401 Unauthorized?

[4Bolt71]

I can't access the site from my laptop because it says spam bots are trying to register using my ip address. What do I do about that?

 

[Randy]

A few people had this issue but it sounds like it's working now

 

[tedtan]

I'm getting this off and on, too, today.

And I'm getting logged out pretty often, like every 5 to 10 minutes.

 

[bostjan]

I've been on for thirty seconds and got logged off four times already.

 

[BlackMastodon]

Got it working on my work laptop, which is on a company VPN network, but I can't log in from my phone which is not using a VPN at all.

Weird.

 

[KnightBrolaire]

I just had this happen on my phone. desktop works fine though

 

[StevenC]

Had it happening on my phone earlier, but was fine on my laptop. But just now getting them again off an on again on both.

 

[LordCashew]

Got the 401 message on my laptop using Safari. Seems fine using chrome on the same computer minutes later.

 

[BenjaminW]

Had it too but after a while I was able to get in.

Figured I should probably quit logging on and off after being bored for 10 seconds.

I've just started having the 401 spam bots lockout as well. It worked again after a few minutes and a browser restart, though that might have been a coincidence. I haven't been logging in and out though, i've always left my browser logged in.

I got this once this afternoon as well, glad it is not just me!

 

[lewis]

I have this.
Its stopping my laptop and my mobile phone from accessing. Im only typing this because I used a VPN to access the site.

I never log on or off either. Im always stayed logged on. No idea whats caused this issue but good to see others with the issue because it means its a problem with the site that will get sorted and not just my profile haha

 

[IbanezDaemon]

Getting the Spam Bot thing as well.

 

[_MonSTeR_]

Yep, me too.

 

[ThePIGI King]

Same. VPN fixes it however.

 

[zappatton2]

Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I'm pretty tech illiterate, so I've been running antivirus and generally freaking out about it, but maybe it's not all that. I need to upgrade my analog brain at some point, it's all magic and wizards to me!

 

[IAO]

I was actually trying to register and kept getting 401’d. Thought it was just me. I managed to register, but got booted again shortly thereafter.

 

[rexbinary]

I've had the problem part of the day yesterday and today since this morning. This is the first time I could get in today to the site.

 

[budda]

Yep this hit me too, got logged off in a minute at work too.

This has been forwarded to Alex, not sure how soon he'll act on it but typically you only need to wait a couple min and you're back.
