The problem this time is, it won’t even send me a password reset. After reading your post, I went and reset the network settings and deleted all cookies and website history on my iPad. That didn’t work either.
Im wondering if a mod manually sent me a reset to my email, if that might work.
Im completely locked out and banished to watching the white screen. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE THE WHITE SCREEN!!!!
I forget if it was this thread or another but someone posted an smtp error they got when they tried to do something on ATS. The context of that error message is that the SMTP server is inaccessible. SMTP is used for sending mail. Either the SMTP service on the box is missing or down or the server it points to is down.
This is something someone with admin rights to the machine will need to address.

I'll upload a post or a reply and it will just sit there and spin, then nothing happens and it eventually times out. I'll do this 2-3 times before it loads; it's very noticable. Same thing with refresh.
I know it's not my browser or my cache because I dump that and clear it completely every time I close my browser. I also clear out all cookies every time also. After studying this more carefully, I think it has something to do with another person making a post on the same thread (but this doesn't fully explain the refresh issue). It's like there's a posting queue or something and it gets full, and once that happens any subsequent action gets biffed. The strange part is, if this were the case then more people should notice it, not just me.
This glitch doesn't happen all the time, but it happens quite a bit (like about every 3rd or 4th action), and it's only on ATS. Like here, for example, when I hit "Post Reply" it posts the acknowledgement screen instantly (less than 1 second).
And I know it's not my internet connection because we've upgraded to a different service and it's lightning fast now. We can stream and even game with games like EVE (which is a bandwidth-intense game with all the graphics) with virtually zero latency. My processor will choke on EVE before my connection chokes, but that's rare now too since I did some upgrades.
Try dumping everything when you close your browser. That's what I do and it seems to work fine. I've never had to change my password since I got back in. But I have to login every time. I think it may be cookie related. I just set a rule where it dumps everything except for a couple selected sites I use for work (where I have multiple layers of MFA to deal with). Everything else gets blown out every time close my browser.
FWIW I had that exact same issue for YEARS and only on ATS and only when I was out on the West Coast. Numerous threads were brought up about it over the years and the management always denied there is any problem. The site basically stalls while loading. Sometimes certain elements don't load.
I'll tell you what I think it is... Some sort of MTU problem on an outbound route to the west that is not used for East Coast destinations. It will produce this exact behavior and only for those who's traffic crosses the affected link.
