I've been trying to post updates into the GRN Site Listing forum but I receive the "403 Forbidden" and "Access to this resource on the server is denied!" error.

I've managed only a few lines but unable to post further content.
Is anyone else able to post in below forum or experiencing the same issue.

Yes, I am logged into via https.

Not at all Andrew - the thanks should all go to you for your dedicated hard work and relentless contributions over the past decade!

Many people don’t fully understand the hundreds, if not thousands of hours that you have put into the GRN thread in particular. Editing all the phpBB BBcode is quite tedious work, and it all appears to have been done by hand.

The least we can do is try to provide a fully functional website with no bugs!

There two outstanding issues now:-

1) HTTP 403 error in the GRN thread. This is a known issue with Apache’s security module. It can bit fiddly to troubleshoot but I am working with the hosting provider to get it fixed.


2) Some of you may be seeing emails from the board marked as spam. This is due to a misconfiguration from when the board was originally setup with a gmail account. I will look at this one tomorrow if I get time.

Hi all,

The email settings have been modified to prevent emails coming from the board going into your spam. The leaves the permissions issue as the only outstanding one. We will let everyone know once this is sorted out.

Cheers,
Matt

Hi all,

The GRN thread error has now been fixed. Everything should be working as per normal now, so we can return to the massive task of sorting all the info out and updating the thread.

Cheers
Matt

According to my email folder this was working up until the end of June, but since the start of this month (July) it's reverted back to the old http: prefix for some reason?

And this morning it's fixed again!

Now getting board emails with https: prefixes again (or at least the one I received this morning was).
