Help! "The website declined to show this webpage"
-
Hi, I've been on the forum on and off throughout the day inbetween doing work and stuff, and it's been working fine. All of a sudden about an hour ago i tried to go onto www.paulmccartney.com and i got this message:
The website declined to show this webpage HTTP 403 Most likely causes: ?This website requires you to log in. What you can try: Go back to the previous page.
Now as I say I've been on it all day using Internet Explorer 8 (in fact its the ONLY browser I use!), and then it's saying the above message whenever i try to get on anything to do with Paulmccartney.com or the forum. BUT I downloaded Firefox and tried to get on and got on fine! So I'm having to use Firefox just for the forum! Crazy times! Any suggestions as to what's up?
Cheers muchly, Josh -
I've just stumbled on an answer to this: Don't use www.paulmccartney.com drop the www. and just use http://paulmccartney.com Martin

It seems www. is unfashionable now. The new message board doesn't have it: http://maccaboard.paulmccartney.com The earlier message board url had already lost it's www. as well. Martin

I see the reverse link from this message board to the main site no longer works as a consequence. I'll pass a message along. meanwhile the route is http://paulmccartney.com Martin

Right, this seems to be a browser specific issue with the error message only being returned with the Internet Explorer browser. As Josh indicated earlier, it all works fine in Firefox and Safari browsers. How are we doing on Google Chrome? Martin

An upgrade from Internet Explorer 8 to Internet Explorer 9, the latest issue of that browser, resolved the issue for me. Martin

I am using Internet Explorer 8 as I type this message. I am experiencing no issues accessing this message board or the main site. I am able to gain access with or without www. All links listed in this thread, including that listed by Josh are allowing me access to this message board and the main site. The reverse link works fine as well.
THANK YOU, (((((PAUL)))))!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Well I tried it on IE8 without the www. and I got the same thing as I mentioned in the original post.
Ah well, as long as it's working on Firefox it's okay -
I finally made it back on here
Thanks to all the info and my husband for helping OH and I can post without getting kicked off -
I just put Paul McCartney Message board into a search engine and re-bookmarked the site and here I am!
