    ANIXETY FORUM REDIRECTION LOOP - Trouble Loading Page?

    Hi Guys, just wondering if others are having issues loading up the Anxiety Forum Web Page. The error often reads as a "Redirection loop" resulting in the forum page no longer loading.

    It started off by loading the Index page, but when actually clicking on anyone’s thread, the Redirection Error would pop up locking me out. After a few goes, the Index Page would no longer load completely locking me out of the forum.

    I got around this by using another web browser - BUT - eventually the same issue would arise in much the same fashion.

    I have now have the error with Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explore and Microsoft Edge.

    Thankfully LINUX seems protected against this "mysterious" error.

    One would think if it was Admin ... they could just easily ban my IP. So it is I really don't think it's the Admin ... however I wonder if it's some kind of Cyberattack on the Website itself? Hmmmm ... could be anything I guess.

    Please do share if anyone has knowledge about this kind of thing.

    TY.

    I tried this sometime back but still did not work ... perhaps I will give it another go, however LINUX seems so much easier than having to continually go through these kind of fixes:

    Will try this once I am back in windows ... but won't hold my breath.

    Interesting. Thus far the above Fix (linked) seems to be working. HOWEVER, I have done this before. It was only a matter of time before the Redirection Loop error happened again. I will just surf around a bit, restart, log in a few times and jump in and out a few threads ... see what happens.

    Given that this error spread across four different web browsers, I am going to assume the issue is on the server side and that this fix will be short lived.

    I hope I am not right ... time to do some testing.

    I was suffering in it for years remember when I was working on afternoons and could not load or post? In home no problem at all. I use CCcleaner to occasionally get rid of all that garbage

    U see you need complete dummy ( in computer knowledge) to remind you
    I know you computer geek but sometimes people forget, I do delete everything in tmp or temp, software distribution, and prefetch. I also disabled Hibernate in my W7 to recover a lot of disk space ) I am not sure; are u on windows or Linux?

    Hi Dahila. I use both Linus and windows on the same system. Multiboot.

    I have the same issue again and thought I would. The redirection keeps happening even when I fix it, which makes me question it being a server issue. Of course it only being me on my system also brings a little paranoia into it which makes me wonder why I bother to continue staying here if it's going to be like that all that time. Like what? Pffft ... I'm kind of over the error.

    Anyways I will persist with emptying my cookies for a while yet. It's not normal to have to be doing it so often. Once again ... I'm over it.

    I had to remove firefox which i used for years due the redirecting loop and not opening pages I use for years. "your connection is not secure" I had read how fix it but it is too much to do with firefox becoming so bloated and slow. The crashings i had at least two or three in a week. I am using chrome for now but I am not really happy with it,

    My issue started with Chrome and has spread to four browsers; including Firefox. Firefox has. a very good reputation on Linux, but not so much on Windows. At any rate - given it is happening within a matter of days on all browsers, I agree it's a security issue regardless of whatever browser. If no one else if suffering the same attack, then it must be personal? BUT - that could just as easily not be the case. Just like rebirth - I have no real way of knowing. - How convenient.

    If you know of a good mental health place online that I can keep a diary, please let me know. I know of none that are NOT moderated which is very annoying having to have each post "approved." I only wish if admin here do have issues with me, they would be upfront about it ... however I really don't want to entertain such thoughts as only develops a paranoia without really knowing what is going on. Other than that ... like I alluded to ... could be a personal ip attack? Again ... not worth entertaining. The best way is to ultimate find another place ... but I as you know I have tired so many times without success. You think this place is full of children; you should check out some of the others. SAS is like a kindergarten compared to here with so many oversewed BS self embedded labels just so that can take the easy way out ... pop goes another pill and the mill keeps turning. You know the drill.

    SIGH - One day, I will find somewhere ... in the mean time I will put up with it in here. I'm used to appearing like an odd ball hermit with his seemingly addiction to keep a journal. Speaking of which I go read your feedback in there.
