I'm very sorry about the response time problems we've been having recently and now this page loading problem we're having today. I've called and left messages on John's phone, email, freepmail and facebook several times per day since Saturday. No luck. He seems to be off the grid. Don't know if he took a trip or his phone is broken, lost or turned off and he has no internet service in his new apartment or what, but I've been unable to reach him. Also do not have his new address. Hopefully, he'll check in soon and get it fixed. Don't mind telling you, I'm worried.
Meanwhile, until John finally checks in and gets it fixed, here's a temporary workaround:
At the top of the articles index page click: "Account" and then "My Preferences."
Set 20 messages per page
Set 20 results per page
Set them both to 20. You can change them back after John gets the problem fixed.
Direct link to preference settings:

Prayers up.
My prayers that you are able to contact John soon.
That sounds weird
Crissake Jimbo, quit screwin’ around and get the harness on another Hamster or two.
And don’t cheap out on the peanuts.
...but don't take it personally.
And after you make those changes, you have to log-off and stay that way if you want to have the sidebars. Of course, you can’t comment when logged off so that’s a downer.
I don’t know why it works for some but not others. Someone else suggested to use http rather than https when coming to FR. Apparently that makes a difference on some browsers, had no effect on mine.
Also “Brevity” can be set to “Headers” on the main articles index page, then you should be able to get the sidebars.
When all else fails, here’s a direct link to the breaking news sidebar:

And frontpage:

I could swear I remember this same thing happening before, with the same temporary fix. Strange.
I had to log off when I was set at 50/50 but after I set me preferences to 20/20 I have a full screen and no problems. Been that way all afternoon.

none of that helps the problem.
no problems? is that why you double posted?
Thanks (especially for the direct link, which saves some time).
I’ll add that changing my settings needed more time than usual. Anyone who tries this method should be ready to wait a little longer for the settings to change—wait until each change is confirmed before clicking elsewhere or closing the window.
Eeeep!
Done, please keep us posted...
Possibly the same or similar problem. Or the same people doing the same or similar DOS attack. But I’m thinking it’s more likely a network or router problem.
Looked like a triple post. Let’s see what this one does.
I was able to solve my problem by switching browsers. Firefox: problem. Chrome and Edge: no problem.
But now, it is forcing you to triple-post!!! LOL
Last I heard, he was meeting with a Russian lawyer.
