Page on this thread now. I don't know the best place to alert the Admins.

It's Frustrating! Thank you!

1. I went to it with no problem. I don't understand why it works and then doesn't.

3. I don't think it's the same for everybody

I tried twice to reply to the poster in the link on two separate posts.. and got "Forbidden 403"

I don't understand, ether. When other members first mentioned it.. I was having no problems.. but this is the 2nd time I've had this happen to me within the last month.

Thanks!

7. Yeah, it is a pain

I got this one day every time I tried to post. I said eff this and logged out. Fifteen minutes later I logged in and no problem.

so big here. I suspect it is perhaps a byproduct of heightened security.

9. Wow.. every time! I've been

posting on other threads no problem.

I had been thinking about restarting my computing to see if that works.

Thank You!

2. "Ask the Administrators" forum

Under “Main” left hand side, at least on my screen it is.

5. Thanks.. that's what I did the last

time it happened.. within the last month.

I thought maybe there was quicker way.

12. When I had a problem, I got a quick response

using that forum, but I think a lot of people were having the same problem at the time.

We have had this problem off and on now for 3 or 4 months and I know the admins have been working on it.
Oh - I did rec this thread

15. I've gotten them periodically on some days and know it's very frustrating

EarlG has posted before that it indicates Elad is doing site maintenance.

Is anyone else getting occasional 403 errors on DU. I just got them while trying to do

16. Ah, Maintenance..

17. It's happened to me, too - numerous times

I just couldn't manage to make a post no matter what I did, very frustrating! But that was EarlG's explanation. It seems to happen periodically.
