Odd problem getting on site

[Welder Dave]

I can get on on my computer but couldn't get on on my phone all day. Never had that issue before. Is there something I can change in my phone settings?

Hi Dave !
I wouldn't make any changes in the phone settings yet. That can lead to more problems.
Is it just the HEF website or all websites ?

I had to turn my VPN off today to get on. My guess is this is a result of the spam attacks last week.

pause on vpn just expired and I could not load a page. VPN is paused again and all working.

Site's been down for me more than its been up lately.

It's just HEF but I finally got on with my phone. I know the site was hacked and figured it's related but seems odd how only my phone was affected. It has done it before but usually after waiting 10 or 15 minutes I can get on.

What's VPN?

Not just HEF. I've had problems with Rumble, FB Marketplace and other sites.

Funny thing is that ANYTHING goog related worked fine.

Makes ya go hhhmmmmmm.

Could be browser related.
I use Firefox for a browser and DuckDuckGo for a search engine and I seldom have problems with loading HEF.

 

[MarcusZ1967]

Same browser, FF. Duck doesn't work in those times either...

This site has been screwed up for me lately.
Seems the more time I’m on the slower it gets, to the point of just shutting down.

Couldn't get on this morning, working now.
And it's not posting this right now, black line moving across the top but not posting.
I'll leave it doing whatever it's doing and see if it goes.

It has been increasingly hard to get on the site the last few days. Took all day today before I could finally get on.

 

[Old Growth]

It’s just been in the mornings the last two days (tues/wed) for me that’s been unavailable

For those that don't know ---- There is a thread going in the support forum discussing the same issues.

For me, the slow loading problem is much better this morning. But it is still slow.

Same here.

Couldn't get on at all yesterday. It's a crap shoot for me daily. Some days its so frustrating I will go days without trying

 

[mg2361]

Every day at lunch, I usually cannot get onto the site. Either laptop or phone, either WIFI or through the cell network.

I think its the time of day maybe everyone trys it at the same time ?

Its horrible right now. Its dead slow.
