Error using Chrome

[ruffers]

Trying a new browser I've had this flash up a few times, everything's OK on a refresh though. Is it them or you?

"Error 400

I'm using Chrome as well but not had this error once if I'm honest

Over to admin...

This isn't chrome specific it's to do with your ip address.

It's the bad address blocker in action, and the very reason I can access forum from work; clearly

someone at the ministry of justice has, ironically, been a naughty boy.

Have you go chrome set up using a proxy address or something?

[ruffers]

Nope. I used to get an error screenfrom work as it goes, but not one that said "The automated program you are using is not permitted to access this server", the one I got at work talked about proxy servers specifically.

Chrome is set up as default, no idea if that involves proxies.

[ruffers]

Hmm, the error specifically states "The automated program you are using is not permitted to access this server. Please use a different program or a standard Web browser" without any mention of proxies. When I was unable to access the forum from work I had a different error which specifically mentioned proxy servers.

Any idea what it's referring to when it talks about an "automated programme"?

edit - double post as I got the error when attempting the first one!

It looks like it's the same one as this http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?12,394630,397128 you may have an AOL account or another one of the big ISPs but I expect it'll stop soon. Hopefully.

And just to add I use chrome and have never seen this error.

[ruffers]

ISP is BT.

I might be being daft but the one you referred to talks about proxy servers, and mine refers to an automated programme, different shurely?? Anyway I gogogled around the chrome help and it came up with some bits to will try that. To refer to an earlier post though this is Chrome specific for me, it doesn't happen on Avant, IE, or Firefox.

No worries anyway.

I don't mean to sound dim but have you tried uninstalling and re-installing Chrome? I've had all sorts of problems running Chrome and Firefox in the past.

[katie1997]

I don't mean to sound dim either but what is the difference between Chrome and Google? :-S I can't tell...and I use Chrome at home and Google at work!? Maybe its just not apparent to me so happy to be corrected if Chrome is much more FAB.

Ruffers - hope you managed to solve the problem/errors.

Cheers, K.

Chrome is a browser. Ie the software you use to look at websites like google, which is a search engine

Alternatives to chrome are Internet explorer, firefox, safari and opera

Alternatives to google are yahoo and bing

[mockney piers]

Though Chrome is the browser made by google, if that helps.

Google does now do lots of things other than a search engine. Google maps, the marvellous google earth, i think they're even branching out into phones now etc etc

[katie1997]

Sean and Mockney Piers - thanks so much, that does indeed help. Cheers.

They're also branching into copyright theft. I like that. I work on creating something for five years and then they give it away for free. If you're not American. If you're American you get seven cents. Good pay for five years.

They were bloody immigrants anyway. But now they're American everyone else doesn't quite qualify for human rights. Apes can't claim intellectual property rights for the same reason. Do no evil? Google would rape you and claim they were doing it to share the experience.

Maybe that was the automated program? An autistic rapist burglar.

Feckers... as Sean would put it ;-)

Boycott Chrome.
