« on: November 20, 2022, 03:22:52 PM »
At the chihuahua-puzzle.com version of the site I'm getting the following message today when I try to access the forum:

403
Forbidden
Access to this resource on the server is denied!

At chi.lexigsame.com I have no problem accessing the forum – obviously, since I'm here  :)

Anyone else having this problem?

I just tried it, and I was forbidden too (on an iPhone, if that makes any difference).

I've just tried it on a Windows PC and got the same message... here's the link for others to try: https://chihuahua-puzzle.com

I can replicate this problem too, although it seems to be intermittent. Often when an IT problem starts occurring "out of the blue", it's actually because of some change made by the IT staff. In this case there's only one IT staff member, and I did recently change some things.

People were having similar problems three years ago, after I relocated the forum from the chihuahua-puzzle.com server to lexigame.com. It seems I found a solution then, but I don't recall what it was. Hopefully I'll work it out before long.

In the meantime, you should always be able to get to the forum by clicking on the Forum menu button at the very top of the page.

Documentation is a wonderful thing... At least, so I found when I was working in IT...

...and I was the guy who put the SH into IT!!!  >:D >:D >:D

UPDATE:
I may have corrected the problem. If it's still happening, try refreshing the chihuahua-puzzle.com page.

All good now, but a good tip on accessing the forum if things go wonky!
