Sorry for the off topic post, but I know there are a lot of clever computer people on here. A sit I spend a lot of time on is overunity.com. Today I can not access the site, I get a message saying Forbidden 403. There are various fixes listed on google, but I can not get any of them to work. Does anyone know the likely cause of this problem, and will it resolve itself. If so when? Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys, sorry for posting in the wrong place, and thanks to whoever moved it here.
Judging by the use of the word "forbidden" it has obviously been shut down by the Men in Black, to prevent us knowing about that new 1,000 Amp Hour battery that only weighs half a kilogram and costs fifteen quid. Thanks again guys.

A possible solution:

1.Check for URL errors and make sure the actual web page is specified. The most common reason for a web site to return the 403 Forbidden error is if the URL is pointing to a directory instead of a web page.


2.If you're sure the page you're trying to reach is correct, the 403 Forbidden error message may be a mistake. At this point it's probably in your best interest to contact the webmaster or other website contact and inform them of the problem.

The webmaster of most Internet sites can be reached via email at webmaster@website.com, replacing website.com with the actual website name

@john461165. That link takes me to a different website. I am trying to access overunity.com
Still getting the same Forbidden403 thing again today.
I have insufficient computer skills to resolve this.my email to the webmaster bounces.

Could someone please try to access the site for me today and report results here.
Many thanks.

The site is down, its been down for 2 days..

Nothing you can do will fix it apart from waiting to see if anyone fixes the server issue.
