The World Of Playing Cards website

Unread post by Honeybee »

I think just about everybody knows this wonderful website

https://www.wopc.co.uk/

Lately I cannot access their articles. I can do a search but when I click on any of the results the following is all I see
Is anybody else having a problem. I have contacted them (at least I hope it sent) but I am yet to hear back from them

Everything good here. Searching produced results and articles opened. Did you resolve the problem?

Still no luck on Chrome but tried Edge and it is fine there
Also tried my phone and it is fine there (I hate touchscreens but should have done this earlier)
It must be something on my desktop - will have to put superstar son onto it
Sorry for bothering everyone

Uh oh. I wasn't aware of this site. And it's already got me going down a rabbit hole that will surely end up being very expensive.

I created an account last year on WOPC to maybe contribute with some articles, but for a few weeks now I just can't log in anymore. It sounds strange, but the "Log in" area just does not exist anymore for me. I tried on Chrome, Edge and Firefox but also on my phone. It just disappeared without a trace.
Even when I go to the members list and click on "Add New Article" below the "Become a Member"-Area I just get redirected to the homepage.

I also reached out to Adam Wintle when I created the account to be able contributing on their site but didn't receive an answer till this day. Few days after the eMail to Adam I decided to just contribute a small article and send it in for review. The site showed me that review is pending, but I never received any feedback nor is the article published.

Does anyone know something about this problem or maybe has a solution suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

I also had an account. I appear to be logged out and unable to log back in - no login box. I'm getting the same loop as you. Hadn't noticed until your post. I also can't find comments I left, and don't see a comment section under each article. I don't have Adam Wintle's email address but I have a few others. I'll reach out and get back.

We have to wait for them to wake up.
