[RESOLVED] Good News for Frustrated Forum Users - FORBIDDEN!!!!!!

[Bob Denny]

I have persevered and finally jumped through enough hoops for the techs at my Linux server provider service to take the 403 FORBIDDEN! errors as their responsibility. This morning, after doing some tests yesterday, they wrote back and said that the problems are being caused by an Apache "mod_security" script that they installed a while back for everyone on the shared Linux system. They offered to disable it for me and I said YES. We have a "safe space" closed community here and the restrictions were causing some of us (and me for sure) hell!! I don't know when they will get back to say they shut that thing down but at least there is hope.

Merry Christmas everyone!

GREAT NEWS!! I was notified by the hosting company that they have removed the extra security restrictions that they had placed on our system a while back. I had saved several shortcuts to messages that caused the FORBIDDEN responses, as well as some which came up empty when you tried to edit them (seriously frustrating for me!!). They all work properly now!!!!!

What a relief.
