Title: FreeBMD down?
Post by: Nick_Ips on Saturday 05 August 23 12:04 BST (UK)

Anyone else having problems with FreeBMD today?  The search screen is loading, but has a 'grey' overlay and none of the controls do anything.

It looks as though they are doing maintenance, or there's a pop-up that needs to be clicked, but nothing is displaying to that effect.

Thanks

There's a new "we are a registered charity and need your support" pop-up window - if you have blocked pop-ups you'd only get the greyed out main site I guess.

Thanks to both of you.  It looks like that is the issue, but I've whitelisted FreeBMD and pop-ups are allowed.

Trying using Chrome there's a suggestion on the pop-up that cookies might need clearing to view the further information - which I've already done in Firefox - but that doesn't seem to help either.

I think I'll use Chrome and give it a few days to sort itself out.
