Click2Win issue.

Hi all,

I was just wondering, is anyone else here having an issue accessing the click2win websites (i.e. http://winit.vikingfm.co.uk)

When I try to visit them, all I see is the word 'Forbidden'.

Thanks.

    I've had no probs with these. I entered them earlier, and just clicked on the link you posted and it's fine for me. I'm using Chrome. Have you tried copy and pasting the link? Sometimes that works for me when a clicky isn't working.

    Yeah, I have tried a whole bunch of stuff, including that. I emailed them earlier, and reported the issue. I guess I have to wait for a reply.

    Thanks for confirming that it is working for you.

    No I tried the link but I don't do them. Just tried the link again in chrome and Edge and still working, entered one in chrome so it would "cookie" the e-mail address, closed the page went back, e-mail was retained as it should be but still no problems.

    Yeah, I tried it in a proxy, and it worked. It seems like my ip has been blocked on their servers. I will have to wait for them to respond to find out why.
