Title: Error 403
Post by Skyler Mills on Sep 28^th, 2017 at 7:31pm

I just posted on the forum a few days ago. I hate to say "ever since", but honestly ever since, I can no longer access the forums when connected to my home router. If I connect to my hot spot device and can get in no problem.
Has my IP been blocked or restricted somehow?
Any ideas on how to correct this?

Thanks in advance.... Skyler.

Skyler,

Looks like one of the IPs you use got blocked by the forums security guardian bot.

You should be good now....

Let me know.

We have had to bump the security level a bit as we get attacked hundreds of times each day and sometimes it makes a mistake. To avoid tripping this in the future, be sure to log out at work before you log in at home.

Tom,

It appears to be fixed. Thanks for the help with that and the tips on how to avoid that. Makes sense now

:)
