Anyone having trouble accessing this site?

[MACKTEXAS]

I tried many times to get into Senior Forums this afternoon, and could not. Below is a copy of what I got. I finally restarted my computer and shut off WIFI modem, then was able to get in. Is anyone else having this trouble?

Yes, I had this ten minutes ago or so. The main page must have had an issue, because I was able to go directly to threads I was being alerted to.

Yes, I had some trouble of that sort. I wasn't making the attempt through much of the day, but couldn't get on via the "What's New" tab at several times during the day.

Thanks. I couldn't do anything. I even tried my VPN, and it connected through another state; still couldn't get logged in.

Maybe it's fixed now. Thank you.

I have problems when VPN is on; none when it is off.

Won't let me see anything unless I'm signed on

Likely a server hiccup.

It's been working okay since I started this question. I'm signing off for the night. Thanks everyone.

I have the same issue several times today. It was hit
and miss trying to log in. "Oops! We ran into some problems".

I got a "forbidden " screen.

I was getting the "forbidden access" thing about an hour ago. One of those "is it down" sites told me that it's not just me and is down for everyone. At the moment it's up again and hoping it stays that way.

This morning I did, I just figured that @Matrix was doing some maintenance on it.

 

[Pinky]

No problems so far.

Had similar issue so i tried to login on my iPad and it worked

This was caused by DDoS attack (too many spam visits).

I got a "forbidden " screen.

I was trying different solutions to block the spam visits.

Those who access the forum from old devices may still get this error.

You are doing a magnificent job, as always, and we all appreciate it.

I do remember seeing that same message MACK, but thought it was a connection issue with my wi-fi or VPN. I believe I went and did something else thinking if it was a wi-fi issue, it would correct itself. That's happened a few times lately. I have Verizon Fios.
