Problems with this website

Elphaba · 06-05-17, 05:01 PM

if I type

www.subsim.com

into my search bar I get a blank screen. I have to add /index.php to the end.

When I try and click on an article on the 'front page' I get taken to a (somewhat) sexist little cartoon about reporting a dead link (which I've done twice).

But I see no 'notice' of server or hosting problems. Anyone else getting this?

I have this link below bookmarked, why don't you bookmark it and try it.

The situation you have described might indicate the presence of a virus or malware. It might be a good idea to run an anti-virus software scan and, if you have a Windows OS, maybe running the MS Malicious Software Removal Tool...

This is what I get.

Same here. About twenty or so years ago, some worker at a site where I was on a project got their PC infected by virus/malware that redirected, at random times, the user to sites other than what they had typed into the URL box; it had apparently come in via an email attachment. The technology was considerably more primitive and vulnerable back then, but Elphaba's problem brought the earlier situation to mind. Its a long shot, but stranger things have happened...

I had a similar problem on my old XP in Firefox and eventually updated it (was about 2 years old), that fixed it. What browser are you using? is this on a PC or Android etc? Might be worth deleting your cookies.
