Access to this forum

[dlockesf]

Hello,

I have been unable to access this forum through my regular wi--fi for about three days. First I got "403" and now it just times out. I can access through my phone cellular data and other wifi networks.

My IP address for wifi is
2601:648:8103:9d2:7d27:c4c4:cbcf:6280

Can someone fix this?

There have been a couple of occasions in the past few days when the forum site is unresponsive. I, too, have had the occasional problem of being unable to post a message on the forum—receiving a "403 Forbidden" response—and on other occasions the site just times out.

I don't think it's necessarily related to a fixed-point connection or WiFi. Perhaps the server has been under an unusually high load? Who's to say what might be the cause? The main thing is that people, such as you, are able to post messages on the forum.

There are, of course, genuine reasons why people receive "403 Forbidden" errors. For example, if the post contains a text string that might be interpreted as a way to "hack the site". For example, if you tried to post <*IFRAME> (without the asterisk), that would produce a 403 error.

On the other hand—this might be a stretch—you could attempt to flush the DNS cache. In MS Windows this is done by running the command

Code: Select all

ipconfig /flushdns

No guarantee that this will make things any better, though. Something to keep your hands occupied, perhaps?

I can access through other wifi connections and via cellular. I think it's associated with my IP address.

See my updated, edited message (about flushing the DNS cache).

I also saw some 403 errors when i was reply with google chrome. With mozilla i did n t see any error. With quick reply also i did n t see any error

I think that is better to report this in mods. Maybe this issue is related with server, or cdn, or... i don t know

I also made this post viewtopic.php?f=7&t=952876 and i hope to see it a moderator and check this issue

I posted on this topic on Monday. There was some discussion and now I can't find the topic on the board any more.

I can't access this forum with my normal wi-fi. I've tried three different computers, one of which has never been on the forum or Joomla, and also my cell phone. I can access via cellular data,by taking my computer to another wi-fi network, or by turning on my VPN while using my normal wi-fi. That tells me my IP is blocked.

The IP address is
2601:648:8103:9d2:7d27:c4c4:cbcf:6280

Can a forum wizard unblock this please?

We are looking into your problem. We've had some issues with IP addresses that automatically got blocked.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
