My tablet and this site

[wfgodot]

Hey, lately I've been having issues with the site when I try to get on with my tablet.

Never did have a problem before, maybe it started around the same time as board consolidations.  I waited a few days to see if it would resolve itself, but it hasn't.  And now I'm just getting a "forbidden" message when I try to get on.

When I actually could get on from the tablet, I saw basically just a white screen with a list of links to everything on the site.  There's no structure at all, just a list of links.

I can view the site fine on my desktop.  I don't think the tablet uses a mobile version or anything, in every site I've ever been to on it, it's seemed just like the normal version.

Is there anything I can do about it?

Thank you for letting us know you're having issues viewing the forum. I have emailed @Carl to let him know of the problem.

@wfgodot It could be one of two things or both. It will help if you try to access the guide index with the tablet in order to ensure it's in today's log,  then go and google ' what is my ip?'  and pm me the result. This will make sure I get your current mobile ip and can debug it. We are inundated with thousands of bots lately or it wouldn't be so hard to find real people affected by security,  nor would I need it

I should be able to fix it this evening. Once I get you unblocked,  if you still see the page with 0 styling (just text/links) the tablet has cached the page that way,  as I fixed that particular problem. My friend's site is hosted here and he couldn't see I fixed it until he cleared cache on his iPhone.

Thank you, Carl.  Like I said, never had a problem before but I really miss reading stories in bed at night!  Gosh!  I had a feeling it was the tablet because nobody else has mentioned a problem, so I will try to google how to clear the cache on this thing, and if that doesn't help I'll PM you the info.

You might be able to use Ccleaner as a cache cleaner for your browser history.

If anyone else has this problem or gets 403 forbidden at all, please do what I said above and PM me your IP, and I'll get on it.

Looks like over 99% are fine right now
