)

 

Update:

Going directly to a forum didn't make a difference.

I changed my email address back to the original one and I am able to login and see the forums as I should.

 

I received an email from photo.net asking if I had recently changed my email address as that has apparently caused some problems. So, I changed it back and all is well.

 

Thanks for the help.
