Friend not able to access the forum
« on: January 30, 2013, 03:59:03 PM »
A friend of mine who I have pointed over here is apparently getting blocked from accessing the forum.  The error message they are getting is

Forbidden

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

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
And their details are:

I probably banned that range of IP addresses due to spam problems, but I'll have to look into it some more. I'll let you know what I find.

I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth.
I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.

Yes, I had banned that range of IPs. I'm not sure exactly when or why, but most likely because I was getting spam.

I've removed the ban, your friend should be able to join now.
