I can connect to VFRWorld if I connect from another network (e.g. VPN as I used that for the test).
If I use the "New Posts" function (which still doesn't work) a few times the VPN connection is also lost, and I have to disconnect from the VPN and reconnect to connect again to VFRWorld. My connection issues may be related to the malfunction of the "New Posts" function.

The New Posts button hasn't worked for a long time. Since you can get to VFRWorld using a VPN, it may be that your ISP has flagged it as a bad site. All it takes is for one spammer using an IP from that host and an ISP will lock out the entire block of IP addresses.

On my PC win10, I have been using Chrome but with DuckDuckGo search engine. That seems to block out all ads...
Then on my tablet, I use firefox and again no issues getting in. --- of course the "Forbiden" thing is still going on for the new post tab.
---- For me now, the place really sucks, not at all that useful (I miss the old VFRD!)
There have been quite a few national VFR clubs and sites. Hopeful that Worfjes attempt here may develop into a joint where VFR enthusiasts hang around.

I have written to the VFRWorld admin(s) with hope of the issues getting solved. Issues seem related to the operation of the server and my IP is not blacklisted in the forum. Even if I can login via VPN I agree that the dysfunctional "New posts" and similar functions makes using the forum less appealing and dynamic. If it doesn't get fixed the site may soon loose popularity. VFRWorld and VFRDiscussion have given so many hours "wasted well" with reading especially rebuild stories
