If I go to eomahaforums.com it tells me the site is not avaible.

I googled it, got the link for the rumors page, and it goes right to it.

Any ideas? Whats going on?

I have had the same issue for three weeks now. Â I have to google "www.eomahaforums.com login" and then I can get to it.

Gotta clear yo' cookies!

Don't you think I would have tried that by now... Â This is something different.

That happened to me about a year ago. Â In fact, there is a LOOONG gap in my posts some time in the past as I stumbled across a link in an Omaha search and clicked on it, realizing I could access it that way. Â However, I have had no problem in a long time.

My other problem is I need to hit "refresh" in between every move with in the site.

Google eomahaforums click on link -- Â error -- Â refresh -- works fine. Â
click on urban development -- error -- Â refresh -- works fine
Click on thread -- Â error -- Â refresh Â -- works fine
post reply -- Â error - refresh works fine.

Its completely annoying.

So, not in a couple years, eh?

This is an extremely annoying part of this site and has been for a couple of years. Â Even if clearing cookies always worked, which is doesn't, it would be the only site I ever have to do that for. Â Seems like a pretty ridiculous flaw somewhere. Â I guess you get what you pay for but it seems if someone wants the site to be here they would make it work.

For me the site will work ~35% of the time if I'm not logged in, but will work 100% of the time if I am logged in. So I just book marked the login page and click that whenever I want to visit the site.

The only way I have been able to access this site for at least a year or two is from an anonymous proxy. If I try to go to the site directly I get this message...

No - I checked your IP and it was not on the banned list.

Clear your cookies like others have mentioned above. Â It works 100% of the time for me but I have to clear the cookies every few months. Â I wish this issue would be permanently fixed!!

I was the one who asked that question. I am/was using a web proxy so the IP you got was probably not my true IP address. It's the only way this website will work for me.
