One of my team mates is having trouble getting on to FT at the moment. Every time he tries, he gets the following error message:
-------------------
"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

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

He's tried it on his PC & laptop, using different browsers, routers & lines but still no luck. He CAN log on using his smart phone so he's sure it's not a problem with his FT account. He's no mug when it comes to computer issues but this has him stumped.
Any ideas please?

It's probably because his IP address is in a range which has been barred because of someone else in that range doing naughty things. If you post a message in the Feedback section outlining the problem and saying which member it is then Terry will see it and look into it. smile

I did write a message to the admin, explaining the problem. I also sent the error message when it was passed on to me, so hopefully I will get some feedback from that. I'll copy your reply & send that to admin to see if that makes sure that the problem is sent to the right person, ie Terry. Thanks for your reply, it's appreciated. smile
