Important note from Basil

Greetings,
I recently had a few complaints from members telling me that they could not access the site at all (browser would time out). I did some research and, without going into the details, there was a certain thread that had just the right word or combination of words in the title, such that, when members would try to access that thread it would cause a security rule violation on my server (basically my server thought someone was trying to hack it). Once I changed one word in the title, the problem went away.

IMPORTANT: If you ever do something on the site, like try to access a certain thread, or ty to edit a thread, etc., and you get a pop up error that says something like "Oops Something Went Wrong" or "Forbidden, You don't have access" or anything like that - PLEASE don't keep doing whatever you did to get that error (after 4 or 5 of those errors the server will automatically put your IP address in the firewall and you won't be able to even access the site.

If you ever see such an error, stop doing whatever caused the error and send me a PM with the details.

Cheers, Basil
