I know typedrawers was having trouble with SSL cert acceptance, which was plaguing folks in some countries or regions. But now it has hit me as well.

Anybody else having NEW inability to access typedrawers.com, where they could prior to some time in the last couple of weeks?

@tphinney I can’t figure it out. Along with Vanilla upping my fee $200 this year and randomly changing CSS, I’m getting pretty annoyed with the whole endeavor.

@JTDType @tphinney That sounds frustrating indeed. I wonder what options exist for porting the forum to another backend (something open source?). and perhaps moving to a new host?

@tphinney @JTDType I have not had any trouble at all connecting to TypeDrawers. I think the issues are ISP-specific, i.e. some ISPs are choosing to block TypeDrawers due to security concerns around Vanilla.

@tphinney now it works for me (in Barcelona) but it was off for weeks.
