Problem with the Trivia section of TechSpot

[GABulldog]

When trying to access the trivia part of the website, always comes up with "unexpected error, try again later" Been happening the past few weeks now. Just thought would bring it to your attention

Hey, thanks for bringing this up. We haven’t received any similar reports before, and I just tested the section on multiple devices and browsers without cookies—it seems to be working fine. Could this issue be related to a firewall or a browser security setting?

Could you try accessing it in a fresh browser window (without extensions or custom settings) and let us know if it works?

I've been getting the same error for a while now. Hopefully, they fix it soon, missing my trivia fix!

Two people is no coincidence. Same questions as above. Can you share some system details or setup to help narrow things down?

Also. This only happens in the trivia section right?

@GABulldog @spottedme can you try as incognito and see if that works?

Yes, only happens when trying to look at the Trivia section. It seems like it happens only on Opera on my computer. I tried Edge and it works fine. I didn't use Chrome because I don't have it installed on my computer. When I tried Opera on my phone which is a Samsung S22, it works just fine. It started happening when Techspot posted the last trivia question which I think was right before Christmas.

I use the Opera browser
Windows 11
Windows Defender
Ryzen 7 3600 X
Nvidia GTX 1650
16 gigs DDR4

Please try incognito and let us know.

Please try incognito and let us know.

It does work in incognito mode on the computer.

That's weird though since I don't do incognito on the phone and access the Trivia just fine

Could be cookie storage related but still something we must fix on our end @adonisfigueroa
