Ok so I know that this has popped up elsewhere on the site at different times in difference places, however I cannot find a satisfactory answer to the problem so I am posting a new topic here since it is "site related" and cropped up about the time the site had it's redesign I think.
For the last couple of months, I have been having sporadic problems on my Mac accessing the site and it is incredibly frustrating. Today for instance, I loaded the following:
Home page (www.whathifi.com) - successful
Awards page (www.whathifi.com/awards) - successful
2011 Winners (www.whathifi.com/awards/2011) - successful
Cables & Accessories - Access Denined
Ironically, earlier in the day I had been able to go in to the Cables & Accessories section and received the access denied message when I tried to click the Custom Design FS104s I received the error.
I have tried the site from my Windows PC at work and everything is fine so it appears to be a uniquely MacOS problem but the same thing is happening on two different Macs and my iPad. Ironically, I am typing this from my MacBook Air using IE8 in a windows partition and it's fine but I cannot access the forums via Safari on the same MacBook Air (so it is clearly not related to my internet connection or network settings). I have tried resetting Safari, clearing the cache, turning off all the privacy settings, etc but nothing works. Ditto for Firefox. I'm running MacOS 10.7.4 if the CMS geeks are interested.
I would appreciate some help, using the site under Windows on my Mac is like playing 180gsm new vinyl on a Ion turntable through my Roksan amp... :-(
