EXTRA POINTWhen I first went to the Dartmouth athletics page today I got this message using the Safari browser:
Error 15dartmouthsports.com2026-08-18 12:14:32 UTCWhat happened?This request was blocked by our security service
I've been visiting that page every day for the past, oh, 20-plus years, and never saw that before. If I did something to mess things up, I don't know what it was. If I did something to fix things up, I don't know what it is. All I know is it's working again.
