Hello,

I have the same issue with version 1380.

Are there any new ideas how to solve this?

Yes off course you can solve it by finding where's started
 

Not sure of this will help anyone. I struggled with this issued for days and could not find a solutions. Here is what I found and did and it worked:

1. Somehow the MT4 installation from a few brokers add entries in windows Hosts file.

2. These entries cause the Mql5 website and its component getting redirected to the local computer itself.

3. You will notice that you are not able to open https://www.mql5.com website in your browser if the hosts file has been tampered with.

4. Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc on your computer

5. Find hosts file.

6. Open it in notepad or something

7. Look for entries which have something like MQL4 or MQL5

8. If entries are there, make a copy of the hosts file for back up.

9. Now in the original hosts file, remove all rows where you see mql4 or mql5.

10. Save the hosts file.

11. Open browser and see if the https://www.mql5.com website opens properly.

12. If it does, you have resolved the issue. Congratulations!

13. Now restart MT4 and MT5 and login to community tab

14. The issue should be resolved there too.

Hopefully this will save 100s of hours of people looking for solution to this issue.

Enjoy!
