The HTTP 403 is a HTTP status code meaning access to the requested resource is forbidden for some reason. The server understood the request, but will not fulfill it due to client-related issues. IIS defines non standard "sub-status" error codes that provide a more specific reason for responding with the 403 status code.
The " error 403 forbidden" issue is commonly caused by incorrectly configured system settings or irregular entries in the system elements. This issue may be fixed with special software that repairs the system elements and tunes up system settings to restore stability.

(42,279 posts)It's an error, but it's a known error, if that makes sense. Not a hack or anything like that. You may see it occasionally while Elad continues to work on some stuff behind the scenes. Hopefully it won't crop up for much longer.

(1,789 posts)These are false positives. With tweaks these error codes will not affect innocent regular users. To me it is a sign that they are making enhancements.
