I trust ya. For me at least, there has been perfect correlation between status at iidrn and my ability to use the forum. I don't think user browser and system matters, but for ref, I'm Firefox on an Android device.
I'd be curious to know if the BF servers can sense a web crawler and disengage with or block only that, or needs to reboot to restore function.
