403 Errors

I keep getting these errors:

I've been seeing them over the last few days. They'll appear for a minute or two, then go away again when it catches it's breath. MS Edge, Windows 10, if it makes any difference.

Hey droopsnoot,

Thanks for raising this, and appreciate the detail in the error report!

Reason for this - we've recently tweaked our firewall settings with respect to traffic load - it seems you briefly fell into getting caught by this rule.

We've re-tweaked this slightly now, so you shouldn't see this again - please let us know if the issue persists!

Cheers

Cheers, I'll do that. I've seen it over the last couple of days. I'll update (or post now, if you'd rather lock this) if it comes up again.

Hi guys, just to let you know you can trigger this by clicking fast enough through your own posting history - I was looking for one of my posts from a few months ago and clicked the little date (the "0-30 days" thing in the top left). If you click that fast enough you get 403d for a while. Every device in the house too so it must be IP-blocked temporarily.

This has been happening again for the last couple of days. Leaving things for a few minutes and coming back allows the server to catch up with itself.
