But yes, as BR alluded to, finding out you had gotten back online inspired me to do all I could to get back online as well, figured if Willie could make it happen, no reason I couldn't too!

Thanks JayJayTwo for the left handed compliment, but I will be the first to admit to being super tech challenged (maybe it's my generation, remember I graduated college in 1971!) But thanks to you for always having my back and posting links (still having a problem doing that) to my various provider favorites! Now I have also learned NOT to take pictures around mirrors and certainly avoid getting my sad fat ass in the pictures of my favorites! But, here's my latest favorites and if I get to see them a few more times before I'm either incapacitated or dead, I'll definitely count myself lucky! Cheers!

Reminded me of Edward G Robertson's famous line from "Little Caesar" "Is this the end of Rocco?" Is this the end of the Forum? Probably too old of a reference for anyone these days to remember but appropriate, IMHO!

After about 3 or 4 days, I started trying everything, tried 4 different devices, including laptops, desktops and phones, tried 3 different browsers, tried a VPN, tried accessing someone else's internet, tried clearing my entire browser history, including all cache and cookies, tried resetting my modem, nothing worked! Not entirely sure what worked today, I again reset the modem, again cleared all my history and again tried another browser. Whatever it was, glad to be back! Now I just hope this isn't a one-off and the problem does not come up again! If everything is fixed, it's good timing, another trip to Orlando next week, got to do some research and figure out who I want to see.

Shout out to those that contacted me to offer assistance, you know who you are! Not only was it helpful, nice to have some contact with my fellow hobbyists, even if not here, on the board. And, minor embarrassment, one of the contacts let me know that Willie had figured out how to get back online. I was thinking, Damn, if Willie can figure it out, what the hell is taking me so damn long! Thanks for the inspiration, Willie!

That didn't do the trick, at least not for me. I had a couple guys reach out and say the same thing to me, tried it days ago and it didn't fix the problem. While I know that worked for some, the problem is clearly more involved than that. Like I said in the earlier post, I really can't say definitively what made it work for me, but I know it wasn't just removing the "s" from https.

So obviously I am not having any issues getting on the site and I honestly haven't done anything different than I was normally doing but I do believe are good friend JayJayTwo still can't access the site. I have shared the "Remove S" trick with him but still no success. If anyone knows him and can help him I'm sure he would appreciate it.

You have to get on the site first and read that post! 😝 which I believe most people aren't able to do!
