Summary:

403 Forbidden on all journals

Original Request:

I've started getting 403 Forbidden errors on all journal pages, including my own -- I can post, but not check back on what I've just written.

Searching past support requests, e.g. https://www.dreamwidth.org/support/see_request?id=43221
suggests that the problem is with your internet provider taking exception to my internet provider. My current IP address is 79.65.92.81

Diagnostics: NetSurf/3.11 (RISC OS)

Hi there,

Last night we enabled some more "bot detection" rules to attempt to reduce spam against our servers, but it looks like your browser (NetSurf) is niche enough that it wasn't being considered a browser.

I've gone ahead and updated the rules to remove the particular strictness check against web browsers, so you should be able to browse Dreamwidth again. Please let us know if not.

Best,
Mark Smith

Brilliant -- it worked.
Thanks a lot.
