I'm still having this issue, this is quite an annoyance.  Can
someone tell me who to contact for this?  Feel free to send me an
email at johnnymarler at gmail.com

I'm looking to talk to whoever manages the dlang servers.  This
problem occurs on forum.dlang.org and wiki.dlang.org, it does not
happen when connecting to dlang.org

Thanks.
