Hi! Do you also have a problem to enter the RC Universe forum? It does not work from any browser, computer or phone. When i try to go in there i get a message "Error 1005 Access denied".

RC Universe.Com is alive and very well, I visit the site most days and get involved on various subjects that have gained my interest,
I am awaiting a delivery of a couple of pairs of Torro M16 Tracks printed out by a member of RC Universe as we talk,
For those who do not know it is a USA based Forum but it has a Worldwide membership as of course does RC TankWarfare
I have no explanation as to why you are having problems logging on certainly I have not experienced any such difficulties.

THat error is usually due to your IP address being blocked by the web site admin or host. Do you go via VPN at all?

yep, the reason i dont come there much often anymore. A bit strange for a hobby site to block people for where they live.

The RCU site has been having some issues lately from mobile devices and from my work I had issues accessing it. There is a setting that says view full site and that seems to have fixed my issues with it. Post from our old friend Gary:
"Okay, I have also figured this out, I'm on my phone right now at RCU. The way I got here was, instead of using the bookmark on my home screen I opened Google and searched RC Universe. That brought up several choices for RC Universe and I just picked the top one. Then you go to the little button that you would use if you wanted to check your private messages. At the upper left hand, those little bars. When you click on that it gives you a drop-down menu, scroll all the way down to the bottom and click on "view full site." That got me into the tank forum but you can tell that something still isn't right. It comes up and everything is kind of small. You have to enlarge it a little bit so the page fills the whole phone screen but it works and it got me to The Forum. Like a lot of you, my phone is my main device for using the Forum, so if I have to rely just on the home personal computer I'll have a much smaller window to make posts. At work I can post on my breaks and at lunch time, but without the phone I would be limited to the few hours in the evening that I'm at home and can use the pc. Hope that helps somebody."

Yes, it turned out that the forum does not work on the IP at my work. Everything is fine at home.

Mine didn't work at work either until I went home and made my profile use the full site. Then it worked at work.
