Hi,

FWIW I've tried without Tor Browser and without VPN on Linux and with
Tor Browser on Linux. RiseupVPN on Linux doesn't work [1], so I tried
Orbot VPN on iPadOS, but it makes no difference how I'm connected, the
Discourse link doesn't work.

Regards,
Ralf

Ralf!!!

Thanks for making that effort . . . I would say that is a timesaver
for me . . . .

Aaron:

If Thomas Ward is still around he had me check some data in the
browser, that I had to open somehow from the bottom of the FF browser
window and then email him the data . . . which I did, several years
ago, and several times . . . .  I would have to search through the
ancient history of my emails to see if I could find what he was
looking for.

Aaron, "We must be moving on" is a phrase from a famous rock tune . .
. meaning, there must be movement for the feeling of Life.
Please let me work on the problem a bit more . . . mea culpa.
