Cannot access the forum using Safari

I've been contributing to this forum for some time.  Recently I have been unable to access the forum using Safari.  I get the message "Forbidden - You don't have permission to access url".

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening and how to resolve it?

Kind Regards,

Bill

    It’s a bug with Cloudflare CDN, details supplied to VM. Apple has probably tightened up security in their latest OS releases and there has been a ‘hole’ in the VM system that has now been uncovered.  There are no problems, that I can discover, the Apple releases worldwide and if there was I’m sure we would have discovered it by now. iOS, iPadOS and MacOS all have the ‘problem’.

    It has been reported on the VIP forum. Looks like a bug with iPadOS 18.5, as those still on older versions are not having issue.

      Thanks, interesting.  I'm using a Mac but it is good to know that it's nothing I have done.
