IPR is under a Directed Denial of Service Attack. It comes and goes. It is being defeated.
I have heard from someone I think is a real, famous user, who can’t get in to IPR. He says he is blocked.
He says he no longer uses email, using a message submitted here. He asked for a text response. He doesn’t use email. I do not use a cell phone. I can be reached by comments on this post (will not be published). If he is real, he may still have my phone number.
Since the 19th I have been able to get on IPR from internet explorer (or edge, or whatever they call it now), but not firefox, which is what I use 99.9% of the time. If I go there with firefox I get a screen that says “Enable JavaScript and cookies to continue”. I temporarily allow IPR on noscript and… I get the same screen that says “Enable JavaScript and cookies to continue”. There doesn’t appear to be anything else to allow. Maybe I need to delete some cookies or something. I haven’t had time to play around with it.
But, using a different browser may help people who can’t presently access it.
