AARoads Forum

It just worked for me right now.

I've been looking in off and on to AARoads all day today, no disruptions.

Weird.  I just tried it on my Linux machine and it was fine, but my desktop running Windows 7 still gets the 403 error.

^ Clear your cache, maybe?  It's been working fine for me for several days.

I think there was a mention about only current browsers being supported, which sounds like it could be an issue with Windows 7.

It's not the cache, but probably the browser.  I'm on Firefox Extended Support Release for Windows 7.  I probably should have realized that in the first place.

W7 isn't the reason w/ ESR Firefox.  I can get into the forums.  However, they just don't work right for some odd reason for the theme.

I know it shouldn't be like that, as the SMF website itself is working fine and it's running the same version as it.  Just not sure why yet.

Weird thing is this:
https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php = WORKS
https://www.aaroads.com/forum/ = 403

I'll have to talk to Alex about this.  Sounds like something he did in the backend of the site that I can't adjust.

Override just aaroads when you try to load into it with any FF user agent, and you should be able to get the forums working correctly again.

I'm working with Alex to try to figure out why it's otherwise messing up without overriding the user-agent.

Didn't he say something about blocking old OSes due to the bots?  It sounds familiar for some reason.

Not that I can recall, but who knows.
