screen changing on opensubtitles.org

Mon Dec 14, 2020 6:37 pm

Since two days, when I log in on opensubtitles, the screen changes and I come on website about movies belonging to opensubtitles it says. But I can't go to opensubtitles site to look for new subtitles or download them. I use a VPN from the Netherlands.

Can you provide pictures or links and what you did to get to that picture? So we can see what you get.
In the mean time also try another browser to see if that works.
Some people were struggling on Chrome because of JavaS being disabled.

Yes, my friend, I asked if you could tell us what you click to get to that link? I use ABP on FireFox, so I have no advertisements as an admin.

Further down the subtitle page there are links, are you clicking something that leads to that movie page?
Have you tried a different browser/VPN address and checked the results?

well I set my vpn location in Germany and everything works fine now. And no I was not clicking on anything. It was so weird just since yesterday I couldn't come on the site anymore; every time I was redirected to that other page and wasn't able anymore to come on the opensubtitles.org site.
What is ABP?

ABP is AdBlockPlus.
That server you were using was blocked for possibly spamming reasons or failing a cloudflare check.
At least it’s resolved now.
Was an IP address issue.
