I'm getting 403 forbidden when I'm trying to post something.

[Tommy Carcetti]

Any reason?

It's for a longer post that I took a long time writing. (Thankfully I had a version backed up on Word).

Are there space limits for posts?

1. Many others are having the same issue

2. EarlG posted about this, he says it is firewall being too aggressive

3. Firewall

according to EarlG
He replied to a post recently about it, but I can’t find it now, perhaps someone else will point to it
Has been happening a lot lately

4. I've had it happen a time or two, but my issue is

that the posts I have read or responded to used to turn red and now do not. It happens when
I go off DU and come back. This started recently. Not a big deal, but it is convenient to see which
posts you have opened.

7. Yeah, after I had a recent Firefox update I had to go into my browser settings

and reset my color/text to get back my black-unvisited/blue-visited colors even though
they had not changed. Sheesh, sometimes it's a wonder this tech works at all!

5. I just got back online after being away for an hour and I started getting the

"Document Expired" dialogue when trying to reply. The reply did post after going through that and after rebooting my browser things are fine.

I'm not getting "403" and checking your firewall and ad blockers sounds good.

6. I think it only happens,

when you are saying bad things about Garland. I kid I kid, not serious, it's a joke.

8. I get those messages / warnings too. And still have the login problem. Does not stay on from one

time to the next.

...cutting the post in half worked, either half.

Not working yet for this long essay post of mine, though.

Is there going to be a resolution to this?

[bigtree]

10. there's just no resolution on my end

...just tried google chrome and safari.

14. Ironically, my post has to do with the show Black Mirror

...So frustration with new technology just seems to be rather on point in a meta type of way.

11. I get the 403 notice sporadically

There seems to be no pattern to it though. I just got one this morning, but it was the first time in over a week.

12. I can reply and even upload a photo to the contest, but haven't been able to post more than

a title since Nov. 3.

13. This may be relevant

The guys are working on the next version of the DU interface. I would imagine they are copying content, fiddling with database settings etc. in the process of transferring our precious writings to their new home.
