Resolved Can't login or even access BirdForum with Chrome. (1 Viewer)

[Alexis Powell]

I got here with FireFox, which I rarely use these days. When I try to access with Chrome, I either get an access denied message like this:

Forbidden​

You don't have permission to access this resource.




Or, I get a timeout message as follows:

Error 522​

I have no problem accessing using chrome.

I also have no problem with Chrome. Did you try another browser?

Hi Alexis

I’ve just logged in on my mobile phone with Chrome - for the first time since ‘migration day’. I found no issues - in fact, I was amazed how quick and smooth it was. Everything is loading very quickly indeed. The interface is particularly good compared to trying to navigate before on a mobile. However I appreciate, you are on a LT or DT rather than using Chrome on a mobile.

I have though also accessed the site on my laptop using my Chrome Browser this afternoon although I didn’t log in. It’s working great with Safari too.

So I wonder if it’s a regional connection issue with the BF server rather than a browser problem? The cloudfare error message seems to point to that (though I’m almost completely ignorant of how these things work! ) so it’s something perhaps only Ollie can help with.

I have also done it on both my iPad and laptop using Chrome. No problems with either. You might try emptying your cache and see if that helps. Don’t know but it might?

Also delete any cookies associated with birdforum.net (if your browser allows them to persist).

I think I've resolved this – please try again and see if you get the same issue.

You don’t get a Cloudfare error report like that with cache problems or with browser issues akaik - The only time I’ve ever got Cloudfare error issues if the host site I’m trying to connect to isn’t recognising/completing my server connections. Some people use a VPN - I don’t know whether that might make a difference?


EDIT - I see I cross posted with Ollie

It's working (as well as it can with the new design) for me now.
