Have you not considered that like most of us they were unable to access the forum.

 

Its been reported and is being worked on.

Seems to me like it worked fine and quick for you. I assume it would be the same for them. This is a problem, that you with a few irritating clicks get get around. Maybe they could not ar5e themselves to do that.

However, Nice to know that it is being worked on. Sad that took over 6 hours as well.

Nothing quick about it, It worked for me after 7 hours of no access, due to my own ability to find a work around which was then passed on to others.

Then no doubt as soon as the matter has been resolved, support will be posting a response as to what the problem was.

CloudFront - It's another thing from Jeff Bezos, so not surprising it doesn't work. Venturing out into every industry isn't panning out so well.

it's possible that there is an attack on AWS servers and CloudFront since the fallout of the Trump saga, and hackers are taking revenge for Trump social media shutdown

Someone forgot to feed him.

It's taken me 6 hour's and 23 minutes just to say.... yes I'm getting the same problem 403 error.....

[sirineou]

I am here in the US and it is now about 9 am , I just tried to log on and got the same error 401 message, but I only have to refresh once and it loads, so from what I read from the problems you all had , the situation seems to be improving. At least logging on from the US is.

Take it easy on the moderators, they are members just like you, who from the goodness of their heart , spend some of their time trying to make this forum a better place for all of us. They are located in the same places we all are and have the same connectivity problems. 

But even when there are no problems with the forum, imagine having to read all the crud we all post. I know I would.

Don't hold your breath.

Probably a DDoS flooding the server.  I think you can get someone to do it on a blackhat site for very little money or maybe even nothing at all.  Maybe some disgruntled user who got banned.

and now for another demonstration of my power. 

 

the last thing i remember i was commenting on the Hua Hin massage girls rioting and i thought the mayor had cut my internet.

 

but seriously 11 hours now and this is the first i could get in. constant 403 errors all day. had to change to firefox from brave.

 

and changed VPN to Perth just to see what would happen

[NCC1701A]

now switched back to Singapore VPN lets see if this posts.

 

ok it did.

 

but my brave browser does not work at all. will not even refresh the page.

[NCC1701A]

well I can say that thaivisa does not work with Brave browser anymore.

 

I can read but cannot post anything. can't read notifications.

 

I'm going sleep now and i can only hope that the forum is not purple in the morning.

It's working normally for me on 3BB in Hua Hin now - didn't work all day previously, just the CloudFront error.

VPN to Perth is working just Dandy.

[J Town]

Now seems to be working without a VPN.

Okay! Then I suppose I was lucky. Just refreshing the page between 2-10 times and it worked. Irritating though. However, seems to be fine today. ????

I do think there is some type of censorship going (recently) around in Thailand as my regular  VPN connection is stopping, same here at TV....  without VPN no problem connecting to the Forums but as soon I connect via VPN the error pops up and can not access the Forums, already tried 4 different locations and the problem persists.... good by freedom of speech and freedom to access some naughty sites.... 555

not for me, so I don't think that is happening.  It's only on TVF that the problem arises, VPN or not. But it would be nice to have an explanation from the management.

I use Brave and Firefox but Firefox is set up even tighter than Brave.

Can now read posts with Brave but not post, reply or read notifications - same with Firefox. 

However, with brave, if you switch off Shields (which allows trackers and ads) it works normally. 

 

No way will I continue to post on Thai Visa if that is what is needed. Not just because of the obscene amount of ads that have appeared but having to allow 3rd party trackers.

I assumed it was a government response to the anti-Anutin story, as the forum disappeared a few hours after it was published.

Issue seems to have been resolved. Yesterday got the 403 error all day, using VPN, clearing cache etc did not work. However, a number of randomly tested other websites all worked normally. 

[NCC1701A]

so i guess this is it because i can't get thaivisa to work on brave browser.

 

whatever changes were made to the website makes it impossible to use the forum.

 

can't comment, can't react, can't read notifications.

 

goodbye cruel world...

[faraday]

Completely unable to use tvf with Brave browser.

[NCC1701A]

so they have made changes to the website but don't want to acknowledge that the changes were made.

 

we know why they want to stop Brave.

You will be missed!

I suspect several aspects may have affected TV.  Chrome just did a browser update. Flash is no longer supported. It got really cold over the last few days.

[faraday]

Using Brave again, but tvf is flooded with ads, it's completely boring with the the constant flow of banners & etc.

 

Bored with it.
