    Why am I getting a 403 forbidden code on some sites?

    On some forums that I visit I will click a link and get a 403 forbidden code, such as on the sign up page or FAQ page. Why does this happen on such an essential page?

    Come back later. Once you've verified that the page you're accessing is the correct one and that the HTTP 403 error is being seen by more than just you, just revisit the page on a regular basis until the problem is fixed.

    There are so many reasons it does so, it might be cause of your network provider, or because the site was experiencing maintenance at that time.
