Yesterday, I was trying to access the Huffington Post main page and kept getting a 404 message. No such server. Today, was trying to return to the "Latest Threads" tab on DU and I kept getting the message that there was no such location. These issues each lasted for several minutes. It's never happened before, in my experience.
It's possible that hackers are penetrating secure sites. I suggest that readers be wary of any anomalies and post them when appropriate.

(101,698 posts)Was everything running slowly (web pages loading slowly) when that happened? I am convinced there is a lot of "throttling" going on after FCC voted against net neutrality and that can surely cause a 404 error.

I was on DU most of the day and had no difficulties at all.
Any time you have an issue like that, try going to isitdownrightnow.com. Type in the URL. It will tell you whether it's down or if the problem is local to you.
