OK, I think at long last we have found the issue that has been bugging the forum for the past 6 months.

When accessing the site from outside the UK or on some 3G networks, the site would block you.

This was due to your ip address you were using appearing on the spam list - SPAMHAUS

We have now lifted this list checking plus if you do get blocked, you will be directed to a new page that requests you email us your access info. Hopefully you will never see it but if you do, can you please take the time to fill it in as there may be other rules we have to lift.

HTTP Error 403: The service you requested is restricted


However, my phone is messing about at the moment so I'll switch it off and on again and see if that makes any difference.

Dan you were caching probably. Give it a good test and let me know if you have any more issues.

Hum, someone tried to hack the server last night due to us lifting the security. We might have to put it back on again. Ill let you know if we do.

We are looking into an alternative so we might have to put it back on till we work it out.
