Tripredacus Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 It is not a problem with your account, as I was able to confirm your account can post into that thread. I would try again, or trying using a different browser just for a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 OK, I'll try again later and let you know...it's weird, I could post anywhere except there, maybe some cache got messed on my end, but one would expect that this would result in inability to post anywhere.

shorterxp Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) I'm getting this error in attempt to post new thread in the Programming section of the forum only, everywhere else ok. Edited June 18, 2018 by shorterxp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Shorterxp, again, not a problem with your account. It should work. If you think it is a cache issue, try using Ctrl+F5 first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Thornton Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Sorry @Tripredacus: I just tried posting in a thread, and I get the 403 Forbidden Fruit Error - and yes I pressed Ctrl F5 first. I think this appears too universal to be a browser issue. (Edit: if you link a site, that's when you get the error) Edited June 19, 2018 by Jody Thornton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Tried with a different browser, still no dice.

Good point, I tried posting in a different topic in Windows 10 section and still the same error. 1 hour ago, Jody Thornton said: (Edit: if you link a site, that's when you get the error) Strange, I didn't put any links in my post.

Tripredacus Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I see that all of you are using different browsers, Edge and 2 different Firefox on 3 different OS... And other regular members can post into there. It doesn't seem to be a problem with account or group permissions, nor browser... There is the possibility that it is timing based, but Supers don't have access to the error logs. @xper would be able to see these errors being reported by either the forum or the website and perhaps would have a better viewpoint of what the forum is trying to do at those times. EDIT: after some looking, it appears that some users are getting a 403 response from the server on posting a reply or attempting to edit (POST do=edit) a post on various threads or forums. It does not (outwardly) appear to be a problem with browsers, OS or forum permissions, and it would be likely that it could happen to any user.

UCyborg Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 The exact cause of the issue remains unknown at the moment. I was able to make 3 test posts in Windows 10 section, but the problem returned quickly. We know there's something strange going on with the site and that it's not related to user permissions.

roytam1 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Every time I try to do this, server returns HTTP 403 to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I've asked xper to give it a look. But I have a question: Are you then unable to edit any post or just the ones you've posted recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dencorso Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Well, there actually *is* a size limit per post, and it has existed for a long time, already (from before IP.B 3.xx for sure). I had forgotten about it. I found about it because of my old thread on 9x/ME with more than 1GiB RAM... when the machine list became too large, I've had to break it in more than one post, to be able to keep it growing. However, I was able to do that only because I had reseved some posts below the 1st one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i430VX Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 just got a 403 posting in https://msfn.org/board/topic/177563-newer-motherboards-that-support-winxp/ It seems the problem for me is link previews. If I click "display as a link instead" it posted fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
