Problem reading forum

[JRR]

Is anyone else having problems reading the forum ?

75% (or more) of the time when I click on a posting, I am told I am forbidden to go there. Hitting the refresh key triwce usually brings the posting on screen, although some of the buttons are missing (REPLY, REPORT, TOP etc etc)

I haven't had any problems with others sites on the Internet

Here is the message I get:

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forums/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache/1.3.39 Server at picturestoexe.com Port 80"

after we talked i had a thought - my avg 8.0 is set to scan every page so it does take a bit longer for page to open

or

is it only this forum

maybe try Barry's or Dom's and see if they are the same

Hi Ken

I checked The Dom's forum, plus two other forums I am a member of and no problem.

Not sure they use the same forum software though

As I say, everything else seems to be normal

I have rebooted twice just in case...

I am on Firefox 2.0.0.14

I've sent request to Invision's support.

Maybe should not say anything, but fingers crossed, but as of 4pm everything seems to be back to normal.

Something happened somewhere between 1pm and 4pm....

Thanks

Jim,

I have got a reply from Invision:

Hello,

Over the weekend there was a large Denial of Service attack on the server. We had to tighten down the server firewall to keep it online. This is likely the cause of the issues. We have now adjusted the server firewall. Please let us know if he continues to receive errors.

Thank you,

[JRR]

Igor:

Thanks for your help.

Not sure why I seemed to be the only with the problem, but thanks for pointing out the problem to Invision
