Too many redirects error

isambard1803 · May 26th, 2018, 11:43 PM

Following recent updates from Microsoft, this site is giving "Too many redirects" errors. Not happening, so far, on most other sites I visit. Is anyone else having this problem?

Not exactly - last night I kept getting redirected to a dodgy porn site (as opposed to this, non-dodgy, one

). Tonight that's stopped, but the bookmark I use to get here,
http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/subscription.php
isn't working, nor is the link within the site:
Quick Links > Subscribed Threads
Both take me to the main webpage (http://vintage-erotica-forum.com/)

Last night I had downloaded updates and a restart was pending; tonight it's had its restart.

I've just been assuming there's a glitch with VEF that will soon pass.

I did last night, but mine seems to be working now.

Using Google DNS servers or OpenDNS servers, access here is solid now.

Flushing your DNS seems to be the easiest solution
unless your browser has its own DNS cache

Getting redirected to “buy this domain” page?

If MS updates are causing issues you will find the answer here - personally i think it just coincidence as those MS updates came out a fortnight ago

As they always say dont be an idiot and accept MS updates automatically

The current warning level 2 - Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it.

I had the same problem today. I tried several browsers (Firefox, Opera) and get the same result : "page not found" or "too many redirections".
So, I tried several search engines : links from Google, Qwant didn't work.
I finally reached my favourite forum with Bing on Firefox...
I don't understand where is the problem.
