Title: Categories not showing up in Main Page
Post by: anon69 on December 22, 2012, 07:40 pm
Hi there this has happened to me a lot of times that's why i made the topic, when i access silkroad in the main page it doesn't show up the categories nor if I try going to the categories by typing the url address of the category.
I think this is a method for SilkRoad to save bandwidth since it prevents people from searching from category to category, but I'm just guessing, does anyone have any clue on why does that happen?

Best Regards
Anon69

I am on the site right now. It is very slow but it is functioning normally.  The site looks the same as always. All of the categories are there. 

Are you using this address for the main site:  http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/

This is an example of what a category address should look like
This one is for prescription pills:  http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/category/92
Here is the URL for cannabis: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/category/1

Does this help you?

Hey gypsy, well i know i can do that but sometimes it doesn't even load those pages it just stays at a blank silkroad page with logo and search bar and nothing else, I know that you probably are able to see them now but in the near future I guarantee that it wont show up one day or another and by that time i will screenshot it , also if you are a real gypsy give me back my money! :P

Something that may have happened. Do you live in a country that has no vendors?
If yes it's possible that you checked "domestic only" and everything disappeared. Go to account >> settings >>  choose a different country.
Then click on a category and uncheck domestic only, change back to your country.

What's that "walmart" logo on you screen instead of SR logo? Did you put it? lol

Lol yeah don't trust clearnet much so if anyone find out that image they will assume it's a Walmart online drug store xD

It worked somehow idk will continue to update this thread if the problem presists

Nice link thanks :)
And I doubt it was because of that because I saw the categories showing up many times on the main page and once in a while it didn't, if it was because of that setting I would never see it.
