I looked through conversations from the past few days, and did not see that this was addressed. When I try to load asm.transitdocs.com, I get a blank page. The tab has the icon and name of the site, but absolutely no content. I'm on a PC with Firefox, so I checked my iPad with Safari, and got the same result. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks for any insights!

We are taking the Coast Starlight from Chemult to Paso Robles and back Dec 4-9, so if this is a long-term outage I need to figure out an alternative that I can access from my Android phone.
 
So weird - the map now loads on Safari on iPad (wouldn't earlier), Chrome on Android phone, and MS Edge on my laptop. I did not try the latter two earlier. I will be taking the iPad and phone on the train.

But it still won't load in firefox on the laptop, even after removing the cookies. Anyone else using firefox?

Works for me on Firefox.

Works on Firefox on my Windows 11 laptop, but lately I always get a green box telling me to reload the page for an update. Reloading makes the green box go away, but everything else looks the same.

Do you have automatic updates turned on for Firefox? It's near the bottom of the Settings/General page.

Huh. Firefox just this morning told me the update had been downloaded, and it needed a restart.
Guess what, the map works now!

(latest version on Win 11)
 
I've also had weird misbehavior when Windows wants a reboot. Sometimes it autoinstalls O/S patches and says it needs to be rebooted to complete the installation. Sometimes it autoinstalls patches but does NOT say it needs to be rebooted. I've seen strange things (like applications freezing, running very slowly or just not working right) in both these situations (including apps that don't use the drivers or O/S features involved in the patch!) have this sort of problem and usually the problem is solved by rebooting. This just happened earlier this week to a coworker where their VPN (or some other network feature) stopped working after some apparently unrelated patch, and rebooting their PC fixed it. Whenever I experience strange problems, especially with something that had been working fine for months or years, I check to see if there have been any recent patches or if it is wanting to reboot for patches, and if so, rebooting is the first thing I try.

Software is supposed to use clearly defined interfaces and dependencies, which is one of the central tenets of software engineering, but Windows especially ignores this a lot.
