Hi,

I have had the same problem with a Apple IPad using Safari.

I do not have an answer for these issue but I have notice that if I clear out all the past history in the Safari browser of places I have visited it will start working again. It makes no difference what search engine I use but I never use Google or Yahoo.
The Earlier years of dial up ISP systems, taught me better.
It’s something with servers and time to respond, it says?
The 403 messages still jump back in and block communication with the BRICKBOARD site only.
I have not had any problems with internet elsewhere.

I have written up reply messages, while being logged in, just to have them disappear into cyberspace upon submission.
Recently, the whole thread that I was posting too, disappeared for that night and half of the next day.
When it did come back on the 200 section, My post never appeared. It’s was Just gone.

This has been so bad lately that I copy the posting to my note book first, to back it up, just in case the site craps out with the 403.

I have no proof but sometimes I think and it a loose thought, that the BRICKBOARD site has issues because it does not let Google put its specialized advertising on here.
Google wants to track everything and Jarrod, the builder of this site. doesn’t want to play ball with them.
He has commented over the years, on his various posts within the opinion section of the BRICKBOARD.how From my observations only, the Internet itself has hard ball players trying to get aggressive or invasive.

Of course, that’s depending on how you look at it from any technical end.
Power hunger and greedy enterprises are to blame for lots of chaos.

I support the BRICKBOARD with a modest monthly donation for Jarrod’s efforts of past and present.
He has never really tried to solicited it and that’s a qualifying honor in my book!
Contributing my posting time is to help fellow Brickster’s and it is a welcomed diversion from so many magazines filled half full of advertising. Lately they have More photos than content.
It’s what chased me away from the Popular Science Magazine that I had for about 35 years. Plus any car enthusiast magazines were a lot worse than PS for a lot longer time.

The BRICKBOARD is my last resort.
So far the Streaming al-a cart and not subscribing to standard Television, from Mr. Sinclair’s licensing fees, is a last stand against commercialization thats gone too far.
Commercial-vision is over for me.

I’m paying too much for higher data downloading speeds already. It’s only to get in more commercials, faster! How crazy is that?
Spectrum Cable just examined or evaluated my house cable wiring for free.
They removed any extra wire or splitters to the modem to speed up my service, they said.

Yep, I got it, so I won’t waste extra time accessing their system, so more piggies can get into the trough.
Telephone companies are looking to bring in more fiber optics, so as to be more competitive with their packaging scams like the satellites do.
Rent and to never own is a system. (:-(


Phil. Edit. Wow this thread sure took off!
