403 forbidden

[A Winner Is You]

I get it when I try and access the site using Firefox on my laptop. Chrome, and Firefox mobile seem to work fine.

I too am getting this error.

Brave on Android.

ETA. Error when trying to quote and reply on a post in the Videp Games forum, 8/16 bit video games and the history of gaming.

its Chrome on ChromeOS which is causing me the issue.

last night I was on Opera

I got this the other evening trying to reply to the "how to legitimise a large amount of cash" thread, which did make me wonder whether I was a few minutes away from a Transit full of boys in blue turning up on the doorstep...

(Chrome/Android if it helps)

[bitchstewie]

Just had this (I wonder if it will let me post this).

I can't access the forum or home page at all using Google Chrome (80.0.3987.122) on OSX 10.14.6.

When accessing the forum — whether that's typing the URL directly, clicking my bookmark or following a link on Google after typing 'pistonheads forum' I get the 403 forbidden message.

When navigating to the home page I get this message: "HTTP header is larger than 10240 bytes." and nothing else on the screen.

It seems something is borking something.

Everything works as expected on Safari (13.0.5) on the same computer.

I've been having this issue too. (403: Forbidden)

TBH I've had that message for a couple of months now

IIRC that one's probably because PH accumulates cookies that don't get cleared up. Clear your cookies and it should be good for a while.

I got 403 Forbidden yesterday when trying to post on the Scale Models forum. Same on PC and laptop. Still the same today

I got it when trying to upload a photograph. At the time I thought maybe the file was too big.

Just had this message over the last 30 minutes when I tried to access Pistonheads on several occasions using Firefox

Exactly the same for me

I’ve been getting it as well on iPadOS 13.3.1 using Safari.

[anonymous-user]
