569798 2007-07-17 13:17:00 Just recently came back from my 2 weeks holiday from New Plymouth

I tried to visit Scambuster.co.nz

But I get this error

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


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


It was working fine 2 weeks ago.What's causing this problem?Anyone out there know?

Thanks

569799 2007-07-17 13:20:00 I tried to visit Scambuster.co.nz...I assume you mean scambusters.co.nz.

The error is caused by a misconfiguration on the server, it's not a problem on your end. My guess is they tried to do something fancy with a .htaccess file and screwed up. Just wait, I'm sure they'll fix it before too much longer as that site is rather popular.

Edit: Another possibility is they managed to piss off their webhost and got their account slammed. Noting what is published on that site, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Trademe had a quiet word to their hosting provider.

569800 2007-07-17 13:22:00 I can’t even access www.scambuster.co.nz, it looks like the site must be having servers issues. stu161204 (123)
569801 2007-07-17 13:26:00 I can’t even access www.scambuster.co.nz, it looks like the site must be having servers issues.You're missing an 's' - the correct address is www.scambusters.co.nz. Erayd (23)
569802 2007-07-17 14:16:00 The sites there now, and very interesting reading.
I was aware of the Romanian scams on trade-me, but didnt realize the scope and the numbers of these scams that have been/continue to be carried out.
Even more interesting is Trade me's semingly "head in the sand" reaction to it.
...and with Fairfax owning trade me, seems like quite a relevent subject for PressF1! :)
