Cannot access forum

Post by pepegota »

One of my three computers cannot access this forum. It happens to be my main computer.
I tried the following URL without success.
1. http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewforum.php?f=1
2. http://phpbb.ulead.com.tw/EN/viewforum.php?f=1
Both change to http://www.corel.com/us/?f=1
,which is Corel's site.
They work on my other machines without issue.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

Not sure why your other two computers would have worked. The stuff-up was world-wide, but after first being alerted by another North American user, and then having it happen to me, I alerted Corel who tracked it down and got things going again. I think they were doing something else on their servers and somehow a bad redirect web link got inserted which diverted everyone to their regional corel.com.
