403 errors [View all]

[EarlG]

Some members have been and may still be experiencing 403 errors when trying to post. This is not caused by a hack, in fact quite the opposite — it is actually being caused by the DU firewall acting too aggressively.

403 errors should not be persistent but some members are clearly continuing to experience them. I’d like to get an idea of how many people are being affected.

The error manifests as a plain white screen with the words "403 Forbidden" or just "Forbiddden" at the top of the screen and may occur when attempting to post, preview, or send DU Mail.
