I use IE9 without any issue to access this website. This is on Windows 7 64 bits.
strange, because that is what I use. so I guess it must be due to an extension. I use roboform with IE9, to handle log-ins. maybe you are blocking that. guessing here as "spam relay" is not something I know a lot about.
I can access the main videolan & download pages ok with IE9 - it is jsut the forum that I am locked out of
EDIT UPDATE - it is NOT caused by extensions _ i ran IE9 in safe mode ( -= no add-ons) & still got 403 forbidden. I also opened a ticket with roboform But I expect them to say " not their problem"
I have other PCs -so will try from those soon as they have vista & win 7 32 bit respectively. meanwhile any other troubleshooting suggestions please. I see no point in searching blacklists because my access via google chrome is OK,.
could it be to do with county of origin + browser type, I am in UK, I am guessing you are not.
PS I also have running malwarebytes pro which is real-time filtering for malicious web sites, but the impact of that should be browser independent ?
