Hestia Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Sometimes the board does weird things. Edit buttons will disappear, posters will seem to be banned from accessing the board without any bad behavior to explain it, etc. If that happens, try clearing your cookies, changing your browser, and waiting a few hours to a day. Usually that will solve the problem. If after doing all of that, you are still not able to post, then let us know and we will check it out.
Calm Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Might be wise to get a buddy's email address in case of being blocked from seeing the site at all so they can notify mods for you. Lasted only an hour for me, but long enough to find not one piece of my tech worked in the house (5 or 6 options) after clearing cookies, etc. Came back on its own thankfully.

I have noticed, I received a notice that a poster answered on my recent thread, but nothing from her there.
Scott Lloyd Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Rep points that I give to posts are summarily disappearing

I was beginning to wonder! But I figured out that it will register my rep point if I tap twice — once on the heart icon and once on the cumulative rep points for the post. (It is on my iPod touch that I’ve been having the problem). 1

It's kind of confusing on why mobile rep points work that way but it's not too big of an issue once someone realizes that's what needs to be done. 1
Hestia Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 Also important to know: Site Contact doesn't work. We can see your posts but can't respond to them in a way that you can read. @SouthernMo, checking into your situation.
Calm Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 The board is off and on very slow loading pages for me. This could be an issue with my tech, but thought I would mention it in case it is bugging anyone else...comfort in knowing others suffer as well. No need to look into it if only me.

Hestia Posted June 26, 2018 Author Posted June 26, 2018 @FearlessFixxer, as far as I can tell, you are not under any restrictions and should be able to post or start threads. Try clearing your cookies or using a different browser to see if it makes a difference. @Jeanne, were you able to get back on?

I tried a bunch of different things and nothing worked. It was weird because I had no problems posting otherwise. I realized it must be because of the content of this particular post. I had used the word “sexual” multiple times in a single post, and apparently you can’t use it more than a couple times...weird! Look to see if there is any language in your post that might be “offensive” and edit those words. I changed all the offending words to “s-xual” and it posted without error. Hope this helps.

why me Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 I also get the 403 page when I try to access the board. And at other times, I have no problem. Strange.

My post was about Marijuana Let me try changing up the language Any mention of drug names will automatically get blocked, I believe it is built in to avoid spamming of online advertising. Seems like anything that might be used in discussing illegal or immoral acts such as porn or info promoting illegal drug use got dumped in a limited usage category. I just got blocked with 403 by putting prescription after online in the above. Edited June 28, 2018 by Calm 1
Stargazer Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Just to be clear, I am not having any trouble accessing the board, posting, or anything now. But for a couple of weeks it was a constant stream of 403 Forbiddens, and it wasn't because I was posting about s e x or m a r i j u a n a. Or any other drug. It happened to virtually every post I tried to make for a while. Then suddenly it stopped happening, and I have no idea why.

Got the same thing just now- simply regular post quoting two different Ensign articles- while leaving the Ensign formatting intact.
