403 error when posting offsite links

[ToldFable (Fable)]

old post

I think this started happening yesterday. Whenever I try to post on Community Resources, I get this. This has also happened when I try to reply to people on other posts.

I’ve tried clearing my browser’s cache and cookies to no avail. I’m using a Chrome browser.

I don’t know if this is connected to the new beta Report Bug wizard, but this might have started happening after I used the Report Bug wizard.

Here are some things I’ve tried

• Clearing my cookies & cache
• Incognito mode on Chrome (no plugins)
• Firefox

EDIT:
It looks like this happens when you post offsite links.

Have you tried switching browsers or turning off certain add-ons?

Usually a “403 forbidden” error means something is restricted in the backend, but here are a few things I’ve tried:

• Clearing my cookies & cache
• Incognito mode on Chrome (no plugins)
• Firefox

It’s still giving me the 403 error.

This just happened to me while working on a post:

I do not think this is related to the new report wizard.

I also got something that said “drafts offline” after I pasted in code from the script editor… weird.

EDIT: It seems to be coming from adding tags. It worked as intended until I went to add tags.

My draft also just went away. Very frustrating.

[ToldFable (Fable)]

I didn’t have any tags on my post.

Looks like the real problem is with links.
@FxllenCode did you have any off-site links on your post?

I’ve found that I can just post without links, then edit the post and add the links after the post has been created.

[FxllenCode]

I did! I was linking an article about FFlags. Interesting find.

I can consistently reproduce this bug when the link is wrapped in quotes, this specific reply of mine could not be posted until I removed it, so I left the string empty and then edited the link back in.

How would I convert the source to a script?

You will need a plugin to do this, first off, since only plugins and command bar can access it, but this doesn’t really seem appropriate for command bar so we’ll leave that one. You would just do something like local source = HttpService:GetAsync("https://pastebin.com/raw/EPVyj58n") then get a script or create a new one then do some_script.Source ..= "\n\n" .. source This will just append 2 newlines then the source of the function, so it is readable. But do you really need this ? Can’t you …

Thanks for the report! We’ve filed a ticket to our internal database and we’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

I’m sorry to bump this, but I’m currently experiencing this issue too.

Hi, is this still happening currently?

No, I believe it was fixed only a few days ago. Everything should be back to normal.
