Everything was fine last night. This morning the falfiles opens to just a blank white screen on Win 10 with Firefox and on my phone (Android). I went to Chrome on my laptop and it opened fine there.

I can copy the address of a different files page (not the home screen) into Firefox and it will navigate from there. Clicking my bookmark to just https://www.falfiles.com/ in Firefox and on my phone however, or clicking the FAL files logo on the top left of all pages, both just go to a blank white screen.

WTF?????

Same here. I can access forums directly but not the home page. Took me until this morning to figure that out.
ETA: I'm using chrome.

All of you guys get up far to early.
Sleep late,,,,,when ya get up,,,,everything is just fine. ;)
Some of us are thankful to see another sunrise each morning. ;)

I received the same blank screen on my Chrome and Chrome was just stopped it its tracks and I didn't see any attempt to access the FAL Files. I just crosses my fingers the Sysop was doing some maintenance and it was not another hack.

I had that problem yesterday morning. I could access the files at 5:30 but by 6 o’clock it was a white screen. By 9 o’clock I could access it again.... This was all on my phone.

Same here with the blank screens on my iPhone SE. I can manage to open up the individual forums if I pull up that menu but I can’t open but a blank home screen or forum screen. But if this is the worst problem I have so far today then I’m OK with that because I got my cuppa coffee just the right flavor and, just the right color too.

I can access this site through history but can't navigate to any other threads.

WTF is going on?

Another hack job?
I imagine it's something as pedestrian as the server cycling early each morning and somehow the software takes a bit to get everything back up and running again
