No kidding! Thanks a million, Ornette.

[Joseki]

Thanks for the fix!

[Kendrix]

a typo was introduced in an htaccess file, I added back the missing "*".

Ah, so it was you who did the thing!

[child of Lilith]

Thank you, Ornette.

[Zusuchan]

Thanks, Ornette!

Ornette, you're an absolute wizard. All hail.

I don't know if it's only me, and if it's is because of some things I said, but sometime on computer, and not on mobile (android) there is the error 1020 access denied with my adress IP showed to me, along with others stuff.

Like, I can surf the forum just fine, and one minute later poof! Acess error.

So, I wondered why? Is there a problem with my IP adresse? Do I have some virus? Do you sometime purposely "block me"? I'm sorry for the passive agressive tone of this post.

Do others users encounter this problem or it's just me? How can it be resolved? Thank you in advance, and sorry if it's the wrong topic to complain about.

You're not being (deliberately) blocked. In any case, I think a block gives the reason rather than an error (but maybe not for an IP block??).

It could be that you are behind cgNAT (that's when your ISP uses NAT internally, as well as the NAT in your router). This would cause your final IP address to change without your knowledge, and if one of the addresses it switches to is one which has been blocked (e.g. for spamming), then this erratic behaviour could result.

It might help to see a screenshot of the exact error, though.

Pwhodges, since it would be too risky to put a screenshot here for everyone to see my adress IP, I rather prefer send it to you in PM, in the measure of possible.

[pwhodges]

Sure. Does the IP match what your router says your IP is?

[Ornette]

Did you get a Ray ID in the error message?

[Line]

I dunno. The problem is, the screen error appear after a certain time of scrolling the forum. Some time 5 min after I scroll, other 20 min, after. It can pop up at any time it choose to. But, I'm kind of lazy to scroll down the forum lately, because no recents topics don't hold my interest, and I don't have the willingness to scroll it forever just for this awful screen to pop up

I promise nothing, but whenever this screen will pop up I will screenshot it and send it to you (Pwhodges.) withing no delay if something don't come up in my head in between

Tweets don't display for me (just the "display body" example with a date link), I don't think it's an ad block issue because even mobile acts up that way.

[pwhodges]

I thought that until I waited ten or more seconds, and then they popped up.

[Blockio]

It happens to me on occasion; sometimes they load after a while, sometimes still not there an hour later. Same with refreshing, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

[Sailor Star Dust]

Refreshing in my experience sadly doesn't seem to fix it, either. I personally can deal with it by just clicking the "date" link to take me to the discussed Tweet, but it's a mild annoyance.

The browser is blocking the "Forum Rules", "EvaWiki", "News", "Members" and "Staff" links in the menu. This is because the browser "accusing" that the site wants to open a pop-up.

There are two ways to get around this:

• Right-click, and choose the "open link in a new tab" option in the context menu;
• Or, configure the browser to allow pop-ups for this site.

It is nothing serious, just a small inconvenience.

[Shamsiel-kun]

In some browsers, you can configure them to open pop-ups in new tabs instead of showing the pop-up.

What are you talking about? It looks fine to me. Maybe it's only broken on certain devices.
