    Since I am running NoScript with Firefox, it didn't seem like I was having a script problem. Looks like my IP address was being blocked. After I rebooted my router and grabbed a new IP address from Sprint, I was able to connect to MDS.

    I wish that I could experience these problems so that I could troubleshoot, but other than the DDOS attack it has been lighting fast. I'm on a hotel network now and hoped that I'd see the slowdown, but nope. Maybe because I'm using a Mac? I don't even know where to start since there are no new scripts. I haven't modified the software in months.

    It's working fine for me on all of the above regardless of location or platform.

    For some reason it does that to me whenever I sign in on a computer at work or school. What I do is I log in (check the "remember me" box, not sure if it matters but I do it anyway) and then when it brings me to the home page (and still looks like I'm not logged on), I click on the "forums" link and then it shows that I'm logged in and can go to my UCP. Don't know why it does that, but try it and see if that works.

    That's been a quirk of the forum since day one and your description ofvthevsolution is perfect.

    I had restarted my router and modem thinking the same thing, but maybe I didn't leave it off long enough to grab a new addy???

    Will try it again this evening.

    This morning everything seems to be back to normal, no script errors and moving from page to page seems to be moving ok.

    I couldn't connect at all for the last 3 days. Once I was able to get a new IP address today for my home internet connect, I was able to reach the site.

    I actually released my IP from my ISP router and turned it off for over 30 mins. Then powered it back up and got a new IP address.

    I'm guessing my old IP somehow ended up on the blacklist and got blocked.

    FYI, I'm on a Mac, using Safari. I can access MDS on this machine from work and when I tether, but not from my home Comcast account. I just set-up Safari to use a German proxy server and now I can access MDS no problem. Did Cloudflare or someone else blacklist a range of IP addresses?
