As an FYI, last week I too could not connect. I contacted my hosting provider for the server (for the forum site) and turns out someone added my IP address to their black list. I'm not sure why they did that but when they removed it, I could again connect. If anyone else feels this might be happening to them, PM me with your IP address and I will send it to them to check.

I use simple machines forum software. I'm not sure what apps they support other than Tapatalk.

Thanks for the report. If others who are having connection issues also post, I might be able to get to the core problem of what's going on.

Other than last week, I've had no connection problems.

That is the same error message I was getting.....went on for about 3 days.....did it at my work and home internet connection

That was probably last week when there was a problem with the site. As far as I know this week, the site is up and running. The hosting provider made some hardware and software upgrades to their server farm and had to make a configuration tweak to fix the problem from last week.

The site does need a server with a lot of horse power to run and I have upgraded my hosting account about 3 times since I started the forum to keep up with all the posts and the sheer size of the database, but I don't think that is an issue this time. At some point in the future I will have to upgrade again but for now, we're running on a pretty powerful server.

Try clearing your browser cache.

Usually when you can connect OK using your phone, you're connecting with a different network. Using your home PC you're using your ISP internet network, so that might be the problem there.

If you could not connect with your phone then one could say you can't connect via two different networks so the site must be down. But that isn't the case here. If this persists you should call your ISP and see if they are blocking the site for some reason.

There was a problem last week but my hosting provider fixed it. I am able to access the site today. If anyone else is having issues post here so I know.

Thanks...
