Login problems since august

[xerces8]

Since at least 29th of august I have problems logging in to the forum and trac. On the forum I get this error right after submitting the username and password:
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /ucp.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

And on trac I get: Environment not found

I get the same at home or at work, using different browsers (FF, Opera, Chrome, IE, even links).

I am writing this over SSH to my parents router using elinks. They have a different ISP.

Has anyone any idea what is going on?

Regards,
David

Your IP is probably banned or on a blacklist.

[xerces8]

Can you confirm that?
I'll send the IP numbers tomorrow (or on monday).
I'm writing from holiday.

My current home IP address is x3.(x+1)3.187.9.
My work IP address is u.z.48.48 (IIRC, I'll send the correct number tomorrow).
I also tried to access the forum via Tor, but I got the same error as usully, even after many tries. Is Tor blocked somehow?

I got a new IP address from my ISP and now I can access the site.

As the old address is mine since months, can you please unban it? Why was it banned at all? In a world of dynamically assigned IP address's such bans just hurt the innocent, as spammers and others just redial to get a different IP.
As for my work address, hundreds of employees access the internet from it, maybe one of them was naughty...


Anyway, can at least the message "You don't have permission to access /ucp.php on this server." be replaced with something more informative, please?

Thanks,
David

We use http://www.dnsbl.info/dnsbl-list.php

I checked on that web page my work IP address and also my home IP address. They both come out all green icons ("Not Listed").
I also checked my parents IP and a random IP I got using Tor.
They are also all green, but only my parents IP allows me to log in.
There must be some other reason.

I (and probaly others, who are silent as they can not login) am stil having this problem.
I rechecked my IP address and again it is not on any of those lists (which are for SMTP spam anyway....).

[xerces8]

Back again!

There is another list consulted by the forum server: http://dnsbl.tornevall.org/

Click on "Test your ip" (first item in the menu) to see if they list your IP address.

Your issue could be caused by the weird anti-spam module of this forum: Forbidden access to forums under Opera 9.64
