wired.com [blank white page]

Unread post by impetus_maximus » 2019-01-15, 03:28

i've been trying to register at wired.com since last week.
using Pale Moon™ 28.2.2 64-bit, Win7

with JavaScript enabled i get a blank white page with wired.com
if i disable JavaScript for wired.com the pages load.

trying to register, upon hitting 'REGISTER' i get sent to a new tab.
https://www.wired.com/account/register/

new tab says...
"Page Not Found
Whoops, that page is missing!
If you clicked a link that led you to this page, please let us know so we can fix our mistake as soon as possible."


emailed wiredlabs last week but have not gotten a response.

anyone have a clue what is wrong here?
thanks /max

I've never seen so much third party JavaScript in my life.

And I bet they have the audacity to request you "turn off your ad-blocker". :roll:

No issue here (& irrespective of JavaScript).
Restart in Safe Mode & test.

If Safe Mode works then it's one of your extensions that causes the issue -- if you have blockers in use, you probably have to closely examine what is being blocked on that page.

that's the weird thing. i disabled uBlock on the site, enabled javascript, cookies were enabled.
even tried enabled 3rd party cookies. :think:

for now i'll just use that site in a portable copy of Pale Moon.

cheers
