mainly intermediary hops.

I have to log into my account (DU and any others), but it fixes the formatting issue immediately. This works well on a desktop, it might be more difficult on other devices.

Could it be that I'm always connecting on a computer, not a phone?

My formatting issue just started today. It was fine first thing this morning...

and say had no internet connection in recent days.

But today avatar would not load (sunflower) when posted and tried to reload that avatar and several other DU-provided avatars with no success. rats.

those terms mean but yesterday I had a couple of times when I just got the word Forbidden on the otherwise blank page.. No "403" for me.

One was trying to access a PM, the other was for a post. I just opened another Window and it was good to go.

ETA~ Oh & right now my avatar isn't showing up.

Just as suggested.

I have had zero problems, using an Android phone with a Chrome browser. My computer using Microsoft Edge browser has also been stable.

Did anyone think about turning it off and back on?

Sorry.

For what it is worth, when the styling disappeared from my view of DU, I took a look at the page HTML.

The file path for the CSS goes to a subdomain. When I load that URL into a browser, I get a 404 error:
https://upload.democraticunderground.com/styles/style-main.css

However, when I change the file path to your DU domain, the style sheets pop right up.
https://www.democraticunderground.com/styles/style-main.css

Since that time, it's a crap shoot whether or not the site is styled when I log in. Most of the time, the styles are MIA, every once in awhile they snap into place.

Unfortunately, the site pages are pretty unreadable without the CSS. Sigh. I'll keep waiting and hoping for this to resolve.

logged back in and formatting back to normal. Using Firefox on PC.

To clear the site cookie in Firefox: click the lock icon in the address bar, then click 'clear cookies and site data'.

Then close browser, reopen browser, goto DU and log back in with your password.

I've got a good network connections, good apple macbook air w updated Safari browser, but this happens almost every other day with my thread posts.

Help?

I posted and previewed on this thread and the text showed. So I figured I wasn't on "Ignore," which was the only reason I thought one might encounter a 403 pop-up.

So I continued posting. Then when I finished I got the 403 Forbidden again.

What can be done to solve this??
