Resolved Unable to View New Site at Work

[tubatodd]

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.

Looks like they're on aws.talkbass.co - Paul?

Yeah, attachments are stored on Amazon S3. Surely this shouldn't be a problem for work firewalls? Frustrating. Is it the ".co" web address that's throwing alerts?

On my end, I believe it's the .co. When I try to just go to aws.talkbass.co :
Your request to the web site Link Removed has been blocked by the (removed) content filtering system. The web site is listed in categories (Suspicious) which are not allowed at this time.

@Selta @tubatodd @DWBass I've changed the the attachment storage alias name to attach.talkbasscdn.com. Does this make a difference? Here's a test:

I'll have to test when I go back to work Monday.

Same boat as me. Thank you for making that effort, Paul. That was a minor issue I was having that wasn't something I felt worth reporting myself, until I saw others chiming in. I will test it monday morning and let you know.

No worries. If this works, I'd like to use the same domain/CDN for all javascript/css/images, so I'm eager to find out

 

[DWBass]

Ok, I am at work and was able to view that link.

 

[Selta]

Yup. Just got into the office and pulled it up - worked for me as well.

One of the issues with people who get the "blank format" from work is that they cannot reply or post. This is the first time since the overhaul that I've been able to log on from home since the redesign. TB still doesn't work for me at my worksite.

Holy cow who's your internet provider at home? They were blocking static.talkbasscdn.com ? That's the only CDN we use now (that's where all static images, javascript, css... basically everything that makes talkbass look and function like a website... is served from. So if you can get your work to get you access to that, you're good to go.

Sorry, the post wasn't clear. At home the site works fine. However, at work, even the day when it worked at my worksite (somehow), I couldn't reply or post anything. So I wonder if there are others that can't reply, etc.

Weird, though, work doesn't block static.talkbasscdn.com. That made me think to try IE instead of firefox. The site works on IE. Not sure about the reply, I'll assume this will post once I hit . . .

 

[farboozle]

It worked. I wonder why firefox is still messed up here at work then?

 

[Selta]

Clear your cache, cookies etc. It's likely still somehow storing something from the "old" TB site, which is causing it to be confused. Once you do that, I bet it starts working for ya!
