Goddammit, I *still* can't get to Bev Harris' website!

[NightTrain]

I get the message, "Opening page http://www.blackboxvoting.org ," but after several minutes, it still hasn't loaded. This bullshit has been going on for days, and I'm fucking pissed off! :argh:

[SharonAnn]

1. Here's what I get - "The page cannot be displayed"

The page cannot be displayed.

Is it down?

Has it been hacked?

[NightTrain]

3. Ah, so it's not just me!

Unfortunately, we can't ask Bev directly (she posts to DU) as she's currently in Florida, trying to help salvage what's left of our democracy.

But can somebody else help???

[benburch]

2. Sounds like the hackers got it.

Bastards.

[Stand and Fight]

4. Works fine for me...

It works fine for me... I simply opened a new browser window and typed the site address in myself.

[NightTrain]

5. Just tried what you suggested; didn't work.

:wtf:

[Stand and Fight]

8. NightTrain

That is one of the drinks my grandmother always drank; nonetheless, I digress, and I suggest that you try, try, try again. I'm not having any problem whatsoever getting to the site peeps.

[aprillcm]

6. try this

http://www.blackboxvoting.org

[SharonAnn]

19. This worked. Typed it in.

7. fix your link...remove the V which is before the B after the K....n/t

[NightTrain]

9. Whoops! That was a typo.

And I just tried again to get there, but couldn't. I'm beginning to wonder if SBC Global (a/k/a Yahoo!) has blocked BBV....

[Jazzgirl]

16. I have SBC DSL

and I'm not having any problem reaching the site. Don't know whats up with it. I do know Bev said a couple of weeks ago that hackers were hitting them hard. No problem here tho...

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

10. Works here.

Might be a DNS problem at your ISP. Try a traceroute.

[NightTrain]

13. Pardon my ignorance, but what's a "traceroute?"

:shrug:

[Flammable Materials]

11. I just got it to load, no problem.

Maybe there's traffic/routing problems.

[billyoc]

12. Works here. n/t

[dweller]

14. works for me, and i'm on a dialup

clear your cache, reboot, etc. you should be able to get there.

all the same, i'm not seeing any updates since Florida lockdown news was released...

good luck

15. Worked for me at 2014 CST....but nothing new there AFAICS

...
:eyes:

[tanyev]

17. I am having that problem too.

My husband can pull it up on his computer which is on a LAN with me, but I can't. Go figure. He's been trying a few things, but nothing has worked so far.

[Starlight]

18. You're not missing anything.

Nothing new there for several days.

[pacalo]

20. I had no problem getting in. This message was posted...

Please excuse our temporary reconstruction --
This site went down recently when we posted sensitive information.

[TryingToWarnYou]

21. Fired right up for me...

No problems.

[jayctravis]

22. Up at 9:22 CST for me. (n/t)

[tanyev]

23. Update!

I can now get to the BBV site. Apparently there is one crucial difference between my computer and Mr. tanyev's computer. He has Windows 98 and I have Windows ME. His googling seemed to suggest that ME and XP are the most likely to have problems with javascript. There was something in javascript on the BBV site at the top right by the Donate prompt. He said that's where my computer kept hanging up when it tried to access BBV. Anyway, it's not on the home page anymore, and I can get there without any problem.

Don't know if this was also your problem, but you might want to try going there again.
