roytam1 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 when I tried to edit content of my first post it returns "HTTP 403" after I clicked "Edit Topic" (i.e. https://msfn.org/board/topic/185966-my-browser-builds-part-5 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Draker Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Works absolutely fine for me. Out of curiosity, I clicked on the first post in one of my ported Opera topics and didn't get "403". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been known for open hostility towards MSFN, some certain well known members especially, win32 for example, whom they even dared to ban. Not to mention, "ecl" hosts rather dubious content, like edited ISO images, forbidden here at MSFN, but it's just my guess. Another reason, maybe it's your IP they don't like? Forums are usually connected to a "bad IP" database. Not saying yours is bad, probably a mistake? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I post from an unnamed Chromium browser based on v.119. (not Supermium) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, since we don't have that problem, I'm starting to lean towards external (questionable?) third party content ban. As the last resort, can you try to login from another location, maybe? As an example, see, they can't add youtube URL to their post. https://msfn.org/board/topic/5150-what-are-you-listening-to/?do=findComment&comment=1259491 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confirmed! The MSFN forum editor hasn't been working properly for months especially when it comes to inserting of certain links. Here is my report: https://msfn.org/board/topic/186048-msfn-forum-editor-inserting-of-certain-links-impossible/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripredacus Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Changed title. The issue has to do with links and the link preview function. Other users get similar error just posting and not editing. Other portions of how the post editor renders content also effected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroSkipper Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) Is there any progress in fixing the broken MSFN post editor? For months, editing/updating of old posts is definitely a game of chance and in certain cases rather a torture. At this point, I should mention that I have a lot of posts which have to be updated on a regular base. Thus, I am particularly affected.
