Website doesn't work from desktop? by Dark_Ansem at 2:08 PM EDT on July 22, 2021
I'm writing this from my mobile sorry.
From my desktop, the website has suddenly become completely unusable. I can't login, I can't go to other pages when looking for bgm Download, and I can't even login in the forum. Could anyone help?
Is there a way to test with Bitdefender disabled? I wonder if they're injecting something and it's failing because I have all JavaScript disallowed. I'm not about to install it to find out myself.
Nothing has changed on this end, and the only weird thing I've heard about your client is Bitdefender, so that's where I'd look for debugging.
Admittedly I don't understand enough about the "unresponsiveness" you're encountering, could just be network issues.
The Let's Encrypt HTTPS certificate automatically updated July 11, but if Bitdefender was having trouble with new Let's Encrypt certs you'd be having a lot wider trouble.
> I can also say that I updated Java recently, could that be the issue?
I don't think so, unless Bitdefender happens to run on Java?
This is what clicking on the login link in the forum prompts:
Unchecked runtime.lastError: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist. forum.php:1 Error handling response: TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'yt' of 'undefined' as it is undefined. at chrome-extension://cmedhionkhpnakcndndgjdbohmhepckk/scripts/contentscript.js:535:6 26Refused to load the font '<URL>' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "default-src 'none'". Note that 'font-src' was not explicitly set, so 'default-src' is used as a fallback.
forum.php:1 Refused to load the stylesheet 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Montserrat:wght@600&family=Roboto:wght@400;500;700&display=swap' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "style-src 'self'". Note that 'style-src-elem' was not explicitly set, so 'style-src' is used as a fallback.
On the vgm.hc64.com no error appears, but no action is performed whenever I click on any button except "forum" "contribute" or "hcs" which do lead to the corresponding page.
cmedhionkhpnakcndndgjdbohmhepckk is something called "AdBlock for YouTube", I don't know why it's trying to inject itself onto this page. Try disabling that extension?
As for the stylesheet, that's also being injected from somewhere.
I don't know if these would prevent the page from loading, maybe? Or maybe another one of your extensions? Try in an incognito window, though I don't know if that will disable all extensions.
I don't know what the deal is with vgm.hcs64.com, I don't run that, but it may be something similar.
Did you try disabling extensions? Or incognito mode?
I overlooked these two errors earlier, you browser is doing something really weird:
> Unchecked runtime.lastError: Could not establish connection. Receiving end does not exist.
No idea where this comes from.
> forum.php:1 Error handling response: TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'yt' of 'undefined' as it is undefined.
It looks like something in your browser is sending a YouTube cookie to the forum somehow, that's the only "yt" I can think of, which causes the forum script to crash (somehow) and return junk to this extension (which again shouldn't be messing with the forum at all).
edit: on second thought that TypeError is a JavaScript error, this is a failure in the extension, expecting a yt cookie.
I uninstalled the extension but also tried a different browser, Edge, and the issue is still there, so it's likely a system issue rather than a browser issue.
Thanks for following up, sorry about your desktop issues.

Well now it works again. Not sure if it's relevant, but it was trying to log into google drive, and then I revoked it!

The problem was likely bitdefender. I had the same issue of pretty much not being able to anything on these sites. Only when I disabled its protection was I able to do something as simple as search. There must've been a recent update that fixed the issue, since it was causing problems on other sites as well.
