Title: Site will not load in Chrome (error 403) but loads in Firefox and IE just fine
Post by: HMWHC on August 22, 2015, 10:46:06 PM
Anyone else having trouble loading therpgsite website in Chrome for the last 2 days? When I try to load it I get the below error msg. Yet Firefox and IE load the page just fine.

   Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Usually this error means there is a problem with the hosting sites server, but clearly there is no problem as here I am on the site via Firefox. Did the usual like restart the PC, cleared the cache/cookies/temp files in Chrome. No change.

If I'm the only one I may just switch over to Firefox as Chrome has been getting crappier and crappier over the past year imo.

The site may be detecting some Chrome add-on that it doesn't like. Otherwise, it should work, given your other browsers work.

Try it again and PM me the browser agent and IP address that the new error page displays.
