Access to Forum (General)

An issue I have raised before is still causing a problem on the revised site :

I can get access to the forum on my PC, I can get access on my iPad, I can even get access on my iPod Touch, but I cannot get access on my iPhone.

A Cookie Poilicy dialogue comes up with a simple "Accept" or "Decline"

No matter how many times I tap "Accept" it will not move on and therefore not allow access to the site. Either using (Apple) Safari, or Google directly it makes no difference.

I have tried asking the question of Cookie Acceptance in Google and there is a suggestion to go to settings then Safari and tick the box "Accept Cookies from Web Sites I visit" I have checked this on my phone and that statement is ticked. I have even tried ticking temporarily "Always Allow" but it makes no difference.

Any suggestions

Yesterday I couldn't get on here kept telling Me 404 Error Access Denied To This Server, Permission Denied. Boy was I thinking all sorts of things. If it wasn't for this site, I would never of had contract with living family back here.
So glad to be back on here

I had the same problem, also from New Zealand. Just assumed the server was down, but maybe NZ was down. Quite possible with our banana monarchy... Glad to see we (or you?) are back!

Hi

I also had difficulty accessing the website from Spain but what was more worrying was when I tried to access the site I received a screen berating the Israeli people and their policies. Obviously the site was hacked. I just hope there was no malicious software attached to it.
Any explanations Admin?.

We regret to say the site was hacked and we were left with no choice but to take the server offline to allow investigation and to ensure no damage has been done. The site was brought back online last night and we hope inconvenience to users has only been minimal. As for the team the timing could not have been worse and it could be said that we were hacked off!
