I can't view website using google chrome

[Smertrios]

I can't view astralpulse with windows10 google chrome. I can check for unread posts but for the last 2 days all I get when trying to view *any* other webpage I get sent a SMF .php file. I just tried a google chrom incognito window and I have no problem viewing the website. I can also login and view astralpulse with microsoft edge. The php file looks like some core definitions maybe a config file...

[Smertrios]

I cleared browsing data and the site seems to be working from a normal chrome browser window

[T-Man]

I had the same problem using Safari on my Mac and the same thing from my iPhone.  Everything seems to be working now without any effort on my end!   

[Phildan1]

Everybody had the same problem. These server issues are not new from the Pulse. Thanks for keeping it alive Adrian (or whoever did the fix lol).

[madmagus]

Pulse wasn't just down.  There are a number of posts missing as well from Friday.  Couldn't say how many.

[Xanth]

I'm having the same issue from my phone's Chrome browser, but it works when I go into Incognito Mode... strange.
I'll relay this information to Adrian.  It has to be something which Google added to the browser.

[Volgerle]

Still not all is fixed. Whoever relies on the "show unread posts" or similar searches gets a download request or something. It used to be each thread but it is still the special searches. "New posts" should work because many use it I assume.

[funfire]

seems to be working on chrome again for me, thanks for the fix 

[Xanth]

I don't know if any fixes happened, but I notified Adrian and updated him on the current findings.
He's usually a hard guy to get a hold of though, so patience and for now try clearing your cache.
If that does nothing, reset your browser completely and see if that helps.

[Xanth]

Resetting your browser seems to fix the issue.
