Uh, then how did you get here?
I've been using the direct IP address for log in: 209.nnn.nnn.nnn and was getting the same error message. I'd back up and delete the /forum/brouse statements and just go to the 209 page.
I just re-saved my home page as http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/browse
and now all is working ok.
I am using another computer. I am cubicle bound. It is just my computer that does not let me on to latest posts.
I get the same error.
