403 Forbidden Error - Forum Problem

[KTK10]

HI, I have been trying to access the sims 4 stories today and I keep getting the following message when I try to click on anything:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php/board,12.0.html on this server.

I can't seem to do anything other than open a new topic and read my personal messages  I have tried clearing my web cache and shutting down the pc etc.. If anyone can help me, please pm me as I am not able to click on anything to see replies.

Thank you all so much in advance.

Also, at the moment I am getting the dreaded Forbidden 403 error - denied access to anything on this site. I managed go through my history to be able to click on this reply - but I'm not sure if I will be able to read anyone else's stories or post any more on this one until it gets resolved.. sorry!! I am still able to read Personal Messages - but nothing else.. sorry!

Hi KTK10,

I'm not sure why you're getting this error. But did some searching and did find something that may help.

In that link it does mention to message the forum/website owner. This would be Carl. You can email him at: [email protected] to see if he can help.

All should be well now! Unfortunately, your IP used to belong to a spammer, but obviously those change and it was a false positive. I'm working to eliminate false positives, but very sorry for the inconvenience!!

Thank you MrsFlynn for bringing this to my attention.

Very happy to help. You definitely made me feel better about causing the issue, although I suppose we can all blame the bots
