Has this website closed down? It says:

You don't have permission to access this resource.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

You do not need to join to download files. I think joining might have been disabled since the site is quiet but it remains up so people can access the files. If you have queries re a file you can contact me here or at DD and I can pass the message on to Jay.

Also be aware it is an old http site not https so make sure that "s" is not in the addy as that interfers with downloading.

Occasionally the site will go down thanks to bots using all the bandwidth as that site has a limited bandwidth per month too.

Is that what's going on here? I tried changing the url to http, and got this same error.

What are you after?

This is the addy you are using?

Yeah, I'm still getting that error. Also getting this with the Download Database.

[guitarbirdb]

Ok, so they both actually load on my phone. Do you know what could be causing this? 

[Fern]

Could be the browser. Or it could be your settings do not allow http.

That means you might not get to Designers Guild (DG) either.

There are files to download at all 3 sites.

 

Edit: From Jay: Since they could load the site via their phone, it must be a browser or browser settings problem. As one example, some browsers have settings that allow only going to sites that use "https". That can be turned off or exceptions can be added to it.

Thanks for looking into this for me. I tried the following, but I’m still getting that error:

Google Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Security, and turn on Always use secure connections.

 

I also did the following:

1. Try an Incognito/Private Window
2. Clear Browser Data
3. Turn off Your VPN
4. Disable Browser Extensions
5. Test a Different Browser

When I Googled it, it said the following:

A 403 Forbidden error usually means the website's security filter or firewall is actively blocking your PC's specific network connection, not necessarily your user account. Because it works on your phone but not your PC, the block is almost certainly tied to your PC's IP address, browser data, or security settings.

 

If none of these troubleshooting steps work, your home network's IP address has likely been restricted by the website's hosting provider. You may have to wait a few hours for the block to expire automatically, or you can contact the website's support team to whitelist your connection.

 

I’ve been having trouble accessing Zookeeper’s Lounge for the past month. I could access the DD and DG a couple days ago.

 

Are you or Jay able to whitelist my connection?
