    problems with the site loading

    I am having big problems getting the site to load, I've changed my bookmark to the address below on the advice of reddevil but its made no difference, I've also tried it with and without everything after .com/

    Hidden Content

    I do eventually get it to load (when I have the patience) using the above url.

    I've been away from the UK from 7th Jan - 12th March, during that time I changed from broadband with Sky to Fibre with Plusnet. My problems have only started since I came back and started using Fibre.

    I have no other problems with any other website and as said WOD does eventually load after many tries. It doesn't matter if I use the laptop, desktop, phone or tablet, as I have the same problem on all of them.

    Apart from continually hitting the retry button when I get server cannot be found is there anything else I can try ?

    If what NAO suggest does not work try turning Safeguard off or allow the website

    Scroll down the page for step by step instructions or download the userguide

    Safeguard wasn't turned on, Ive added WOD into the allow websites. I'm going to log out now and see what happens, If I don't post again shortly then it didn't work.


    Hidden Content that seems to have fixed it ...... I hope - thank you :-)

    Update - it hasn't fixed it at all, spent ages tonight trying to get the forum to load, I've double checked in safeguard and WOD address is in the allow websites.

    Anyone any other ideas ?

    yes, firefox is set to clear it anyhow when I close it, but I've also manually cleared it on firefox, IE and chrome, to be honest I really don't think its a browser problem, I think it's got to be something with plusnet but I don't know what. I've rebooted the router several times as well.

    I think my problem might be DNS server.

    Bill won’t let me mess with the routers setting (I will tho when he’s asleep) but for now I’ve changed my phone to Google’s DNS server and got on first time, this might just be luck as occasionally I do get on first try. I’ll log out and keep trying throughout the day to check.

    EDIT - Checked my hub and I’ve got a Plusnet hub one and the DNS server can’t be changed on it, they’ve blocked the custom DNS Setting, so it looks like I’m going to have to change it manually on every device that uses the broadband.

    It really doesn’t matter what browser I use Gaz, my phone has safari browser, laptop is Firefox, desktop is different again.

    Quick update just in case anyone else ever encounters this problem.

    It was my DNS Server causing the issues, I have now changed it so my my network uses google public DNS
