I Can't Load Racketboy's forum on my PC, only on my phone.

Post by Mad_Hatter »

I'm typing this message in my phone.

Amway, I can never load or use this forum on my PC. I have to use my phone. And it is really slow. I'd rather use my computer.

When I try to use it on my computer, the browser says "could not connect".

Anyone know why?

my internet is working perfectly. only having the issue with this site.

Like Hobie said, this is usually just a cookie issue. If that doesnt fix it, try clearing the temp files for your browser.

I cleared everything via CCleaner, and restarted my router. Still the same issue.

Try flushing your DNS cache. If you're on a windows system:

WINKEY+R
CMD
IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS

Maybe reboot at that point for good measure.

Well... I tried to use another computer on my network. Same issue.

I can load the site on my phone. But is is super slow.

Once I disconnected my phone from the WiFi and just used my data plan, the site is running really fast.

So I think it might be a network problem. Its weird though. Only this site is giving me the problems.

my download speeds are still fast.

That is really bizarre. Especially since it is still an issue after you reset your router. Hmm.

I just tried the DNS Flush after restarting my modem and router. Same issue.

This sucks. I wanna use this site on my computer.
