Flyertalk forums no longer visible on IOS devices?
Beginning late yesterday, I cannot access any of the forums on two different phones, in either safari or Chrome.
Anyone else seeing the same problem?

Are you outside of the US? All traffic is being filtered currently to mitigate and ongoing issue and it is possible you're being flagged as malicious traffic.

EDIT -- I spoke too soon. Incognito mode having the same problems. I'm able to launch FT, access a few threads, and then everything just stops loading. I'm on my computer now and everything seems to be fine.

Not sure if this is related, but I cannot access any specific posts on my laptop with WiFi. I can access MyFT and go into any forum, but it just hangs when I try to enter a specific thread.
My iPhone on cell data allows me to access anything and everything.
Edit to add: I guess I can get into some threads on my laptop, like it just let me look at a thread in Coupon Connection, but I can't access this thread on my laptop, only on my iPhone.

Tech Support Co-Moderator jdiver just sent an email indicating that he cannot view FT on his iOS device either.

Switched to hotel wifi instead of using AT&T and can access everything. Both phones are AT&T that have been giving me trouble since yesterday.
Still get some strange pop ups that not all content could be downloaded.

Seems to work okay if I connect via wifi.
