    He is also less than discreet about former and/or banned FPN members and the reasons for their removal, and that includes people on this thread.
    It’s no shame to have been banned over there. Whatever Wim has to say about departed members wouldn’t even qualify as dirt to me. Such comments would only make Wim come off as petty and vindictive.

    FPN still doesn’t render content in my Safari on iOS. The site was still functional with the Duck Duck Go browser for iOS. Now the DDG browser chokes on FPN, too. I’m not going to fire up my ancient laptop just to go to their site. Oh well, back to ignoring FPN.

    Forgive me if I misunderstand your post but it sounds like you're confusing search engines and browsers. I hope you know you can use Duck Duck Go, or any other search engine for that matter, on any browser whatsoever. That is independent of of software. And you can install (and run) any number of browsers simultaneously on just about any computer. I think you have lots of options if you did want to be able to visit all sites.

    Wim was experimenting with some stuff at the back end, which was causing things to hang. He's reset it. It should work in your browsers now. Both Safari and DDG worked just fine for me on the iPad 7.

    Good to know. I was having all kinds of issues with the site yesterday - freezing up, desktop Safari complaining of heavy resource use, etc.

    I just tried to search for an ink review on there and even without being able to sign-in received a message that it was using a lot of memory on my iMac. Clicked on something and it never loaded then I got large portion of black screen.

    Juul, DuckDuckGo has a browser for iOS. I use it when sites don’t work with Safari.

    Well, that's the kind of thing it was doing all day yesterday.

    Wim posted that clearing cache/history/etc does the trick.

    The odd thing is that I didn't have any problems, at all, with Firefox on my laptop.

    The iPad Os I'm using is something like 14.4.

    My phone is on 14.4 too. I also find that Firefox (on Linux) works just fine

    It would be helpful to state that it is offline for maintenance. The difference between a purposeful powering off of a site for a purpose and a site that is reported down (which could be anything, including a crash) is good information to have.

    My apologies for not elaborating.

    Fountain Pen Network is reportedly down for maintenance and other servicing of the website. This information is noted on the page one reaches after attempting to reach the website.
