I've been trying for weeks to get on the official website and haven't been able to. Anyone else experiencing the same difficulties?

No I still can't get in. Must be something to do with my browser settings. Any suggestions?

I remember some folks taking about their type of firewall. The answer might be found in the Q & A forum...

Every few weeks or so I have problems getting onto SRD's site for some bizarre reason.

Originally my ISP did something (not sure what though) at their end and it seemed to be working fine. But, it's happened several more times since then. My ISP is a pain in the *#@(! so I played around and this is what seems to work: clear out your temp files (not the cookies, just the files) and history files. The site seems to load once you've done that.

Hope that helps!

Hi Danlo

Is it possible to pass this message on to the administrator of SRD's Website? It appears the reason I can't get on is because their filters block my ISP's address for some reason. My ISP has come up against this with a few other websites as well and it means getting those websites to unblock the addresses.

In my case, apparently they are blocking 58.0.0.0/8 and/or 59.0.0.0/8. Obviously this doesn't just affect me. My ISP was going to contact them as well, but they said they don't always get a response, so I thought a two pronged attack might work.

If their site administrator needs some technical help as to how to do it, they can contact: www.internode.on.net my ISP who said they'd be happy to help them out.

You could PM Romeo. He's SRD's webmaster.
