Thank you for the heads up! Looking forward to fixes being implemented. This is always a great resource, worth checking in with, even when the site has problems…

Hope it won’t be down for long, because I was planning on using the Amazon link here to launch my holiday shopping, and support the AskWoody Lounge in that small way…

Thank you, Woody and MPVs for the info and helps.

Good point @elly, and great to hear you will be supporting Woody in keeping the lights on here with your holiday shopping 🙂

Hopefully you can bookmark the AskWoody Amazon affiliate link before the site goes offline for the holiday break:

Done, thank you! Now, when the site goes down over the Thanksgiving holiday, I can settle down with my list, and take care of as much of it as possible. My holiday spending is modest, but I figure every little bit helps!

Good luck Woody!

The main problem I have with the site these days is the time it takes to access anything. Hopefully that will be improved.

Woody,

Along with joining in wishing you success on the site repair, I should also like to take this opportunity to thank you — and all the AskWoody MVPs — for your dedication and invaluable efforts on our behalf, and to wish you and yours a Healthy & Happy Thanksgiving!

Just a heads up that today going to https://askwoody.com gives a 400 bad request error. Visiting https: works fine.

 

EDIT: Forum automatically adding the s to http above. Going to non-secure gives the error, going to the secure url works.

As askwoody.com is a secured https site, I would expect that trying to access it on http would give an error…

Greetings,

Many browsers can utilize an add-on known as HTTPS-Everywhere, from the EFF. It adds yet another useful layer of security and infrequently causes any problems (a quick search will provide numerous reviews); I highly recommend it: https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere.  Please do take a look at it.

Cheers,

AJN
