I don't know which one you mean. I found three Inkscape forums and they are all working.

Weird... It's working fine for me.

I know.

I can get to it by using the wayback machine.

It's a snapshot of 2009 though :lol

I have no problem getting to the site Rod (but I'm using IE; lol). You might try to delete any cache and cookies in Firefox and try again. Figured you already tried rebooting you PC.

I'm using Firefox v3.5.15 and it's loading fine for me. I think Lyle's suggestion about clearing your cache and cookies may help but dunno. Maybe it's your IP? Are you having trouble with any other websites loading?

Rod · **Joined:** May 16, 2010 **Posts:** 16175

Nope just this one.Someone told me that Norton after being removed via add/remove programs doesn't really remove everything and sometimes will cause a site to look like its unsecure, and not load it.so i downloaded the norton removal tool from symantecs website and it did indeed seem to remove a few files the add/remove program missed.Tried it again and still it will not load the site.
I cleared all cookies and cache still inkscape forums won't load. :\

Weird.

Hrmmmm starting to wonder if its my IP as navigator and IE8 both will not allow the site to open either.

Yeah; when I was steadily in the PC repair business, I hated Norton. Their philosophy is that it takes a virus to kill one. lol

Not sure what the solution is Rod. Thought you were using Linux, but looks like you are using Windows. Try booting in safe mode with networking and see if you can get to that site. That will at least rule out a possible rogue program blocking you. Could also be something obscure with your firewall (dangerous, but you could temporarily disable it and see if you can get to that site).

And you just Ninja'ed me Rod (when will there be a smiley so I can post one here with that; lol).

Going to download Opera and try that.
Nothing doing - - guess ill have to contact my service provider and find out whats going on.

Thanks Lyle ill try those first.Safe mode might do it.

Rod, just use a proxy

That would work to test for your IP

It won't open for me in Firefox or IE. Just gets a loading error.

I don't need to go there and I know this doesn't help, but misery loves company :P

Rod, did you try using a Proxy to test your IP?
and it works for me in Firefox 4

Not going to change my settings back, but forgot that I'm using OpenDNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220). It could have something to do with the caching that your ISP's DNS server is using. You can also try OpenDNS temporarily to see if that's the case Rod.
