I have not seen any Error pages for a few days now.

EDIT:
I just switched my browser from DuckDuckGo back to Google and immediately got the Too Many Request page.
I will switch it back to DDG and monitor what happens.

This is new, and frustrating. An encuberance to doing technical research here. I used search and was toggling through the results then was kicked off the site.

I spoke with Justin today and newenglandj is still unable to login to AK. I submitted this inquiry via 'contact us' last Sunday but figured I would try this thread.
 
In case anyone missed my earlier post, I was locked out for over 3 months. It took a complete wipe and reload of the OS to gain functionality. Most folks are not up to date, including me, to the point I couldn't just update my OS because it was so out-of-date (took a total reload). Best part is it helped me with some other particular sites functionality and gave me NEW security features and additional inclusions (i.e. weekly update notifications, helping with speeds by temp disabling of background tabs).
 
I normally participate in AK at work.

I do occasionally log in from home.

A few visits ago, I forgot may password.

After 3 attempts, my IP address was banned.

Should I assume a PM to a mod can have that lifted?

Not a mod, but an Admin should be able to do that. I reported your post so someone can take a look at it.

Did you since remember your password being as you're online to post this or was this from a device that is always logged in?

Being as you are able to be online to post, you could also try resetting your password from that device.

Yes, an admin, though a moderator would elevate the issue.

@YY1 none of your IPs are banned at the AK forum software level. Did you get a message that your IP was banned and, if so, which one, so we can check at the server level? You can send a private message on that info.

Meanwhile, you could also try logging in with a VPN that would present a different IP.

Yes. PW is fine.

At home, no matter what address I go to related to AK, I get a "denied" message.

Even the root "audiokarma.org" address.

I'll note my IP this evening and produce it here tomorrow.

Did you get a response on this?

When you sent in the inquiry, did you provide info such as device used, operating system, browsers tried, etc.?

OK, have you cleared all cache, cookies, saved AK bookmarks, etc. and then tried again?

Have you tried different browsers, ones not used before?

No response yet. I will ask Justin for those details.

I'm using a new computer now, which apparently has solved the issue. It's nice to be back on AK, this is the first time I've been able to view the site in at least two weeks.

My other laptop is a first generation Macbook Air, so I think that was the problem, I couldn't use a recent enough OS & up to date browser.

As I've said multiple times in an attempt to help those still having issues, a simple reload (or update(s)) of the OS will fix the issue, hardware though nice to have faster stuff, has nothing to do with the issue. Welcome back NewEngland! I saved all my pertinent information (downloads, pics, etc.) to a storage drive and completed the OS wipe and reload then returned the files back to the machine.

Just recently experienced one of those.

What didn't work:
  1. Logging out and back in.
  2. Clearing browser cache and history
What did work:

Flush DNS​
​
How to do that?

  1. On Windows, press the Windows key + R. This brings up the Run dialog box,
  2. Next to "Open" in the entry area type cmd, this brings up a Command Window
  3. Type on the line C:\Users\(your name)>ipconfig /flushdns

Interesting. Guess this error doesn't only correspond to chatroom use, as I've been discussing in this thread. Hopefully something can be done about this before too long, as the chat function is still all but useless. :(

With regards to the Forbidden issue, I'm experiencing it in a rather odd way. I don't get the Forbidden error accessing AK when using Safari 14.1.2 (last updated in ~2021), but on the very same computer (2017 Macbook Air running Mac OS 10.14.6 Mojave), Firefox 115.36.0esr (as mentioned above, still (sporadically) updated) does trigger it. Hopefully this problem can be solved soon as well.

While there's still work in the background to fully resolve this, you might try this for Chat:
  1. Close the chatroom window completely and wait 5–10 minutes before re-entering
  2. Turn off any VPN if you're using one — VPN IPs are more likely to get flagged
  3. Try a different browser or clear the browser cache/cookies and bookmarks for audiokarma.org
  4. Try the pinned/inline chatroom view rather than the floating window.
