Cannot connect to BBS

Hi! I've been having a lot of fun writing code in Pico-8, it's a great program!

Splore isn't working for me, though. Every tab besides the one for local installations only gives me the option for "update", and when I select that it tells me it "could not connect to BBS". I'm running on Windows 10 and am almost certain it's not a firewall problem.

If anyone could help me out, it'd be greatly appreciated :)

Hi
Are you able to view the following in a browser? http://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/cpost_lister3.php?cat=7&sub=2
You might want to also try it again while in a window (alt+enter) in case any relevant notifications were hidden in fullscreen.

I can view the link in browser, but even when running in windowed mode there are no notifications. I even turned off my firewall just to be sure, and still couldn't connect to BBS.

Hrmm.. in that case I'm a little stumped. Does it looks like there are any partially downloaded files in C:/Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/pico-8/ ?
Or is it possible that that folder is read-only?
