"403 forbidden" message from server

[Asche]

When I try to access Susans from my usual browser (firefox with javascript turned off),
I now see a "403 forbidden" message.

I can access it from chrome, but I generally stay away from using chrome, especially
stuff that I might not want Google to spy on.

Is this intentional?

Are you using any kind of VPN or blockers in Firefox.? It is working fine through Firefox for me. We need to know more about your setup so we can help you troubleshoot this. Hugs

Please also completely clear your cookies, cache and saved data in Firefox. Then close each tab and then close the Firefox browser. Then reboot computer and open a fresh Firefox session with nothing from a prior session loaded in Firefox and see if that clears the issue up. Beyond that info about your configuration and things like VPN's become important to help aid us if that doesn't clear it up. It also maybe helpful after all of that to set Firefox back the way it was when you first installed it. Hugs

 I am using Firefox with extensions, but I have my ad blocker turned off.

A 403 error is strange. That is a permissions error, yet you are logged in. I'm assuming not with Firefox. Try Mariah's tips for clearing the cache and cookies and see if it persists.

I was not logged in (I got this message before I had a chance to log in.  I just went to www.susans.org and got this message.)

It works now, and I didn't do any of the things you suggested.  I'm guessing it was a glitch, but I don't know enough about your web software to know why it would be giving a message like that.  I have occasionally gotten that message when trying to look at a post, but I just assumed that it was a post that only a certain group of people could look at.

(Oh, well.  It's a computer.   It's not supposed to work. )

Glad you got it working.

It may have been a glitch.

If it keeps happening, let us know so we can track it down.

It is nice to see that all is working as it should in
spite of temperamental computers and internet.
