Site or Internet problems
« on: December 18, 2013, 08:19:14 PM »
Is anyone else having problems with this site?

In the last couple of days I have been able to read the site at work but not post, even the spellcheck fails.

Tonight on my desk top computer, IE 11, I just get a screen full of words but on my netbook, IE 10, everything is normal.

Is it me?
Best regards

Roger

I'm seeing the same thing. The front page is a bunch of PHP

I've been having all kinds of issues....a long seemingly random word string that fills the page...but only if I log in at my desk top...If I do a google search I can get in.

Seems like a server configuration issue to me. http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php works, http://www.modelenginemaker.com shows raw PHP.

All

Our hosting provider has added additional security features to the web server, and in some cases this is "breaking" the forum software.

Can someone with IE11 please check if the "gobbledygook" is gone now ?

I'm looking into things as I can, but at the moment I'm at work and have to pay more attention to that duties.

Kind regards, Arnold

Aha, http://www.modelenginemaker.com is good now after I cleared my cache (Safari 7 on Mac).

Thanks Arnold!

Thanks Lady & Gents

Anybody that still have problems, please post up here - and if possible, include what browser and version you're using.
If for some reason you can't post on the forum, send an email to

That should get to all the admins so we can have a look at things.

 :facepalm2: Apologies for the psychedelic image; it was quick 'n dirty, but I didn't just want to plonk the email address on here in plain text, because of  :censored: Spammers

Kind regards, Arnold

Thanks Gents - it's a pleasure.

There are still a few things to sort out - if anybody gets any "403 - Forbidden" errors, could you please post what you were trying to do when it happened in this thread?
That will help in diagnosing and rectifying issues.
