I keep getting OOPS message

19 years ago

I am trying to reach a gardenjunk website. I was able to reach the site for about 3 days (a new site) then, suddenly I get this message.

Oops something went wrong!

Either the site is offline or an unhandled error occurred. We apologize and have logged the error. Please try your request again or if you know who your site administrator is let them know too.

The site administrator is a friend and it is not them, but something on my computer that is preventing me from reaching the site.No one else seems to have the problem.

I have Windows XP, use Windows Internet Explorer, I have the windows firewall. If you need to know anything else about my computer to help me out I will be HAPPY to provide you with the information.

I had been an assistant manager of this site for years and would really like to be able to participate again.

Thank you in advance for your help. Charlene

No, the site is www.gardenjunk.org. The site has only been up about 1 month.

I have turned off my antivirus and tried to get in but was unsuccessful. I will try your other suggestions. Many thanks!

keeping tabs on text messages??

FWIW, as I understand, taking someone else's phone and viewing the messages without their permission is illegal. There could be valid reasons here and nothing's been said so let's all put our blinders on and do the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil! LOL Assuming it's perfectly innocent, there's one super easy way to see the messages. Ask the person sending and/or receiving the messages to view them or forward them to you. That's easy, legal, legitimate and ethical. I highly suspect that request's not going to happen, so the only other legal way I can think of is getting a court order. I've seen there is an ongoing battle over company phones and data privacy so if it's a company phone there's the possible option that the company rep could look at it if you work for or own the company. Beyond that it's cat burgler, crackers, pickpockets or the like.

It worked OK for me.
You might go to Internet Option - Advance Tab and click on
Restore Advance Settings and in Folders Options click on
Restore Default.
If you think any settings have been changed.

I overlooked one location. Internet Options - Content Tab -
Click Enable - Rating Tab - and especially go to -
Approved Sites.
This last one to paste www.gardenjunk.org in and click
approved.

Works for me too. First thing I do when anomolies like this happen, is to run an independant virus check (Housecall) and do a couple of spyware scans (Spybot and Adaware).

Actually, there appears to be no actual WWW.gardenjunk.org on their web server. Or its server is configured to Redirect pages sent there, or all error urls to http://gardenjunk.org/default.aspx

Anotherwords.... just leave out the WWW part of the url, and you'll get to the default home page without the redirect problem.

Mikie, I tried using the link you provided and I get the same message. I pasted the link in the security tab and privacy tab and restarted the computer. That didn't work.

I have the latest Java and IE.

I went to Internet Options and pasted it there and approved it.

Nothing seems to work...What could possibly be my problem?

Thanks for all you help and I will continue to try any and all suggestions.
