unable to access curse

[gooddog15]

Today I was trying to download KAS on curseforge and the page didn't load. I refreshed the page multiple times and nothing happened.

I thought that it was a bad link so went to the regular curseforge page and that didn't load. Then I noticed that none of the links to the worked.

could this be due to me reinstalling windows and not having the appropriate drivers for curse to work? Server side issues?

Or is it something else?

have you tried going to curse.com instead? Also try clearing your cache and flushing your DNS resolver cache?

[zekes]

if you're using google chrome, clear your cache as Kasper said, that will clear up broken links (probably)

[gooddog15]

yep, I did all of that and still nothing.

It looks like I cant access the site at all.

edit: it appears that Chrome now works for some reason, although Internet explorer doesn't work

I'll go poke someone about that and see if we can figure it out.

Could you run a trace route to curse.com and curseforge.com and let me know what IP it displays?

And could you private message me with your IP?

I am not being able to resolve this the easy way. If you could fill out a ticket here http://support.curse.com/anonymous_requests/new , the support team can do a more in depth investigation into the cause of the issue.

Do you have any add ons installed in the IE? Something like an ad blocker? If yes then deactivate or uninstall them and try again.

I filled it out. I hope that they know what's going on

Nope, I have no add ons for IE (except Bing bar, however I deleted that immediately after I reinstalled windows.).
