I can't read blogs

Whenever I try to read one of the chess.com blogs, after I click on the link I get an error saying, "404 not found, the requested URL is not found on this server." Does anybody know why this is happening, or a way to fix it?

Can you give an example of which blog this happens on ?

Avatar of mattattack99

Any of them

Which browser are you using ?

hmmm, when you go onto a page that shows this again, can you take a screenshot of it please, including the url in the address bar.

I'm not sure yet why you're seeing this, i'm still investigating it.

To take a screenshot, (if you don't know how), use the PRINT SCREEN (or PRT SCRN) key will capture a screenshot onto your clipboard.

Open the Paint application (click on Start in the bottom left of your screen, then All Programs -> Accessories -> Paint).

Copy (hold down CONTROL and press 'C' at the same time) the snapshot from the clip board; paste (hold down CONTROL and press 'V' at the same time) it into the Paint document, and save it (File -> Save ...).

You can either email it to me as an attachment,  kohai@chess.com

or post it on here.

Are you using a proxy server? If not, is blogs.chess.com resolving to the correct location? I would also like to see the results of the following command on your computer:

tracert blogs.chess.com

Don't do it, dude!; He can use that information to find your machine ID and hack you!

i suggest running malwarebytes and spybot, both free programs. weird stuff starts happening with malware on board.

Very unhelpful of you, oinquarki. He's unlikely to have a public IP address for his computer. Tracert won't reveal it in any case.
