Hello

I am getting this when I try to open any of the topics at the top of page except the one labeled forum. I have tried disabling all addons. I did a search on the subject but never found a fix. I am running IE8.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

A DOS (Den Of Svc) attack means users can't get thru to the site - specifically because it is being deliberately bombarded by excessive visitors.
Since the above topics/links are on/under this site, it seems like you have some IE8 or security bug - maybe your virus checker?
Is there a "help" with the alert message?
I'm running firefox (with NoScript), zonealarm & avast! and I'm accessing fine.

I am working on a computer at the moment, I have tried to access the page from that computer several times with no luck.  Tried different browsers and no luck.  I thought the site was down, so I came to my puter and it appears to be working fine from my unit.  I never did get that message, but the page will not load from the strange computer.

UPDATE:  From the strange computer I can not access the forums, I can access other parts of the site.

Has the cause been diagnosed? I just checked now and everything seems fine now. Maybe I am checking this now when the problem is fixed. Just curious to know what the cause/solution was.

Nothing has changed or been changed on our end in quite some time and I've yet to experience any of these issues on any browser or device I use. I'll check for an updated browscap.ini and replace it shortly to be safe on our side.

When he posted that his began working, I checked the strange (to the site) computer and it too began working properly. When it was not working, I could access any part of the site except the forums or the last 100 topics. I could see subwoofer wiring calculator, wire size info etc, just could not access any forum.

Hello

My problem has not changed. I still cannot access anything from the top except forums. There must be fix for this. Can anyone recommend anything?

This is the only site I have ever received this.

Thanks
