Tor browser error with Shroomery

When I try to visit Shroomery, it gives this sometimes whenever I click on a Shroomery related link.

Anyone have a solution?
It's really annoying. I will click on my thread link, and all of a sudden this blank screen with a URL on the tab name will show up.
I then have to exit out of TOR and start it back up in order to return to the Shroomery.

Ythan took counter-measures against Tor, proxies, and some VPNs to prevent people making puppet accounts via those resources, so that may have something to do with it. Alternately, the Tor hub you are connecting through during those moments may be overloaded.

That is just for registering new accounts though.

See what happens if you load shroomery through tor using Google Chrome.

How to do that? I just click Start Tor Browser and it pulls up the firefox version.

Is tor running on your system? Is it listening to a local tcp port? If so, configure Chrome to use that port as a proxy by going to Settings -> Advanced -> Proxy -> LAN Settings and set the SOCKS proxy to be the TOR port.

Oh yeah, duh. The bad part is I feel like you told me that before (or I at least read it somewhere before), and it still completely skipped my brain.
To simplify what Alan said above, here's a tutorial. You'll note that it's some what altered versus what Alan said, you may have to try both as some users report that they don't have success setting TOR up as a SOCKS proxy. Alternately, if you plan on using Chrome without TOR for some things, you can create your own TOR button of sorts, and it's pretty simple.

The browser that is used by the tor browser bundle is set for max security by disabling scripts and flash, its not very friendly with some websites.
I use tor when i need to by using the normal firefox browser and using foxy proxy. its not as secure but it plays nicer with most websites.
its easy to configure a browser to use tor.
127.0.0.1 i is the proxy address and 9050 is the port. Make sure its set as socks proxy.
in firefox foxy proxy allows you to easily switch between using a proxy and not, gives you a little icon that you can right click and select which proxy to use.
in chrome you will need to go into settings and into network to set proxys

I have that same problem but don't know how to solve it.
