Lloyd,
Which member is having problems?  I need his/her post name.  There seems to be several members having log on problems right now.

Failure only comes when you stop trying.

Ken,
Here is the info he gave me:

I'm not hard to find - post under G.Hansen and I use Comcast as an ISP and Moxzilla Firefox as a browser.  I can't access ALR, no way-no how.

That's interesting, I was having trouble all day yesterday as well. I kept getting  "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Thought maybe I had done something terrible.  ::) Glad to hear that I was not the only one. Everything seems fine now.

There is something strange going on for sure. There seems to be some robotic IP address blocking going on. Could be the next round of spammers up to no good.

Happened to me also, and with a Mac.  Same messages, and then it let me in for no reason, after a day.  I was starting to get the shakes without my ALR fix.  At least I had the CLA site, and the Blog.  ;D ;D

I had the same problem -- 403 forbidden message -- starting Sunday.  I contacted Dennis Glazener and it has been resolved.  (Thankfully!)

It appears, at least in my case, to be a combination of events.  In an effort to prevent access to ALR by spammers, a range of IP address prefixes were blocked.  I contacted Verizon FIOS (my internet provider) and in addition to providing me with my router's current IP address, they explained that my router will cycle through a variety of IP addresses on a random schedule.

So, some combination of my then-current IP address prefix and the IP address prefixes being blocked resulted in my access being blocked.

My suggestion is to contact Dennis Glazener with your IP address.

Lloyd, 
Thanks for getting the message out for me. 
Apparently, the problem resolved itself as I was able to gain access late in the evening, the day I e-mail you.
At any rate, the IP address information is handy to have.
My thanks to all involved.  ;D

Several guys mailed me as well - yet I had no difficulty. They are 'in' now, I expect.

I was unable to log in for a while and they figured it out.  Because of recent spamming events, some IP address ranges got blocked tempoararily, if I understand it correctly, and some of our regular members got blocked.  Sort of shutting the gate when the fort is attacked and some "friendlies" got left outside!  Should be good now as they kilt the bad guys and opened the front gate again.
