Wordreference?

Question

I haven't been able to access that site in like 3 months with any browser. Can anyone?

Try this link:

Habia VS hubo muerto

Does it work? not for me.

Gracias.

Hmm. I wonder what is wrong with the link? - jeezzle, Dec 31, 2011

Works for me =) - NikkiLR, Dec 31, 2011

Answer 1

Nothing wrong with the link.

Must be an error between the computer and the chair.

edit: What browser are you using? Do you use any addons? etc

EDIT:

Have you tried to go to WR through google?

Most usual computer component failure. Voting. :-) - Gekkosan, Dec 31, 2011

Chair seems to be working though........ - jeezzle, Dec 31, 2011

That is fascinating. I can connect to any site except wordreference, with any browser. No browser connects to wordreference and that link does NOT resolve. It's like I've been banned but I don't post there, I just lurk so it doesn't make sense.

Jeezle- check your "hosts" file. It's used in Linux as well as Windows systems. Somehow there might be a redirect there that prevents you from accessing the site. You can block any site by adding the correct line in this file.

Google it, or see below-

I checked it, seems OK. - jeezzle, Dec 31, 2011

Still doesn't work though. - jeezzle, Dec 31, 2011

Answer 3

Here's some excerpts in case you still can't get in:

Debes usar: había muerto

El pretérito anterior (hubo muerto) prácticamente no se usa más en castellano, excepto en contexto muy formal o literario. Se lo reemplaza generalmente por el infinitivo, el pluscuamperfecto o por el pretérito indefinido.

Una vez que hubo dicho eso se puso a llorar. Tras haber dicho eso se puso a llorar. Después que dijo eso se puso a llorar. Había dicho eso y se puso a llorar.

Después que hubo comido se retiró a descansar. Tras haber comido se retiró a descansar. Comió y se retiró a descansar.

And after following a couple of links this page was suggested that you might also find useful [APRENDER EL PRETÉRITO ANTERIOR DE LOS VERBOS ESPAÑOLES MODO INDICATIVO][1]

By the way it works fine for me on Safari :) - Kiwi-Girl, Dec 31, 2011

Cool, so it's habia all the way and usually habia with the past anyway. I thought so but I wondered why. I wonder if they banned a series of addresses and mine was in that list by accident. I think that's what happened. - jeezzle, Dec 31, 2011

Answer 4

I go to WordRef all the time. Just google WordReference.com and you can't miss it. First fork on the left.

I used to go all the time too there. - jeezzle, Dec 31, 2011

Answer 5

I just used it today. I do find some problems here. I have to switch between firefox and google a lot.

Answer 6

Jeezle, the link you originally posted and the URL of the page are wildly different. See if you can access the WordReference page by pasting this URL into your address bar:
"http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1301348".
It may be that you somehow have been trying to access with a faulty URL/Link.

Answer 7

Well I don't know about your computer, but it works just fine on mine!

I'm using Internet Explorer 8 on a PC. Could be IE 9.

What browser are you using?

Firefox, Opera, and Chrome do not connect. - jeezzle, Dec 31, 2011

Answer 8

Well none of the links that involve the forum will resolve, not even "http://forum.wordreference.com/". nothing will, except the front page. I thought everybody knew the site was down but I guess it is only down for me. How strange.

So can anybody tell me what it says about "Hubo VS Había" when using muerto/a.?

Gracias

I do run Linux and not windows though, could that be a factor? I don't see how it could.

I doubt it. I use Mac, and I tested with bith Firefox and Safari - no problems. It must be a conspiracy just to keep you out. ;-) - Gekkosan, Dec 31, 2011
