Title: 403 errors and question marks
Post by: Rusty Nuts on December 07, 2018, 20:47:40
I'm getting 403 errors when trying to preview posts, and letters with French accents are changed to question marks. Wot's going' on?

Are you wearing a 'gillet jaune' RN?  :whistle:

Seriously, could this be teething probs with the new host? I don't preview posts.

I'm going to preview this post.

What I am seeing is an SSL Certificate error. I'll sort it tomorrow, too tired now.

Trying to write Provencale with a cedilla. Took away the c and put in a ?  instead.


And my "hello" viz vest ( thanks, filter) is in the top box, just in case. Along with spare bulbs, specs and absolutely no breathalysers.

It could be the language settings in your browser?

I take that back, it does it to me too. I'll have a look tomorrow.

OK, there is a solution to this, it involves converting the database (UTF-8) and associated language files.

It's a real ball ache (with the potential to go horribly wrong). I have to ask myself if the use of foreign characters is often enough to warrant the disruption?

On a brighter note, I did fix the SSL error.

Post by: Rusty Nuts on December 08, 2018, 19:37:29
No. Forget the foreign characters, definitely. The occasional apostrophe and pound sign were being replaced with question marks, though. Don't know if that's the same issue. "Potential to go horribly wrong" would suggest leaving stuff alone.

Post by: Rusty Nuts on December 23, 2018, 21:09:28
Just occasionally, when I hit the preview or post button, a white page with a large 403 and "forbidden" appears. I will screenshot the next one, see if there is any more info on there.

Howdie dodie daydie , people,
Just read the post re spelling etc, uhm !,  I've read back through my own postings and it looks like it happened here to,  in my case it looks like I'm a right pillock (it just did it again... Pillock turned into Pollock!) It's seams to be down to the auto spell / presumptive  checker. At this time I can't find a way to switch it of,  if I could I'd either kick it in the nuts or better still,.  Spit in its eye and flood it's memory! :groan: post things these auto contraption s, right let's see what this turns out as when I post it.
Cheers for now

403 Forbidden error again just now. Typed a reply to a post, hit preview, got the 403. Tried again, won't let me preview a reply if it has an emoji in. Odd.

Rusty,

Was this a one off or can you recreate it? I have the hosts looking at it and they want the following;

1.) The time and date of the error
2.) The URL the 403 error occurred on
3.) Your IP address at the time of the error
Title: Re: 403 errors and question marks
Post by: pichulec on February 27, 2019, 07:30:45
I am getting 403 error usually when I try to post the pictures. Either from external sites or upload here. Also sometimes site don't respond at all. It is like that since last week.

Could you try to recreate the error and let me have the following,
