Accessing posts
« on: June 05, 2023, 07:40:51 AM »
I am having a problem logging on to parts of the site. Sometimes when I try to log on I get a notice "Forbidden, you do not have permission to access this site". When I do get in if I view Andrew's piece on his JCB I find that all the pictures are just shown as icons and when I click on to them I am just offered the chance to save them to my computer. This does not occur on other postings. I thought that I might log out and then log in again to see if this would resolve the problem. When I clicked on "log out" guess what? I was told that it was forbidden! Somebody please help.

Yes it seems that it's endemic - it's happening to me. So far a few re-trys and I get through !

I came across this on one occasion (a week ago ) getting the forbidden message I typed it in manually and got in there’s been no problems yet after that.

I thought all was well until I clicked on this posting and I got the "Forbidden" notice again, went back and then tried again and I got into it.

It's odd that having been blocked, an 'F5' refresh will eventually get you to the page, but it can take several F5's

Its not a real block. It is a default response to apache freaking out. Or at least, that is how I understand it

It's nice to know that it wasn't just ME the server was picking on.
