Unable to access the forum

[UKV]

I'm now on the only computer in the house that I can access the forum - every other one including works computers don't show the forum - just comes up with page not found and I've tried - IE , Firefox and Safari - Really don't know why I can't get on here on other computers?


*edit

Just spoke to Van and the only thing that she says that might be a reason is that the maybe there's something on the site that's causing the firewall's on the other computers to reject it?

Van says the 2 computers that are on all the time are always updated. This one I'm using is Van's work laptop and isn't really updated a lot.

what are you useing xp? with ie8? and silverlight installed

[UKV]

Xp with firefox on this one at the mo. ;-) The others are the same. ;-) Not running IE 8 on any of the computers as it's full of bugs and causes running issues. Firefox updates continually as does safari. ;-)

[UKV]

Van says that Silverlight is on the desktop - but it still don't show the site.

No, all fine.

[nads1978]

If I get a chance tomorrow I'll try it on my Linux install, off a USB stick. I have no updates or plugins on that whatsoever.

[Petbeemer]

No, all fine.Ha ha so what have you got that UKV hasn't?rolf

[UKV]

Struck up another laptop (one I couldn't get on the site with) to see if we can get on. ;-)

[nads1978]

Any of these?

[nads1978]

Or these?

[Petbeemer]

Struck up another laptop (one I couldn't get on the site with) to see if we can get on. ;-)ive just tried my laptop with linux and firefox on, works fine;)

[UKV]

Van's having a look now. :)

Done my 'ed in with not getting on here all week. lol

[UKV]

Van's changed the other laptop's firewall from Zone alarm to Sunbelt and the antivirus from AVG to Avast and the sites showing up. :D

So the firewall and antivirus is blocking the site as we suspected. ;)

But thinking about it - would that restrict people viewing the site?

It would but thats a personal preference to have firewall and antivirus, my firewall is in the router and i dont use antivirus, im just carefull

[nads1978]

Mark, did you check if you had the same plugins as me? - in earlier post.

[UKV]

Yep same plugins matey. ;-) the only difference is the firewall and antivirus - Van's had a play around with the desktop and now I can access the forum from that one as well. :-)

Don't know what you mean Pete? :confused:

[Petbeemer]

coppa is a security thing that asks you to insert a code when you do certain things?
