Why can't I post? - Wetwarev7 - 05-21-2007

I keep getting a 403 error when I try to respond to a thread, and when I try to contact the company through their contact information


RE: Why can't I post? - Wetwarev7 - 05-21-2007

And when I tried to edit the above, it stalled...hrm


RE: Why can't I post? - Wetwarev7 - 05-21-2007

ok, are you limiting the amount of text a user can post? because that seems to be the problem here. I'm not writing a book, just trying to reply to the "Some Quick Questions" thread in the feedback forum, with better answers than just "yes" "no" "boobs"....


RE: Why can't I post? - Blanel - 05-21-2007

Sounds strange... I don't get that error, and many other people don't considering long logs can be posted. What OS are you using and what internet browswer?


RE: Why can't I post? - Wetwarev7 - 05-21-2007

Win XP, Mozilla Firefox

I'll try it with Internet Exploder...I mean Explorer....


RE: Why can't I post? - Wetwarev7 - 05-21-2007

Nope, same thing with IE....
WinXP, SP 1, or 2, or pi, I don't remember....
Mozilla Firefox
Internet Explorer
Broadband connection
Error is as follows:

403 Forbidden

RE: Why can't I post? - Blanel - 05-21-2007

ok. What firewall/antivirus are you using?
Do you have a hardware firewall?
Are you using a proxy?
What country you live in btw?


RE: Why can't I post? - Wetwarev7 - 05-21-2007

USA, I am going through two firewalls(WinXP firewall, and the router firewall), but I don't think that has anything to do with it. Firewalls generally let data pass through, or they don't. Besides, I post on many other forums with no problem.


RE: Why can't I post? - Blanel - 05-21-2007

Odd. And you're not using any proxy? Fair enough.

Can't figure out what it might be... Wait for one of the admins to log on and read this. They might figure it out Smile

Check through your security settings in IE or Mozilla and check if there isn't something completly obvious hindering it Smile


RE: Why can't I post? - Wetwarev7 - 05-21-2007

Meh....I'll just wait for an admin. If they want my feedback bad enough, they'll fix it.

Thanks for the help! Smile
