403 Forbidden on forum

[Zohane.7208]

Hi all.

I have gotten a strange issue.

I usually browse the forum without logging in. For me that's an easy way to keep myself from posting replies without thinking twice about them :)

Lately, however, I've been getting error 403 Forbidden after a while (a few minnutes), then I have to close the browser tab and open again. While I'm not 100% sure, I think it may have started once when I forgot to log out from the support site.

 

Now, I assume it's a problem on my side but I thought maybe the savvy people here could help me figure out what might be the cause. While I may be quite good with computers in general I'm not really friends with TCP/IP and its functions so I haven't tried a lot of things.

 

Now, for relevant specs: Win10 64-bit build 1809, and Edge browser.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks.

It is probably an issue with Edge. I was having a similar problem with IE but haven't with chrome.

That 'error' is shown when you navigate to a thread/post that has been removed.

It's Vanilla's silly message for 'this content has been removed'.

Unfortunately it's not that simple; I get this error on all kind of pages, both subforum thread lists as well as posts which are very much not removed.

Then, you might want to send an email to forums@arena.net

 

Good luck.

Ah, is that how you get forum support? Thanks much for the info, I'll give the rest of the helpful forum folks a chance to shine Before contacting Anet at least :)

As I said, I was getting the 403 message when using IE but not with chrome. Try using something other than Edge.
