What’s going on with the website?

Based in the US. Trying to access the site from multiple different PCs and servers and different browsers including from work and the site comes back with no response. Same if I access via 4G.

Are you using Internet explorer?

I swapped to using Chrome at home ages ago because I’d found IE just no longer worked with various sites including this one.

It took a while longer at work until we suddenly found some suppliers sites stopped working effectively with IE and our IT guru had to apply to group for us to use Chrome.

I’ve also tried Firefox at home and that also appears to work fine with sites that IE doesn’t like any more.

It's a bit Censored really that IE can't keep up.

The site hasn't changed code-wise to break IE support, the thing that may have done it is the SSL certificate now the whole site is HTTPS.

The only other thing it could be is if you've tripped up the site security/protection more than 3 times - you then get blocked (anti-hacker), but this is IP based so shouldn't be across all your connections Confused

How are you accessing the site to get through?

Any issues with the site let me know!

depending where on Microsoft's many sites you read it, IE11 went "end of life" at the same time as Windows 7 ... 14/01/2020. It may not stop working everywhere, but there are no guarantees.

MS Edge is the new browser BUT that's being re-written in Chromium, same as Chrome is ... which is chiefly open-source stuff, which means it will get the best and worst of whatever the Internet community can come up with.

I don’t know the technical reason why, but both at home and at work if I try to use IE to browse this site it’s slow, some images aren’t displayed, and some pages just hang.
If I switch to Chrome or Firefox full functionality is restored.

I have exactly the same issue, and cure, with some other forums, including the UK Ducati Forum and Ribnet, and also some ecommerce sites like Farnell, RS, Digikey, Hermes and the post office. EBAY is completely unusable in IE at home but works semi-OK at work via IE.

I currently have a terrible sub 4MB connection at home(due to change on Friday this week), but we are full fibre at work.
I’ve not updated IE in a year or so at home, but we have the very latest version at work.

I’d be interested in a reason why, our IT guru at work just tells us IE is Censored .

agree....

not want to start a discussion, but i can not resist to say something regarding MS & Google Wink

but if some privacy (like tracking and manipulation about what you get to see if you want to buy or lookup something is important to you) , i suggest stop using MS Edge and Chrome...they are as reliable as facebook etc..

firefox is also opensource but good developed as one of the first browser paltforms (Netscape was also Mozilla = firefox) at least you have more options in your own hand to stop tracking and cookie handling and privacy..

back to the topic, is a certain DNS between you and a certain website is F Censored ed up or in maintainance mode or something, you can have this problem temporary sometimes

but yes Trump and his workforce spring to mind also Rolling with laughter
