Troubles?

Anybody else having trouble accessing thew website, and threads, lately?

The last four or five days, i seem to get the following message about fifty times, and have to keep reloading alphaflight.net again and again to get it to work.

I haven't, but I use Firefox and not Chrome.
Could that be related?

(I have to go to my parents' place to try to reproduce the error on Chrome.)

Related? Yes, most likely you and your parents are related. Although, don't quote me on that one.

I do know my pc did one of those big Microsoft updates a few days back, one of those ones you can't avoid. Since then, had trouble with this site. But only this one.

I use safari and have had no issues.

I'm on Chrome and haven't had any issues.

I've often been asked what I'm on.

lol.

As far as the main issue goes...seems to currently be running fine. Odd...

Oh well, gift horses and mouths and all that!

I've had no issues. That message you're getting is related to your internet connection. If it were a recent change, likely your modem doesn't like a firmware update it received recently. Get a new modem.

Hmm... Or maybe your troubles have different sources. Look under your computer desk; is there a pile of furry, purring animals there? That look a lot like pom-poms?

Alrighty then!

So, the issue starting happening again. It annoyed the heck out of me, so i did some internet searching on it.

Apparently, it is a Google issue. One that is affecting millions of their customers, and they have known about it for months.

And, they don't care. There are no fixes for it.

Apparently, they have a long and convoluted way around it, involving manually changing some DNS settings for your entire computer. As some knowledgeable people have pointed out, this may solve the issues, but it also allows Google to track more and more of your data through the changes they ask you to make.

It's just another scam. Another way for the corporations to control your every thought and action. It is all about data collection.

So, I am now a Firefox user. So long, Google, don't let the 'net hit you in the arse on your way out!

Google's motto is 'don't be evil'.

I had issues last night just logging in. I wasn't getting an error message, it just wasn't doing anything.
It quickly corrected itself, though.
Haven't had an issue since last night.
