It's also being broadcast / simulcast on our local over the air (antenna) FOX-TV affiliate for those who don't have Amazon Prime. ID: 117630 · Reply Quote

Takes a long time to load, when it even loads. Often the result is time out. ID: 117632 · Reply Quote

I tried to browse the forums and got the time out message that site took to long to respond and then it started to load, all of a sudden I get the following message: "Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource. Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu) Server at setiathome.berkeley.edu Port 443" Finally, a few minutes later it loaded, but now I can't post in any forums without the same error message. Edit cleared my cache, deleted SETI cookies, exit browser wait 30 seconds, sign in again, go to forums - they load but very slow, opened several topics and click the 'post to thread ' button and a box appears to write a message. Have not created a message to post in any topics except one noted below... Don't want to create unnecessary stuff requiring deleting. It looks like it won't let me post to Message boards : Politics : Don't know where it should go? Stick it here 4 ID: 117683 · Reply Quote

Can someone email or message Eric K to find out what is happening with the SETI website? * It's slow as molasses again and randomly timing out. Also, SETI still won't let me post to Message boards : Politics : Don't know where it should go? Stick it here 4 It did let me post a message on TLPTPHW CCCXLIV (344). I see that Scrooge McDuck posted yesterday on SETI he was having similar problems. https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=86186&postid=2153167 ID: 117703 · Reply Quote

Sometimes it would take 2-5 attempts for it to work and not get a Forbidden error. Grant Darwin NT. ID: 117725 · Reply Quote
