Every time I get to the Paizo home page I see the lovely graphics for half a second, but then get bumped to a white loading screen....for ever...
I end up having to go to other websites and try to get to Paizo from there...success! Half a second later...Hello white screen!
Clicking refresh just stops the loading and leaves me with the lovely white screen.
I now have to do all the above steps repeatedly for about 5 minutes before I am able to get to Paizo.
This does not happen to any other websites...just Paizo.
Whats happening?
It's been this way for 6 months with it getting worse each week...to now each day.
Interestingly...if I link to the messageboards I get in first try...HMMM.
Sounds like your browser is trying to force an https session. If I recall correctly Paizo's outside site (areas that aren't using log-in info) will automatically push for a regular http session. If your browser is trying to force a safe session then it will get stuck in an infinite loop with Paizo's site. Paizo's site detects the issue and shunts you out to a crash page.
This information is being assembled from fragments of half-remembered conversations over the course of a few years. But, if I'm right then you could lower your browser saftey from high to medium or add Paizo to your trusted sites list.
Hey Selunatic2397,
We're having trouble replicating your issue. What browser/OS are you running where you're seeing that behavior. Also, you might want to try clearing your browser's cache, weird things can get caught in there and fester.....
I am running internet explorer current version on windows vista home premium. Safe setting on browser is Medium.
Hmmm, having difficulty repoing. Can you try it on another browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc) and let me know if you are seeing the same behavior?
For the nonce...it seems to be back to the normal...when I deep link to the messageboards, I have no problems at all.
BigDTBone's info seem to be making sense as I too have half remembered those conversations.
Thanks for the assist!
