[longthedrag0n]

I keep getting "error 403 -ohoh something is broken in our systems .." Is it just me or is there something wrong with the website ? I can Acess the site on my phone but not on my computer . Some one let me know what's going on.

the site was working fine today and last night for me. i do not remember any downtime unless it was during the day when i was away. if the site is still not working for you then you could try clearing history, cookies and cache in your browser then try again.

Cleared everything but still getting the same error.

is it a specific link or the whole forum in general?

does it work on other browsers at all?

are you using the .com version of the website?

It doesn't work on all browsers. The whole forum in general. I can't even go to the normal website . I am using the .com version of the website .

no script blockers or other browser add-ins either?
is your phone using the network your pc is connected to in order to load the site (if not, test it)?

thats about all i can think of...

if its not anything above you may need to wait until titillating sees this thread. he is our community rep and if needed handles the bug reporting to the devs

Yesterday I had to disconnect from my network on phone to use the site. But now it's working fine on my phone with the network. Will wait till then

I'll look into this. 403's really should not be happening, but there seems to be a mini wave of them affecting a small group of users. For the moment, I don't have any answers for this, but if it happens again, please send an email over to community@tomshardware.com with a screenshot of the error page, the time in your local time zone, and the IP address being used at the time (so we can check against banned IPs).

la la la... I guess getting to actually read articles on a site making a living from advertising isn't *that* important.

And whoever selected BA above, it should be unselected, it's clearly in error.

 

[Titillating]

The page loads fine for me, throughout 50+ refreshes. Do these 403s you keep running into persist through refreshes?

 

[Karsten75]

sometimes, yes, after a while I give up and move on. Some other days I actually get to read the articles. Right now I've removed two of the Toms' feeds from my newsfeed.

 

[Karsten75]

Did some quick-and-dirty investigation. I can't open the window in my Chrome browser, always 403. However, if I open it in an anonymous browser, it opens just fine. So it may be some combination of cookies/cache/whatever.

I'll check if I can delete Tomsguide cookies and get it to work.

 

[Karsten75]

Deleted the 40 cookies set by Tomsguide.com and now I can read the content.

 

[Titillating]

Glad to hear! Out of curiosity, is this issue specific to Tom's Guide? I notice that all the examples you have put up are from TG.

 

[Karsten75]

Yes, only Tom's Guide, not any of the other sites in your constellation.
