Members dickf Posted January 15, 2009 Members Report Posted January 15, 2009 Yep. It appears that those of us with the problem have bookmarks pointed to:http://leatherworker.net/forum The bookmark needs to be updated to point to: http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php? Otherwise, some of us get the forbidden message. Those are actually the same thing. Quote US GUNLEATHER www.usgunleather.com twitter.com/usgunleather facebook.com/USGUNLEATHER
Mike Craw Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Posted January 15, 2009 Le'ssee, first thing first. Yes, they both moved out on their own, without threats. All we had to do was buy each of them a wedding and reception and then they come back and eat once a month rather than every night! Johanna, just make sure you don't make things too good for them to leave As to what kind of browser...look who you're asking! I've got that "E" with a circle around it like a halo internet explorer. Is that what you mean? Mike Quote My choice early in life was either to be a piano-player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference. Harry S. Truman
Ambassador abn Posted January 15, 2009 Ambassador Report Posted January 15, 2009 Those are actually the same thing. Agreed. They should be the same. But one performs differently than the other, at least on my PC. A while back, we were having similar issues with links that had the "www." in front of "leatherworker.net." Supposedly the same page, but not quite... On my end, I've seen the issue with IE7, Firefox 2.0.0.3 and 3.0. At least it seems like several of us who were having this problem have found a way around it now! Thanks for the suggestions posted in this thread. -Alex Quote

Thanks for the suggestions posted in this thread. -Alex The discrepancy between having the 'www' in front of the address is a real pita. That, indeed, does makes things different, and it's all how the host is setup (lw.net). The lw.net/forum and lw.net/forum/index.php issue, however, are the same thing. The host looks for the file 'index.*' (where's * is a wildcard - php, asp, htm, etc) first, before any other file. When you access lw.net/forum you are accessing the index file. When I write applications that have to go fetch outside data(particularly in Flash), I'm usually working around IE and FF because without the www's, Firefox will sometimes ignore the path altogether. In any case, I'd wager that using: http://www.leatherworker.net/forum as your bookmark/favorite link will fix you right up. Cheers!

Members CowboyDon Posted February 5, 2009 Members Report Posted February 5, 2009 I have the same issue, however it only occurs when I am using OPERA. I use IE 7 at the job and never see any issue. My workaround is logon to site as normal - get the error - and then access site via my bookmark and I am signed to site with no issue.. again this using OPERA.

Members dickf Posted February 10, 2009 Members Report Posted February 10, 2009 So far everyone has 1 thing in common - bookmarks/favorites. I suggest re-bookmarking the site, while you're not logged in already. Quote US GUNLEATHER www.usgunleather.com twitter.com/usgunleather facebook.com/USGUNLEATHER
Members Vikti Posted February 14, 2009 Members Report Posted February 14, 2009 I'm now starting to get the "forbidden" page but I got myself a new computer last weekend and when I installed Firefox I put in a addon that keeps tracking cookies active on accounts that I don't log out of and if I try to log into LW.N without paying attention whether I logged out of the previous session then it has given me forbidden pages if I log in while still logged in. I'm going to keep track of what goes on on my end and report back in a few days to see if I get rejected while doing a legit log in. Quote
Reg Marek Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 I was getting the ''Forbidden'' thing too and just kept clicking on the Leatherworker.net and it would finally work for me. It started to do this immediately after my friend cleaned up my computer and he said it was probably caused from him deleting the cookies. I don't know, I am as computer illiterate as you can get. The exact words that were displayed were: ''403 Forbidden Forbidden You don't have permission to access/forum/index.php on this server Additionally, a 404 not found error was encountered while trying to use an Error Document to handle the request.'' This is all foreign language to me but maybe one of you people know what it means. Quote
