Error Message / Access Forbidden

[DeborahT]

I've been unable to get on the forums for at least a week (I think). When I go to the main page and click on forum, I get an error message that says I am forbidden from accessing the page.  I found this roundabout way and just got in now - I googled "why is Noel Tyl forum down?" and some old posts came up from 2013.  I was allowed to see the pages of the posts. I went backwards on the menu bar and was able to log in. Then I could read posts. What is going on? Waterbird is getting the same message and cannot get in to read the forum. I'm going to stay logged in now, close this page, and then see if I can get to the forum page from the main menu.   I hope this message is clear enough. Thanks.

I closed all the windows, went to my favorites bar, clicked on the Tyl website. I then clicked on the forum page and was allowed right in with no error message. So the error message and inability to get on only occurs when I am logged out and try to get in as a guest. Of course, the catch is that if I want to log in, I can't get to the log-in page unless I use the roundabout way described in my above post.  Anybody know what the heck is going on?

I haven't been able to get on until just now too. I took it personally.

Sorry Folks

We have been having problems with spammers ... again so our hosts have been working in the background trying to sort the problem .

It looks like we are now back to normal.

Sorry for the frustration.
