    I've been 'successfully' using the Co-Op for > 1-2 months now...

    Suddenly I get

    Ads not found on http://www.refrozen.com/

    ....

    Account not not yet activated. | Site failed automatic validation as of 2005-02-15 (make sure URL and site type is correct - if everything is correct, make a request in the forum for assistance). Validate/Calculate Weight Now

    Yeah, well, the ads are there... :rolleyes:

    Talk to your server admin. Validator is getting a 403 forbidden error.

    Hmm, okay... I didn't change anything, so I guess I'll ask my webhost.

    Edit, can I get the IP and the useragent of the validator?

    Do your logs show the full host name, or just the IP?

    Oh yeah, I'll go get the IP.... I never thought of that (pretty dumb if you think about it)

    Aha! Fixed. I just contacted my host and apparently it was blocking anything that didn't have a proper HTTP_USER_AGENT due to some attacks on the server... Thanks a lot sorry for bothering you

    Up to 5000 weight! Yay.
