What's up w/Texas Hot Boats site?

[DelawareDave]

Tried to join, got email confirmation, and link to activate, no problem. Message says admin must allow you to join. OK. Been a number of days, and no response. Sent email, and got automated response to that too. Seems that 9 times out of 10, I can't even view the site, and get booted with "forbidden" to view page. Sometimes when I get thru the page looks messed up, til I reload, then looks normal.
Is forum code written for something other than IE?

I just went back to the site, and am able to access the member list. There are people who registered after I did that are able to post, but I am inactive still. Maybe cause I ain't from Texas? :rolleyes:

Sounds more like a problem on your end. I'll try to contact Cookieman and let him know, just in case you aren't getting through. I'm on there a bunch.

[sdba069]

Something you might try, as I had a similar problem on this site once, delete cookies and temp internet files, then try it.

[DelawareDave]

I have same issue on 2 different computers, one at home, and one at "work".

I dunno, the site was acting funny for me yesterday & I know they have been changing some stuff, but there's other people there not from Texas LOL. I know one of the guys thats an admin over there, I'll give him a heads up about it. :rollside:

[DelawareDave]

I just had to throw in the "Texas" part, lol. But my oldest daughter lives in Texas! That should get my foot in the door, shouldn't it? :p

[Red Horse]

Hang in there. It is a GREAT site!! :cool:

the problem is we were gettin spammed to death by casino spam and porn links lately. cookieman is being selective because he was havin a hard time figuring out who is legit and so forth. be patient and he'll fix ya up i'm sure.email cookieman and let him know who you are, he'll speed things along.

[cookieman]

Delaware Dave sorry for the error. We had you oked but forgot to check the active member box on the admin area.We have had a problem with spammers and had to restrict memberships. See if you it works for you know.

[DelawareDave]

Thanks, cookieman. I sent you a PM on THB with a couple of screenshots, so you can see what I see there. I will try tomorrow at "work" and see if I can log in from over there. The forum loads up ok, but then it acts like a script runs, then it gives me a "forbidden error 403", and says something about the credentials I have supplied.

[sdba069]

Good job, Bill..... I was just about to email you about this.

[DelawareDave]

This is beginning to get annoying! I can't access the site without getting kicked out. I am logged in, and everytime I got to the forums, I get the page loaded up, then it switches to another screen saying "Forbidden to view with the credentials you have supplied. HTTP error 403". Or it says "you do not have permission to view: www.texas***boats/forums/index.php".
I have tried this on 3 different computers, and it's the same on every one. :mad:

[DelawareDave]

I have a sneaking suspicion there is a DNS issue. If I type in http://64.250.235.134, it takes me directly to ***boat.com. That is the IP in my log. If I type in http://67.43.6.34, it should take me to Texas***boats.com. But it doesn't. It takes me to a site which has a screen saying:
"Great Success !
Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server
If you can see this page, then the people who manage this server have installed cPanel and WebHost Manager (WHM) which use the Apache Web server software and the Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) successfully. They now have to add content to this directory and replace this placeholder page, or else point the server at their real content.
ATTENTION!
If you are seeing this page instead of the site you expected, please contact the administrator of the site involved. (Try sending an email to <webmaster@domain>.) Although this site is running cPanel, WebHost Manager, and Apache software it almost certainly has no other connection to cPanel Inc. or the Apache Group. Please do not send mail about this site or its contents to cPanel Inc. or the Apache Group.

This is what I get instead of the IP resolving to Texas***boats. I have been unable to discover the cause of this issue. I have tried from different IP's as well, with the same result. I have disabled AV to see if that was the issue, but to no avail.
HELP!!!!!

[taylormanss]

all I type is texas***boats.com and have never had a problem,hopefully you will get it figuired out it is a really great site.

[HTRDLNCN]

no issues here either...
Could it be a firewall,IP-hider or security software issues?
Something you have loaded on all your computers?

[Badboat1]

No Prob here

[Greg_Moss]
