    Afraid I don't follow. Can you try explaining a different way?

    That is a little weird. Possibly your mobile network takes a circuitous route to the datacenter where our single server is located compared to how it navigates to similar sites.

    The site isn't working on my iPhone any longer. Other sites work on my phone and this site is fine on the computer, so I know it's not the internet connection.

    Thanks for reporting. A couple of questions to help me debug:

    1) What's the error screen that comes up?

    2) Does the issue crop up with both wifi enabled and disabled when you're at home?

    It's fine now, but no error screen came up at all. Just a white screen.

    It happened on both wifi and the cellular network.

    By the way, quoting me with a reply would have helped a bit, because once the site started working again, I forgot about posting this. That's why I'm so late to respond. I never got a reply alert.

    Again with the issues with being able to get onto the site through Galaxy. Why is this a continual pain in the ass?

    Is there a reason the site won't load on a particular WiFi network, but be fine on others? Happens on a phone and laptop.

    I wish I knew. The fact that it wasn't working and then it started working (without me making any changes to the server) and then stopped working indicates it's something external to the SJ server. If that's true, there's nothing I can do.

    Either there's a firewall somewhere blocking SJ, or a misconfiguration in a router somewhere. Can you PM me your IP address (google "what's my IP?") and a description of the wifi network... like is it your home vs work network? And to confirm, you've tried those same devices on the different network and they worked fine?

    The WiFi network thing cleared up. I had tried one of the devices on different networks and it worked fine.
    Thanks.

    As dixiehack posted above, the site has been loading slowly for me the past few days and seems to be worse today than before.
