democratic underground took me to DU just now.

However, bookmarked link still gives forbidden which is weird as same url.

Granted my computer skills peaked in the late 1990s. lol

Little glitches are a big deal and sometimes almost existential (like forbidden du).

When it was happening, I just hit the back button and tried again, and usually the link would then work. Of course, three links later the same thing would happen.

If it happens again, restart your device.

You'll get back in, don't worry.
