Is anyone else getting 403 Forbidden errors on the board this evening? - UPDATE [View all]

I've had it happen a few times in the last half hour. Can't recall the last time I've seen that error message at DU - if ever.

Editing to add that per replies below, it means someone's working on the site.

So it's nothing to worry about.

Just once so far. Just went to another window. dhol82 Oct 2020 #1

I think that means they're doing work on the site Just_Vote_Dem Oct 2020 #2

It's happened a couple of times to me, too - and EarlG said it's because of work they're doing Rhiannon12866 Oct 2020 #8
