Livejournal sites: 403 Forbidden?

Hello, I've had this problem since yesterday. I woke up one morning and tried to access Livejournal sites but all I get is





403 Forbidden


The following error occurred: Access denied by access control list.


Could not open error file





I tried all the computers in my house and I get the same message. I have no idea what I means and I don't think I've done anything wrong! Help please! LJ is my life ):

Livejournal sites: 403 Forbidden?
403 is generally an authentication error.





From the link below:





"The server understood the request, but is refusing to fulfill it. Authorization will not help and the request SHOULD NOT be repeated."





Sounds like your account has been locked out or if your browser is set to remember passwords, maybe it became corrupted. Given you can't access from multiple computers, likely your account has been locked out or maybe the site is experiencing problems handling authentication.
Reply:Their server is probably down. Give it a while and try again.
Reply:Hi,





I'm also experiencing this 403 Forbidden problem. Not only with livejournal.com but also other websites.





While using a proxy may work, it doesn't make sense to have to keep using it in order to access livejournal. That'd mean that the problem is unresolved.





I'm not sure if livejournal can fix this or if there's a way to make this known. I hope our pcs didn't get infected with some virus that somehow causes this 403 Forbidden error to pop up when we try to access certain websites in our browser history/favourites list.
