I'm getting these screens. Firefox, Chrome and Edge are giving the same symptoms. I have to turn on a VPN and set it to Japan, the Netherlands or the US to view the Hubpages site.
Eugene, I have VPN set on my computer (U.S.). Oftentimes I have to turn it off in order to access certain websites. I have it turned on now as a test to see if I could respond to your post.
The benefits of VPN is so your IP address is not seen by the sites you visit, which is a plus on one hand, but a detriment on the other. I notice when I have VPN turned on I don't get Google ads on every page I visit based on my searches.
Having VPN enabled is a security feature to keep your computer safe(r) from hackers.
The general HP site does not appear to have an SSL in place, which makes the site open to hackers. Having VPN enabled on your device is a protection factor. You can always turn it off when accessing HP if you so desire.
The site is now accessible without a VPN turned on, so something must have been fixed.
I presumed it would likely be a temporary situation. They work on the site a lot, it seems. I'm still waiting for the “fix” that will improve views.

I have a hub that currently gets an amount of Google views per day I'm not allowed to specify, but which is certainly much more than most of my hubs that have already been moved were getting on Hubpages proper. Unfortunately, I think that there may not be a place for it on a HubPages network site...

I can't access it on Google either. When I try to sign in with what I thought was my email address, it says I already have another account. But when I tried signing in with other accounts, it had the same message. I don't remember what email address I signed up with. On my earnings page it says...

I've spent hours today tracking down a blogger on WordPress who has numerous blogs and stole one of my best hubs. This impacts my traffic and, thus, my earnings capacity. It happens so frequently (and to so many other hubbers) that it is not only time-consuming and frustrating, but makes me and...

Just wondering. So much ill will abounds in the forum, largely related to a couple of the sub forums. That aside, what would improve your hubpages experience? And no one can say 'shut down the forum' because we'd lose a principle platform for helping each other in many ways - not least the...

Are ad settings totally controlled by HubPages or do the settings in my Adsense account have a bearing on what will be displayed? If so, is it a good idea to select categories relevant to a niche site?
