Lots of Error: Forbidden errors lately

KOM

Over the past week or so I'm getting a lot of Error Forbidden errors when I reply to someone. Repeated tries all fail. If I manually refresh the page, I can then post my reply successfully.

Anyone else seeing this?

@kom No.

@cool_corona You have 7 posts in the past 2 weeks which is probably infrequent enough that you wouldn't see it.

Got this error once two days ago. But since I had the page open for some time, as I was distracted by other work, I bear it on that.

I'm trying to post a new thread under pfBlocker and it just keeps saying "Forbidden". Also any image attachment I try to upload reports an error "parsing" the file at the end of the upload. Something is definitely up.

Logging out and logging back in seems to fix the issue! Possibly due to some expired or cached session token.

Tonight I was getting 502 Bad Getway nginx errors and forum disconnect errors constantly plus 'socket.client.writeToEngine is not a function'.

I can't edit my posts either.

Was seeing the 502 this morning - seems to be back now.

Looks like they updated the forum software - threads look different.

these response lines are new

@johnpoz If it isn't one thing, it's another.

Yeah - seems there is now a more button for listing out categories as well.. Not sure what else has changed/new?

I would assume the errors/issues were related to the update.. But I don't recall seeing any news or info about an update..

KOM

@johnpoz I don't see any buttons on the Categories page.

Go into the parent pfsense software section

@johnpoz Ah ok. I'm never in that view.

@johnpoz Netgate posted on Twitter that the forums were being updated with possible interruptions. https://twitter.com/NetgateUSA/status/1397190821808594952?s=19

Ah - ok so there was notification. Thats good.

@johnpoz indeed. Though it sucks when you get the errors, rush to see if anyone is reporting problems, and then discover that you missed a tweet while sleeping.
