Today, the 18th of March, 2019, Norton Anti-virus package started flagging Storiesonline as a malicious site with phishing problem.
Of course, it’s a false positive. The page that Norton is reporting as malicious doesn’t request any info, so there is no possibility of phishing; how does their system flag something as possible fishing when there is no form on the page to input anything?!
I’ve submitted a request for reevaluation and hopefully they rectify their mistake quickly enough.

Well on to the next interruption… I’ll try the 1.1.1. solution but there is no connecting to stories online as of a comcast.net, service offline and repair. Something has set it off and won’t recognize SOL.
since yesterday I can only rarely get into stories online; most of the time I get a message saying that the program is unavailable. What’s up? (I am a premium member.)

Ivan,
The site was under attack. Somebody was trying to take down the site.
prob some foolish religious nut who can’t handle that some people are not as stuck up as they are.
