Where should the redirect go?

[magellan]

So prospector popped up on reddit, and I was kinda puzzled when someone gave the following directions on where to get it:

http://www.prospector.at/

Go to download section once you get redirected to forum.

Hummm... should the redirect from prospector.at go to the download page? the about page? I Never thought about it. I guess forum seemed the obvious choice at the time since this is the place the ancients migrated to from the freeforums forum.

Yeah, same problem here. Also curious if only peeps from eastern europe (and little bit eastern-ish) affected by that.

Humm...
No problems here.
maybe prospector.at landed on some blacklist and is blocked by antivirus software?
maybe i should finally update phpbb?
403 has subcodes.
Do you both get the same 403?

I suspect what we both got this one:

Code: Select all

You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Perhaps, caused by host settings (mod_security thing) or something like that.

The issue is the website isn't secure and probably wasn't back then, and it's natively on http and not https. When my website wasn't secured people literally wouldn't visit it even if I gave them the link since browsers will just deny it if you don't turn all the protections off so not setting up https properly was my server host being lazy (literally).

I very well see he hasn't been here in a while but it will impact traffic as long as that lock has the insecure logo on it. It gets scrubbed from search engines too. I only found this through tvtropes despite searching prospector/prospera/prospectors quite often.
