the site might be being blocked or there might be some kind of hick-up somewhere. you live in india, right?
* sporkium moves this to 'site issues'
this seems like a more logical place.

let's try a quick dns server test...
click on the apple logo (upper left hand corner), and select
'system preferences.'
once preferences window shows up, select
'network.'
-if you have a system password set up, click on the lock at authenticate access... if not, don't.
in the
'DNS servers' box, enter:
8.8.8.8 and then select apply now.
in firefox or safari, attempt to access the site directly:
https://www.rantcentralforums.com
post your results.

it reverted? for the location, is it set for 'automatic?'
if so, create a new location and name it 'google dns.'
then just enter "8.8.8.8" and see if that sticks.
from a logical stand point, if you can access the site from a proxy, but not directly, the issue is probably not on your end, but somewhere in between.

hmmm... is it giving you any type of message? and... the little lock in the corner... is it in the locked mode or unlocked mode?

hmmm.... i'm assuming that 'nr' means no route...
try rebooting you mac... if that does not work... sounds like more like a 'mark' or 'hz' problem to me...
