Can’t access forum from laptop?!

[BoujieDoll 2]

Hello I’m new to SL and wanted to use the forums but when I try to access it from my laptop it says “I don’t have permission to view the site” and it won’t let me access the forum at all. I can access it on my iPhone (like I am now) but this is frustrating as I’d like to use it on my laptop aswell. Any help much appreciated.

I had this happen once.  I made sure I was logged out of my Dashboard and then I cleared cookies in the browser.  Then I was good to go.  I never figured out exactly what the issue was, but didn't really care since it got resolved.

You're not being blocked by Linden Lab.  If you were, you wouldn't be able to get here from any device.  Therefore, you have some setting in your laptop that is blocking you.  The most obvious culprit is your anti-virus software.  Be sure that you have made an exception in it for the secondlife.com domain.

Can you load the forum in a different web browser or in a private/incognito window?

Thank you LittleMe Jewell. Clearing my cash & cookies seems to have done the trick. I can now access the forums as normal. Not sure why that happened in the first place but it’s sorted now so I guess it was just a glitch or something.
