Resolved Unable to View New Site at Work

It appears that something in talk bass is now being blocked by my company's filter. So none of the formatting is correct when I am at work. It is like the graphics and CSS is blocked. Are images and CSS being hosted somewhere new? So far...not happy with the format. Phpbb would have been a better software choice.
 
Major trouble – the new site will not load correctly on my PC at work. There is no formatting, there are no graphics, no menu bars – nothing. Just a long single column of text. I am using both Firefox and IE and it doesn't work on either.
The site loads correctly on my iPhone, though.

Thoughts?
 
Have you cleared cache? If it's happening on multiple browsers, that implies that something is being blocked at the network level by your company. What versions of IE/FF are you using? Can you test on Chrome? I'm able to view the site fine on IE8-10 as well as latest FF and Chrome.
 
For all you at work etc who can't load the CSS (no graphics etc), go to

And please paste the exact error you get.

Also go to

Invalid Link Removed

and let me know what datacenter you're hitting.

I've switched talkbass off of the CDN until we can get this resolved.

The error message I get isan internal company message that states the site is "suspicious".

The data center is MaxCDN Virginia.

Oddly enough, at 1pm pacific time, formatting is now working. Most graphics & avatars are not, but this is much better. Thanks for your efforts.

Btw, I'm posting this from the browser on my iPhone - app is not working

Thanks! Ok I think we're just going to get off of MaxCDN. For now as you've noted at least the css is served from the tb server. I'm going to look at other CDN's.
 
Yep, everything working 99.9% here at work. Looks like the Talkbass logo in the upper left is still on the CDN or the graphic is missing.

I really appreciate you taking our work situations into consideration and putting the satisfaction of the users first. You da man Paul!!
