[help] 403 Forbidden?

For the last few days now ive been getting '403 Forbidden' errors accessing all parts of the website. The only solution is closing the browser and accessing the site by entering the board first. I dont have any firewalls running or any other software which has any effect on my browsing or internet use.

Is it only A-S? What browser are you using?

#181646

Yes, only A-S. Been getting this with both IE and FF.

And I thought I was the only one.

I've been getting them too.

I got a bunch of 403s at about 11:50 AM (MST) too. It happened when I tried to read a PM, but after that I couldn't go anywhere on the site until I restarted IE.

I seem to get a LOT of "403 Forbidden" errors since the changeover. Sometimes I hit "refresh" and the page will display - sometimes it won't. Like right now I can go into Third Party Apps/Stardock but if I try to go into "Objectdock" it just throws a 403 error constantly - so I can't get into the foruma t all. Any ideas what the heck is going on? This has been going on ever since the new forum format was released.

How the heck did I miss this thread, anyway if you are still getting them let me know where you are getting them, our host has tweaked apache so lets hope that fixed it.

Got one (actually 2) just now...went to the "Important Aquasoft Information" topic and when I tried to find my post under "Changes for the Better" (or something like that) thread, I got a 403. Then I went here and found my post was moved to this thread...then I went back to try the other forum again AND got a 403 again...both times when I hit "refresh" the thread posts showed up.

EDIT: Also got 403s just now going to Moby's Apps (top level), and then I went to Ave's Apps OK, but got a 403 when trying to open the CD cover thread. Then I got a 403 when I came back here and clicked to edit this message. Refresh didn't work on this message, had to do a "Back - edit message" sequence 3 times before it would finally pop up. This is VERY, VERY frustrating...

So after i formatted my entire machine and logged on here and got it i just ignored it - seems to have gone away now tho . .thougth i was the only one also but looks like i was wrong !@
