I'm confused. Since yesterday I can not get to Community on my laptop - I get the message Welcome to nginx - but I can on my iPad - as I'm doing now. What can be wrong?

You have redirect malware/virus. What anti-virus program do you use? Download (free) Malwarebytes or Spybot run the updates and scan your computer until the scan shows no problems.These programs do not interfere with your regular anti-virus as they must be run manually. I added links...I hope they show

Oh my goodness, I was given PC fine tune by my internet provider and it had done my updates-well after hearing about your issue Martine I decided to manually update. Wow, after hours of upgrades my PC
is flying and I can get into the web sites.
I'm so glad I did. Now I have IE9 on Vista 32 which is just flying. Backups done and relief. Now to more
important stuff like barbecues.

I recently had my lap top worked on. The tech told me to get a wire cookie rack to sit my lap top on. It
lifts the lap top up from the table top about 3/4 to
1 inch so there is an air flow. Dollar General has the racks for $2.oo. Just a hint. Mauree

I agree-it gets so hot on these laptops.

I had to run 3 versions of spyware to clean up my laptop last week. Which reminds me to share that we need to vacuum any openings on all surfaces of our computers regularly. Be sure to stay a few seconds at the fan and each port and across the keyboard,etc. New bag or emptied "can" often makes a difference. Makes them run cooler which is necessary for all kinds of things. I'm not super techy but my son is.

I have heard from lots of sources that Firefox is the most stable browser of all, but I much prefer my old faithful. Remember you can always dump cache, which we should do ever couple of weeks anyway. And something really simple to try after that is to turn off your laptop completely, and give it a full ten minutes or more, then go back and boot up. Sometimes the www gets in the way of an address, also. Maybe try retyping in the URL without the www.... Just ideas from "hightech"grammy. I hate it when it does that!

It had an overnight rest and that did not help. Funny thing is it's just community. I can go straight to projects and from there to all sections by clicking the tabs, but NOT to community.

So it's Firefox for Cute and old faithful for the rest.

Sorry, thats weird but I haven't been able to get into other sites that I should be able too this past weekend-weird and annoying. What browser are you using, I have an older vs. windows internet explorer that I'm weary of but maybe I'll change.

strange... I should say when the iPad can, the laptop should be able to do so too. Don't understand either, sorry. But here's a hug and a * for you. Hope you will be able to come in community on your laptop soon.
