Unable to login all day 403 Forbidden Message21953

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
Even after deleting my browsing data and cookies I kept getting the error. The only thing that has worked so far is using a VPN. Any ideas on why this is happening? I haven't said anything offensive in months.

I use duck duck go as a browser. Try that. Plus it supposedly shows you everyone that's watching you.

I haven't aired it out. It's part of the provenance. Galen130 private msg quote post Address this user
It's usually a website problem and goes away in time. You could try resetting your network if that's what you were using.

Hi all. Forum tech checking in.

I am sorry about the 403 Errors. Every member deserves access to the site. My hope is that we can replace 403 errors that with a CAPTCHA or similar... or better yet simply allow members to access the site automatically.

If anyone gets blocked, send me an email (mike@ninjapost.com) or PM on this site with your IP address and I'll make sure you can get to the CBCS forum. You can find your IP here: https://whatismyipaddress.com/

The server's ability to block AI bots and scrapers and at the same time allow legitimate visitors to access the site is not very good. It's been a problem since January of this year when we were forced to "upgrade" one of the services we rely on. Ugh!

Whether we put a CAPTCHA in place or fine tune other settings we will improve the experience.

Thanks for your patience.

Ugh! Painful for everyone, especially me.

The tech support for the tech support is trying to fix the configuration error from last week.

Still a work in progress.

However, they will try again tomorrow around 9:30pm ET.
