Problems to connect to the discourse forum from UofM

That’s odd… so, probably not network problem. Are they using the same browser? What is the error message? Can they reach the landing page, but then get a login error? Can they open discourse.org or some of the other hosted customers? (see list here: http://www.discourse.org/customers)

I guess it is possible the domain is blocked, but usually they would get a specific notice about that.
