Apache/1.3.29 Server at www.vbulletin.com (http://www.vbulletin.com/) Port 80 It varies from script to script mind you

[filburt1]

Yes, it's rare but more frequently I've been getting the 403s:

That one lasted through four refreshes. vB.org has been working fine.

My guess is they're upgrading something causing the chmods to go hey-hey.

I am getting this consistently, although this is the first time I've been to this site in a while. My guess is that it has something to do with POST vs GET requests, although I haven't looked in depth at when it happens. It happens everytime I change thread pages however, using Mozilla Firebird. This isn't a vbulletin problem, but rather an issue with their specific apache install.

[filburt1]

Changing thread pages was the trigger for me, also.

the mod_dosevasive code obviously needs adjusted.

Try not to hit the server too fast. It is probably blacklisting you.

It's automatic. If it thinks you're going too fast it will block you just in case ;)

It's automatic. If it thinks you're going too fast it will block you just in case ;)Yup, I usually open 10 threads (or more) at a time, and most of the times I get 1 or 2 forbidden errors. No big problem really. I simply refresh that page, and it works.

If you do this during a DDoS attack then you run the risk of getting your IP address added to our block list.

Yesterday I got this at vB.org also just from viewing the first page of a thread.

[DarkDelight.net]

This is a really handy stress relieving thread.

I quick curse, post an error, and you feel right as rain again :)

[Raz Meister]

You know you are just tempting fate by opening multiple vB windows. You could have your IP blacklisted permenantly...

Actually, I do browse vB in the one window except when profiles etc open new ones automatically.

[BlueFlame]

LOL, why dont you guys go easy on vB Servers :p

The first one I saw was at vB.org. You must be lucky.
