Hi guys! I remeber you helped me so much last time and I cannot thank you enough!

This may not be anything that big but I cant access any proboard forums, none of them. At first I thought the site itself was down, but my friends are able to access them. I have tried every proboard link out there and none will work for ANY proboard site. Also I am able to access them at work. This first happened on saturday and then I was able to log on again yesterday. Now today it is doing it again? What do you think? thank you again.

EDIT: I'm sorry if I am bumping this or anything, but I wanted to mention that I have emptied my temp files and deleted cookies, and that did not work. I have scanned my comp with McAfee and Microsoft Anti spy, just in case.

Is a proboard site blocked on your browser? I would make sure everything in unblocked and then try again. If all else fails, restart your computer, get some ice cream, take a toe bath, and listen to Cafe Del Mar. There might be some bug on Proboards that does not allow you to acess them with your settings.

No, there are no proboard sites blocked on my browser. Its not so much the site, I'm just begining to feel frustrated. It seems like I have done everything and I can't find any clear answers. I am not a computer genius and I don't want to start messing anything up so I give up! Hmmm, I guess its time for some ice cream?

I'm sorry, proboards are free internet forums.

[james_8970]

thanx
James

[andrialyn]

mmm, I don't know if there are other places to look, but under internet options my security is at medium

[andrialyn]

btw, I do have windows fire wall running and also have mozilla fire fox browser installed along with IE and neither will bring up those pages

[james_8970]

is it IE that your using?
thanx
James

[james_8970]

k sry missed that last post because i didn't hit refresh. by any chance do you have more then one firewall running?
thanx
James

[andrialyn]

To be honest I am not to sure. I have Mcafee but I am not using the firewall... I have to look at all the stuff I have that I use for "protection" But to my knowledge that is the only firewall I am using

[andrialyn]

I am looking at some of the stuff I have and spyware blaster has alot of "protection enabled" for IE, mozilla, and restricted sites... would that have anything to do with anything?

[james_8970]

NO, please do not change these setting. The sites that are blocked are blocked for a very good reason. If you go on one of them your comptuer will instatly be infected, no, not a good thing. I'm going to do a bit of research and see what i can pull up.
thanx

[james_8970]

can you give me a couple of examples of the proboards that don't work. Then we can rule out that they are down or that you have the incorrect URL.
thanx
James

what do you think of winsock xp fix 1.2? What is it, and is it ok for someone inexpirenced, like me, to use?
