Error 403 Forbidden means that you are not authorized to view information on that particular web server.

There is a process for overriding the issue but it seems complicated to me.  I like the idea of being patient and trying again later. 

Mintvine should probably be aware that the users of the site are running into this problem.   :heart:
Have a great day!

I am very confused. Like many others here, I'm on Mintvine as well. But tonight, I cannot access the site it comes up with a 403 error forbidden. Is anyone else having issues getting to this site? It's happening when I try to log in.
Also, if you know anything about these errors, do you know how to fix it?
The reason I find it strange is because I was on yesterday and even had several emails from them today, that I deleted not knowing there was an issue. My Firefox updated yesterday, but I tried it and IE and it is happening on both.
I thought I would ask here because I have no way of contacting them to find out what is happening. I hope it gets cleared up soon! They has a glitch in the system a week or so ago.

Their site has been jacked up for some time.  Or at least for me.  I thought it was just me having an issue.  No idea how to fix it.  Why do you have no way of contacting them.   Use the "contact us" form.  I need to do that but just have not done it.

It would not LET me get into the forums. I basically had to back track to find it via an older e-mail. I was locked out of the all parts of the site, even the forums and the contact page. I was getting the error on all of the pages.

After I contacted them, they told me to try another browser, which I had. And it was still doing it. I let them know via e-mail, but have not yet followed up to let them know, it took 2 days to figure out.

I found out, by putting in the wrong info twice, just from what had happened, that had to be the reason it was not working. I really need to message them again as they have had several issues I have had to contact them on. I just had not seen a 403 error before. I've had a lot of 404, but not that one!
