Title: 403 - Forbidden on a new post
Post by: guldam on October 13, 2020, 05:07:48 PM
A member made a new post and no one can access this post now. We get a 403 forbidden error.

I suspect it has to do with the characters he used in the subject line, which of course becomes the URL.

/social-media-~~-is-it-designed-to-'hook'-you/

I need to kill this post or modify the subject and URL, but am all thumbs when it comes to SQL.

Help!

did you have an attachment in it?

if not then look at this...

if that does not fix it, then you need to post in the prettyURLs support topic.

I ended up turning off Pretty URLS, deleting the post, and flipping Pretty URLS back on. Will see if they have a fix. Thanks.
