400 errors:

"95% of the time this is because of a problem on the client system e.g. there is something unstable on your PC running the Web browser."


http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E400.html


Have a look on that website and run through their list of questions, it may well be your browser.


And try running this programme on your computer http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ it's free and will clean things off your computer.

Thanks will try that, but according to the second message I get (see below) it is due to security software protecting the East Dulwich Forum website?


Is that likely? Nothing has changed at my end so far as I'm aware, and this is the only website I am getting these messages on! Thanks.

Your request was intercepted by Bad Behavior, security software which protects the Web site you visited from malicious activity, such as hackers, spam and viruses. We apologize for the inconvenience, but your request matched a profile of suspicious activity. This problem is usually quite easy to fix.


Your computer appears to have sent a request through a proxy server which corrupted the request. Uninstall the proxy server and try again. It is not normally enough to simply disable the proxy server. If you are required to use the proxy server, contact the proxy server administrator for assistance.


This problem may be caused by misconfigured or malfunctioning browser privacy software or personal firewall software. If you use this type of software, turn it off or reconfigure it and try again. (Example: For Norton Internet Security, you need to disable the Stealth Mode Browsing feature.)


This problem may be caused by viruses or spyware on your computer, or by malicious software that pretends to be anti-virus or anti-spyware software. Ensure that you have REAL anti-virus and anti-spyware software on your computer, that they are kept up-to-date, and that you have run a full system scan using each tool. Once your system is cleaned of viruses and spyware, please try your request again.


The free Microsoft Security Essentials provides reasonable protection against a wide variety of malicious software.

Hi


It seems out protective outer force field, known as Bad Behaviour, occasionally does not like your ISP. What happens is it gets a list of naughty IP addresses from a server, those on the naughty list are ones that have been accused of sending out spam. You both have the same ISP, AOL, which tells us that someone has been using their AOL account to send spam and AOL have not dealt with them quickly enough and therefore one of the AOL servers has been put on the list. Unfortunately we cannot take down the force field to alleviate this problem for the two of you as it would open us up to attack from many others, Bad Behaviour is something that helps keep this forum spam free.


So all we can do is wait, it is out of our hands but AOL will know how to remove their server from the blacklist. Sorry we cannot do any more to help.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
