About a month ago, I was trying to post an image to one of the threads (don't remember which one) and when I hit `save' I got the error message `page not found'. This happened two or three times before I gave up and went to sleep. The next morning when I tried to reach the site, I couldn't connect. At first I though the site was down, but eventually tried connecting on my phone using cellular data and found the site alive and well (yay).

The problem it seems is with my wireless router since I can connect on both my phone and laptop when I am away from home. I tried a hard reset of the router (unplugged and then plugged back in), but this didn't help.

I would appreciate any and all advice on how to fix this.

Thank you,

Yonatan

Do you have problems connecting to other websites from home? Can you try to connect to ''www.pentaxforums.com'' (nothing else in your browser's address bar) from home and let us know exactly what the response is?

It looks like those two or three times caused our firewall to block your IP. While I'm not sure what exactly triggered it (likely a false positive), if you do get seemingly random 404 errors, please don't try to resubmit the same post- I can investigate if you shoot me a PM or e-mail contactpf@... with the content.

I've gone ahead and whitelisted the IP, so you should once again be able to access the forum. Sorry about that!
