Hey. Has anyone else been getting the 403 Forbidden error when clicking on content at Spyderco Forums? I can sometimes get the General Discussion link to open but clicking on content or even to log in has a very high rate of the 403 error message and/or the connection timing out. I got the contact form to load but got a different error message trying to submit it. This has been a thing on and off for a while now and would usually go away when I tried later. Now, the forum is basically inaccessible to me.

(I tried it with both Chrome and Firefox.)
 
Well I get locked out all the time for going on like a drunken fool about spine thicknesses below 3mm but I think what you are experiencing may be when you attempt to poke the "Edit " button to change one of your posts and you accidentally touch the "Report" button which is right next to it.
I have done that too many times and too easily .
They need to put a little room between the two touch fields .

I don't think so. It usually happens when I click to open a thread or to log in. It hasn't happened since I posted this and I've been in contact with Spyderco about it. If it happens to anyone, they ask to report it.

I posted here months ago , when Sal had just posted (so he was around ) and in that forum ("Contact Us") and got zero response .
 
Yeah, I get that "forbidden error" at random. More in the Off Topic section.

I just try again later.
 
... and it just happened to me again. I took the time to write up a response in the details thread. I clicked to submit and got the prompt that a new message had been posted in the thread since I started writing. Okay. So I clicked again to submit and BAM, forbidden.
