What is a 403 Forbidden Error?
The 403 Forbidden Error happens when the web page (or other resource) that youre trying to open in your web browser is a resource that youre not allowed to access. Its called a 403 error because thats the HTTP status code that the web server uses to describe that kind of error. You usually get this error for one of two reasons. The first is that the owners of the web server have properly set up access permissions, and that youre really not allowed access to the resource. The second reason is that the owners of the web server have improperly set up permissions and youre getting denied access when you really shouldnt be.

Have gotten the message a few times already this morning. But then I'll click on the post again and "voila" the page opens. Happened a few times over the past week. Just wonder if it's the site or somethings wacky with my system. Although I'm not getting the error message anywhere else.

(205,823 posts)6. Yes, it's happened to me several times. Yesterday EarlG posted about it
Said it's "nothing malicious," has something to do with work that Elad is doing. It also was happening several weeks ago, same reason. It's a PIA, but it's DU, not you.
