• An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
  • Our mod selection process has completed. Please welcome our new moderators.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
  • The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

On PC, getting stuck on the 'Page could not be loaded' stub, then after some time the site loads fine. At the exact same time, using exact same net access, I'm getting in fine on the phone.
- Other sites work fine
- JavaScript is permitted for QQ
- Clearing cache and cookies makes no difference
- Changing and flushing DNS makes no difference
- Rebooting just network adapter or the whole PC makes no difference
- Persists in Chrome, Edge and Firefox, including fresh installs
- I can ping and tracert forum.questionablequesting.com without an issue, but the site won't load

Thoughts on what else to check to figure out the cause?

You could also try doing a verbose curl, too.

At the same time it works fine on all your other devices including stuff connected to the same network?

Well, on my one other device connected to the same router via wi-fi, yes.

That is weird, try the curl, but this sounds more like a Windows problem or fsr less likely some sort of WAF temporarily throttling you because it does not like something about requests coming from thet specific machine, dunno.
It is fsr fetched but have you checked any anti-NSFW software like the various AVs or firewalls that might prevent naughty material.
Also did you check your speeds with okta.
 
try both forum.questionablequesting.com and questionablequesting.com on the non-working device. If one or the other works, just use that.
