MassBPOer, if you are getting a 403 permission denied your IP is probably being blocked. If you can provide me with your IP - (

Greg, I am not aware of of problems with bandwidth right now. I was thinking that things were running pretty smoothly for the most part. When the forums have had problems in the past it was due to memory issues and not bandwidth. There have been a couple of instances in the last few days that required a reboot of apache (which would cause the pages to freeze). If anyone else is having the same issues as Greg please let me know.
