Forum website proxy issues

Anyone noticing random connect issues to the forum. If I run the IE “try to fix this issue”, it comes back and says unable to detect the sites proxy.

usually opening a new browser fixes it.

Go into IE and check your LAN connections where the proxy tab is. I had Norton from Comcast do a few crazy things for a while with proxy settings. I use IE for my work vpn and it caused issues but for some time it stopped. Are windows updates up to date? Latest browser version?

Great call… and a recent update may be it. But all the settings look correct.

I noticed when it happened to me I’d having something off about the proxy, when it wasn’t happening it worked fine. If you experience it again, go directly to these settings and check first before restarting or doing any other actions. Maybe you’ll catch the gremlin. :slight_smile:
