There's a strange problem over in the David Hurwitz thread.  I tried clicking on the newest post:  nothing showed up there and also there are doubles of the reply header and the mark read.

Well, things are back to normal there now.

When I try to post in the 'What are you listening 2 now?' thread, a message appears:

"You don't have permission to access this resource.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Tried other thread, all is fine.

This happened to me yesterday and continues today. Tried a few different browsers with the same results.

Very strange. In the end, I managed to post an image in the thread WAYL2N, but when I tried to add a few lines of text to the image, I kept getting an error again. Nevertheless, a short text of a few words did go through.

This has been happening to me a lot recently. I typed a long post with several quotes (in the Birders Nest section), and when I tried to submit it, I got the 'FORBIDDEN!' treatment and the post was refused. I discovered that if I broke down the post into little morsels, they would go through with no problem, but I could find no pattern to what was happening.

I've switched from Firefox to Edge, and haven't experienced the problem again, but then I've only tried a few short posts so far.

I still get "Forbidden" at the start of a session. But never after that. So it's a very minor inconvenience where I basically retype that I want the index page.

Google tells me there's probably  something up with the "htaccess" file. Apparently it's quite a common error with php but it would still be nice to get rid of it.

For several days, I get a Forbidden, you don't have permission to access this resource page when I try to post to the "Last Movie You Watched" thread.

Damned nuisance, too.

That was inexcusably ill-humored of me. I crave the collective pardon.

I read another source online that suggested it may be a forum built-in spam filter that is seeing our own legitimate posts and incorrectly thinking they are spam. How this filter never captures any ACTUAL spam...          ... is beyond me. But that is another possibility.

Karl is currently encountering the problem across multiple posts. I have only encountered it once, a quite long post that I eventually rewrote with different words and was able to successfully submit.

Is it a question of posting (or trying to) longer than a tweet, do you think?

When I was rewriting that post I was trying to submit, I started believing all sorts of conspiracy theories, but I'm not sure there's evidence for any  It was, however, 3+ paragraphs so there was more room to do something that enraged the "gods".

For me it happened when I was using multiple quotes. Or so I thought. It could easily have been merely multiple paragraphs, as you say Brian. The gods are beyond our understanding, but we try.

And as Stephen Fry laments in a notable Blackadder episode: As private parts to the gods are we.  They play with us for their sport."

I couldn't log in with Safari this morning. Had to switch to Chrome.

[Wanderer]

No such problem here (logging in with Safari on an iPad).

[steve ridgway]

My Safari on a MacBook has been fine.

[AnotherSpin]

I had no problems with Safari/MacBook logging.

I'm getting problems on the David Hurwitz thread--like I had had before.  I saw that there was a new posting there, clicked on it, and nothing there.  And at the top of the page it had options to "Go Down" to Page X or "Go Up" to Page X.  On the righthand side (opposite them) were options to mark read, etc.
