Oh I thought I got banned. Guess it's not just me.

Tried to access the site on iPhone (Safari) and nothing was working.

Works fine as usual on my Windows laptop (Chrome)

Getting access denied on Android/Samsung browser. Clear cookies works to access the site, but I still get the "Oops, something went wrong" when I press the login button.

Can someone please post a screenshot(s) of what the Access Denied page looks like and the URL you're seeing it on?

I'm having trouble recreating it.

hopefully the link works, getting it appearing on anything connected to redcafe when browsing on my iPad in general mode. Am able to log in here through the private tab.

I thought I was banned, when I am using my iPhone today it said access denied.

I cleared cache, and it worked for like five minutes before I got access denied again. I'm using Chrome usually (now Microsoft Edge).

Every 5 minutes for me at the moment no matter how many times I clear cookies.

I've had it around 10 times today and it started yesterday evening. Windows 11 and Edge.

I am choosing to reject all but essential Cookies when the message appears when logging in after clearing them.

Yeah, I've had it most times when I try to load the site on Google or Chrome for the last couple of days. But I've been on here for hours using Brave and it's been working fine.

This should be resolved now. Sorry it took so long.

If you're still seeing issues please let me know in this thread.

Still happening to me on my Android devices on Chrome, after clearing cookies and cache. Got back in but then it popped up after a few minutes. I'm using a VPN if it makes any difference.

Seems to be working across all devices now, thank you for the quick fix.

I will now go ahead and discard the resignation letter I had been drafting. :angel:

It carried on working on Brave with no issues, but just tried it on Chrome - which was previously throwing up the 'Access Denied' error, and seems to be working fine on that now.

Thanks, Niall.

I cleared my cookies on iphone and tried to enter again, but the site is just loading forever on iphone / safari. It ends with the browser's error message is that the "server stopped answering". What's the fix then if clearing cookies doesnt solve?

Edit: Seems like closing the 20 redcafe tabs I had hoarded in the background solved the problem

Just had to reinstall chrome on my main phone and Redcafe no longer loads at all. My other phone where I didn't change anything is fine...

Then was like ok works in incognito nevermind.
