jwhitlock Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 No problems here getting into it the last few days. Are you accessing through an ISP or a filtering function that might be blocking it? Are you trying to get to it at work or at home?

I can get on scriptures,lds.org and everything else just not the home page it opens up some weird page that says wiki cannot be found.

Obiwan Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Just try cleaning all your temp files, cookies, etc., close your browser, and even restart your computer.That will likely fix things, unless you have some other issue.
BCSpace Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Have you tried just plain "lds.org"? No http or www.
frankenstein Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Have you tried just plain "lds.org"? No http or www.you nailed it. The Church website is lds.org NOT www.lds.org
LDSToronto Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 you nailed it. The Church website is lds.org NOT www.lds.orgNah, both ways work... He tried both ways earlier. LDS Guy, did you ever fix this?H.
LDS Guy 1986 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Posted February 24, 2011 Nah, both ways work... He tried both ways earlier. LDS Guy, did you ever fix this?H.I tried lds.org, www.LDS.org, and http://www.LDS.org they all go to the same wiki not found screen. I'm going to uninstall my browser and reinstall it when I get home if I still can't get LDS.org mainpage. I can still get in everything else just not the homepage.
Nofear Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 If I were to venture he got a piece of malware that likes to play with the host file or some other DNS manipulation.Some are particularly nasty in that they'll only redirect your sites once every X minutes so as to not arouse too much suspicion.Perhaps a computer scan...
Obiwan Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Yep, if cookie cleaning and a restart didn't fix things, then he's likley got malware.A person shouldn't use the net unless they got a firewall with anti-virus and spyware protection.I use AVG Internet Security for firewall and bug protection as well as SuperAntiSpyware for bug protection, both running.
