Title: Problem Loading Page for SR? HELP
Post by: Joeyoneway on September 19, 2012, 12:56 am
Hey guys, today is my first day in your community but I hope to become a part of it. Crazy enough I just found out about this site today! I opened up the SR page with the link on Wikipedia and it worked just fine. Then I registered and browsed a little and had to go to work. So excited all day to do some shopping and now my link isn't working anymore! I tried a few other links that I seen you guys post in this forum but nothing. Can someone please let me know the correct link or address that will get me to SR so I can do some shopping and make my first order  :) If you would like to PM me for anything that would be great as well, excited to be on board and ready to get rocking, help a brother out!

It must be the site I have checked like 15 links (a lot of the ones from venders on this forum to like to their ad, and none worked). Unless for some reason I have to do something else to my computer? It's a Mac and obviously I downloaded Tor. I don't know why this forum is working but I can't get on the SR Market site?? Any ideas? Thanks guys

Hi, this happened to me yesterday as well. It has happened once or twice before that.
However, there is a way around the problem. If I can't get to SR but I can get to other onion sites, then I look at the SR forum here.
If almost no one is complaining that they can't get to the site, then I assume that it is not a problem with SR.
I assume that it is some routing issue on Tor, or some strange caching issue.
Often if I shut down Tor and restart it, things are fine. Or, I use a different computer to get on the Tor network.
This worked for me yesterday, but I did not see this post until today.

Jesus.  The SR onion link is on WIKIPEDIA now?  God help us...
