Last week I had a minor issue where my main computer was dead, and I was attempting to access SR to finalize a few purchases via tor2web which I used to be able to use to access SR with. To my surprise I was able to access the log in page, but the captcha wouldn't show up. I checked a few other normal sites with captcha and they showed up fine. Did something change when the site was switched over to the new name that no longer allows access via tor2web? I also noticed while reading on the forums avatar photos aren't showing up anymore.
While I know tor2web is not the best way to access the site, but for quick things like finalizing and checking messages I didn't think it would hurt.

Tor2web is web proxy so it doesn't work with posting.
Also I do not think anyone wants to encourage anyone to use tor2web. The system is only as strong as it's weakest link.

I can agree with that and I normally wouldn't use it, but I didn't want to leave a seller hanging. In the end I was able to load tails from a usb drive so it all worked out for the better, just wasn't sure if something had changed.
I did notice that I could read threads, but not post when using tor2web on the forums. Oh well the computer is back up and running at full force. Even added a few extra layers of security and encryption I suppose the crash was the computer gods way of telling me I needed a change.
