1. I got that a couple of times today.

I figured that I was a sinner in the hands of an angry God.

[dweller]

3. Just tried again

same thing

[Uncle Joe]

2. I had an issue with that as well dweller

but only on one thread.

The one about the dog standing by the kitchen counter, I couldn't post on it.

TY for bringing it Up!

[Yonnie3]

5. There is a thread in Community Help

Apparently some tweaking is going on. Might want to post there as admin was on that thread.

7. I had one yesterday, but MORE

without 403 designation.

Have tried to inform administrators and EarlG.

9. Got a post just now. I have gotten that "Forbidden" a lot on my

tablet, but not while posting.

[dweller]

12. Yeh I saw that

I can post ‘test’ there, and edit with details, but every time I post the original text
403 forbidden


✌🏻

[Hoyt]

13. I think message I get is just "forbidden." Maybe it's a different thing.

I’m using Chrome.

Admin will get it fixed.

[Irish_Dem]

10. I'll miss it when they fix it.

Seems like an existential taunt of some sort.

Or a ouija board message from the great beyond.

[Irish_Dem]

24. I take it back, when I am in safari that is all I got this morning. Forbidden.

[Hortensis]

36. Existential taunt to existential rejection. Heavy, man...!

[Irish_Dem]

37. Yep. 403 forbidden likes to kick DU butt.

[Hortensis]

38. Lol, but wasn't laughing earlier when mine was a designated butt. nt

[Irish_Dem]

39. Right, it is all fun and games until 403 comes after us.

Then we have to hide.

[edbermac]

11. Testing 1234

[malaise]

14. Happened to me twice yesterday

[dweller]

15. It's happened to me on that post

a dozen times with my original wording… if I just say test, or edit it it works fine



✌🏻

[dweller]

16. Success

I left out the word ‘all’ and it posted
sheesh


✌🏻

[winstars]

17. It just happened to me. I use my VPM to pretend I am in England and... here I am.

[dweller]

18. You're in England ?

✌🏻

[winstars]

21. No, I am in Nevada. And now my VPN didn't work so I switched browsers, Safari to Firefox. here I am.

[Irish_Dem]

25. He just pretends to be in England.

[Owl]

19. Happened to me a bunch of times yesterday.

[mwooldri]

20. I thought you were testing Twitter as TFG...

If that were true, then you were successful in your test showing TFG is still 403 Forbidden to use Twitter ...

[Stinky The Clown]

22. Just happened to me a few minutes ago

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. Had the problem with a couple of posts

Windows help suggests you empty your browser's cache and try again. Did that with no success.

Gave up on the post and tried posting on another topic. No problem after that.

[Irish_Dem]

26. I switched from Safari to Chrome and Forbidden stopped.

[Demovictory9]

27. I had to switch to another browser

[NurseJackie]

28. Shitty programming I guess... it happens to me often too.

I learned to STOP re-trying. The worst part is that there's no way to easily recover what I typed. It's gone forever.

A few times I tried to re-create my reply... only to get the "403" error again... and to have my message zapped again.

Why bother?

So whenever it happens, I just move on. It's not worth my time to try and work with with a web server that it determined to defeat me. So I "let it win"... yay!

[Polybius]

33. I just use the back button on my mouse (also on the top left of the screen as an arrow)

Post is still there.

[tblue37]

29. I tried to post a specific OP several times and also got that 403 error message.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

30. It happened to me yesterday, trying to post a Salon article about fascism

coming to the US.

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Couple Times On Tuesday

Also while replying, but a different thread

[Polybius]

32. I can't even reply to my own thread

Last night and today. Tried on a phone and a PC. 403 Forbidden.

[Wounded Bear]
