Started getting the 403 error message a lot the last 12 hours

[jaynewcastle]

Not happening every time I view a thread or a sub-forum, but happening  a lot last evening & now again this morning (in the UK)

Anybody else getting it ?

 

On a desktop PC

Yes, but no idea what's causing it

The issues for BMs in the U.K. keep reoccurring. It started happening to me again yesterday as well. It’s very difficult to pin down. As I said last time, if I use a VPN and choose a non-U.K. IP then the problem goes away. If I switch of the VPN the problem comes back. This doesn’t work for everyone but is worth trying.

Otherwise, the problem seems to go away by itself - after anything from a day to a week.

Up and down more often than a pair of knickers on Soi 6.

Still happening this evening. 

As long as the forum mods/techs are aware of it, nothing else users can do for now, but keep trying to access when the error occurs

and still happening on & off yesterday & this morning 

 

Hopefully the problem will be resolved soon

[whitespider - RIP]

We know what the problem is

Unfortunately the tech guys dont work weekends.

It will likely fix itself in the meantime but will be sorted on Monday although it will be late as they are in the USA

For anyone remotely interested - this is the issue

Its a problem with the CDN Caching and an issue with a CDN node in the UK

It is NOT a hosting issue OR a software issue but I have been given a fix for it which we have tested on the Philippines forum and, so far, seems to work.

Thats good news, great work

Apologies  for dragging this one up again

 

Having the same issue when using mobile data connection on Vodafone in the UK.

 

When I get home and connect to wifi,the issue goes away.
