Sometimes you have to swipe all the apps away so there is nothing “open” on your phone at all and then start with the browser again, maybe even after a good old-fashioned power-off/power-on, but only with all the apps closed first.

Re-do your bookmark with “https://“; in front of www.freerupublic.com.

“power your phone off and on”

Whenever I start having problems that is my go to move. Usually works.

Haven’t you heard.
Free Republic is banned in San Francisco.
The mayor has jammed the signal.

FR wasn’t accessible to me most of yesterday (23rd) on either iMac or Android.

My iPhone 7+ was having that issue yesterday (24th), but I just tied it and it works fine. It worked/s fine on my PC.

I know a woman who dropped her iPhone in the toilet (because she keeps it in her pants back pocket). Twice.

There was a short time yesterday that I couldn’t access FR on any device. Error message said I wasn’t connected to the internet. I could access anything else ... just not FR. All is well today.

Happened to me yesterday. It seems to have self-corrected. I have no idea what caused it.

Yeah, that was weird, because I could connect to other sites so I knew I WAS connected to the internet.

There was a server problem with all of Free Republic yesterday.

It should work today.
