The Forum is often dead

Post by yerzmyey »

Hi,
I got very often some weird screen trying to get to the Forum.
I didn't know where to report it, so I put the info here.
Greetz,

The site can be slow at times and once or twice this year it's been unresponsive but I don't see anything wierd - Do you get a 404 or something other??

I just thought I would chip in and say I don't recall ever having significant problems accessing this forum since I found it in May 2011.

I generally access it between 06:00 and 22:00 GMT/BST, sometimes later on weekends from a variety of fixed and mobile devices.

I do use ZBblock to cut down on the spammers trying to access the forum - that works by banning certain ranges of known problem IP addresses and gives a 404 error, so it may well be that one of the IP addresses you are using is blocked for some reason....

I think this is caused by ZBblock. :roll:

I think you come from Poland, maybe he can unblock this "sector". :mrgreen:

I don't think that spam before (T-Shirts ...) came from Poland. But not sure. :lol:

There is no "Poland" on Rubber Planet.




Rich: as You can see, I enter the forum from one computer (but at work) and I can't enter here from another one (main - at home).
Can You make some resonable rules in the used script?
Thanks.

Basically, I need to know the IP address from where you cannot access the forum.

I will not turn off ZBBlock, as I was getting 20 odd spammers registering on the site every day !!
