Can't get to home page

[greenwizard]

I don’t know if this is the right place to put this… but…  Everything was fine until this morning.  I use my bookmark to go to my story manager and that comes up fine.  I go to click on the home page for the archive and I just get this black screen that says website blocked by filter.  I go back to my story manager, and that still comes up fine.  I click on my story and that loads fine.  I then clicked on the little link to take me into the archive category where the story is posted.  Still no problem.  Like… what the hell?

You might want to see if your antivirus or browser is blocking us. You can whitelist the url for the main page, and it should solve the issue.

Okay,  I use firefox for my browser and avira for antivirus.  Exactly how do I do that?

[BronxWench]

I haven’t used Firefox in ages, but I believe it is an add-on for Firefox. The addon allows you to whitelist sites.

Avira should not be an issue, since I’ve never had Avira flip out over AFF.

Okay, I’m a computer idiot, but I’ll mess with it.  Thanks.

You either have a cookie issue, or you accidentally blocked the home page in Firefox.

If a cookie issue, make sure you’ve enabled third party cookies.  If you have not, the page won’t behave the way it should.
