OK guy's / gal's

Having this problem with Firefox running on windows at work going straight to forums.gentoo.org but direct to say https://forums.gentoo.org/index.php is OK.

Firefox at home (gentoo linux of course) is good but on c*&^y winbloz xp at work no good. Please fix it cause I can't get linux on the PC's here at work and I hate IE.

Regards
Tim

It doesn't happen consistently, but it's happening to me sometimes as well.

I think this might be a cookie related problem. If you could selectively delete them and find out witch cookie it is, it might be helpful to track this down. I've been waiting for this to happen again to try this, but it's taking a while.

I started deleting cookies to no effect. I ended up deleting all the cookies, and 12 hours later I am still unable to access f.g.o with firefox.

I am receiving the error this morning on both Opera and firefox.
Sometimes it will just hang for a few minutes and then go thru, other times the error.

Well, so much for that idea. Last time it happened I used "clear private data" and the problem went away. For a while anyway. :)

I get this error when accessing the listed post, which was sent to me for the First Linux Distro thread.

Also, there seems to be alot of lag, which isn't on my end (everything else loads from any other site just fine)
