Off Topic Forbidden

[TRMark]

When I click on thread "Alternator Failure Update" it goes to "Forbidden" What is that about.

You mean this?
[h=1]Forbidden[/h] You don't have permission to access /bcf/showthread.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Basically nothing you can do about it. Higher up the food chain needs to get involved, methinks.

Still "forbidden" for me at 12:38 EDT.

Ditto 1127 PDT.
On top of that, I can't access BCF at all from home. I'm guessing the problem is Basils server, and my home ISP blocked it.

I'd bet MicroSoft had something to do with it.

Forbidden to me too.

I got in through the posted link, but not directly. So....maybe part of the issue...but every time the word "alternator" shows up in any post, it is on a yellow background with blue letters? Sort of like advertising sites hyperlinks...but it's not. And in quotes it doesn't...and if you copy a post and paste it, the highlight is not there. So does the word failure. Did the original poster set those highlights, and that's what's triggering the forbidden page?
