At home this morning on my Ubuntu/Gutsy machine I got when I attempt to open the forum site:
Prefetching is not allowed due to the various privacy issues that arise
Then at work this morning on my Windows XP / IE based machine I got a HTTP403 Forbidden Error "The Website declined to show this webpage".
Are they having website problems this morning ???
Thanks.

They're fine over here :confused:
You may have prefetching enabled in your home browser, which would explain the first error.
And the forums just don't like Windows ;)

I was getting that message yesterday and thought it was a firefox issue, even posted a thread here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5223051#post5223051). But today it hasn't happened yet...

I have NEVER had either of these problems before. And if Prefetch (whatever that is) is enabled on my Firefox then it must have enabled itself because I don't even know what it is or how to either enabled or disable it !!!
Thanks.

I did see the same error this morning about 45 mins ago but have not had any issues since.

Strange...I said I had no issues, I clearly spoke too soon...I just got the prefetching error. Works fine now though :)

Me thinks they are having at least some minor communications issues this morning. When I just went to do a search of my previous posts, it came up with an error message, basically saying that it could not find anything. But, I KNOW I have previous posts and threads.
Is this communications problem something that needs to be reported to them or is it something that they will catch on their own ?
Thanks.

I get database errors every now again since we have moved to the new version of the forum, but it usually clears up in a few minutes.

I have e-mailed the web-administrator to inquiry about the problems.
