"Forbidden"

Same problem here yesterday. Thought I’d been banned and banished. Couldn’t access AK no way no how. It must constantly be like December 7, ’41, Pearl Harbor—defending AK against all these attack bots.

I’ve been getting the “Forbidden” error for two days. I tried 3 browsers and only got in tonight using Safari on my phone
 
Past few days I was able to access on a win 10 machine with either Firefox or Edge, now I get the "security error". My laptop is win 7, never had a problem until now.
My ony access is my phone which is a pain. Looks like the Sherwood S5000 and S2200 I wanted to post in BarterTown will go on eBay.
 
All three of my desktop browsers-

Safari 12.1.2
Chrome 103.0.506 0.134
Firefox 115.3 6.0esr

Are getting “403 forbidden” blocks from audiokarma.org.

Still able to access via my iphone.

Very, very annoying!

I only got Chrome to work by Googling for the AK login page going there, and logging in; THEN it started working

No dice on FF
 
For the last couple days I've been getting the error message on Chrome (for Mac) but not on Safari (so far).
 
I'm a paid user of CCleaner and I keep my machines flushed after every session.
I keep Java disabled and also use a VPN, an adblocker, and Brave (Chrome) [occasionally with TOR], and my machine rarely hiccups.
just saying.

I've always used FireFox for AudioKarma, and every other site for that matter.
Now I get the "Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource."
Chrome works OK.
Cleared AK cookies and history, no change.
Google search shows this has been a problem in the past.
Suggestions?

I am having this problem too, on my primary computer - a 2011 iMac 27, runing High Sierra, which is the last OS it can legitimately run without modification. The frustrating thing is going through the “Validating you are a human,…” step, seeing the confirmation, then dumping you to the white screen Foribidden part, with ZERO EXPLANATION and ZERO HELP to rectify the issue.

The version of Safari on it is not working either because the OS is too old. The one on my iPhone is obviously just fine, or I would not be able to post this.

I hate using a specific browser to access this site, especially one by Google.
 
Been using Apple Safari since 2003.
Occasional use Google Chrome for specific uses.
Been running CleanMyMac.
Cloudflare annoys here or other sites.
Otherwise no problems.

The version of Safari you are currently using is later than that on my iMac. The attached image is what is returned when I attempt to access the site using the version I have.

I keep all my software current.
If there are any problems, I get notified and updates.
