"403 Forbidden" on access to page 2+ of threads - About xda-developers.com

In many threads you can only view the first page. Pages 2 and on lead to a 403 error. It's been like that for a while now.
I'm thinking maybe it's about the HTTP referer header, but it happens randomly and I'm not sure what the point would be to disallow navigation to plain pages.
Any idea what's going?
Examples:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...0-stable-ota-updates-twrp-root-t3871285/page2
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...ly-ota-update-twrp-magisk-root-t3713099/page2
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/how-to-solve-dm-verity-verification-t3293306/page2

This should be fixed now, thank you for reporting it!

Thanks for confirming!

Problems with THIS website???

Hi there, I've been having a few problems navigating this web-site.
When I want to re-edit a wiki post that I added a couple of weeks ago, I get a 'Page not found' error when I hit the EDIT button, even though the page can be viewed.
Also, when searching for something, sometimes I also get the 'page not found'
Also, when searching, if I get a lot of results (more than a page worth), the first page displays all hits, then when I click page 2, 3.... etc. it says 'no matches to your criteria' or somthing like that.
HELP MEEEEE?!?? :shock:
Maybe this is the problem : Using IE 6.0.2900
The wiki error is a know one and has been reported but I for one have read nothing about it.
The site is under going an upgrade so the search problem could come from there.
UPDATE
Wiki probelm has been solved (well its thought it has), info out of the moderators section.
Please confirm
Hi there,
Checked everything (edit, search, links that did not work before).
Everything seems to work fine now!
Thanks!
check this out...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelASIC3
I've noticed that when there are tables in the Wiki, the fields are not all there? Is this post incomplete (there seem to be a lot of tables like this)?
In my browser, there are a lot of empty cells, and like 1 in 50 has some text in it.
Or did I happen upon another bug?
Thanks

Postings Count Amiss and More

Can anybody please explain any of the following?
1) Why has my postings count either failed to incrament, or actually decrament, as of lately?
2) Why does the search engine patently not work sometimes such as when searching for numerical content e.g. "Topix 3.1"?
3) Why is the site extremely slow to access a lot of the time just lately - are the servers still having problems?
Sorry if any of these points have been covered in other threads but its very frustrating.
Cheers,
LoopyLoo

1. No, you've only had 1 post deleted as part of a thread clear up.
2. That's vBulletin searches for you .
3. The server's do struggle from time to time still.

Unable to Reply/Post Threads or Messages

Hey guys,
For the past few days, Ive been getting issues whenever I try to post threads/messages or reply to them. I tried both Quick Reply & Advanced Reply same story. Further tested with changing the theme from XDA 2013 - 1024 to XDA Classic and also tried switching browser from Chrome to IE10 and still same issue Basically, when I click submit, the loading of page seems to progress forever till the error message comes saying Server sent no reply data Its been bugging me for days and its annoying as hell
2 Points to note :
I might have issue posting to a specific thread for hours but I can post in other threads quite easily. After a while, I will be able to post again to the thread which I previously had issues.
I dont think I've made any changes my side and after trying 2 different browsers as well as different themes, I think its a problem on the Server itself
Hope the Site Devs can fix this soon Thanks in Advance and Keep up the Good Work
Cheers & Happy New Year

You sure its same issue?
Because you don't have 10 posts.. so you don't have permission to post in development section threads.. if you got problems in that section.. then its common.. if you got problems while replying in other section then contact mods.. see link in above posts .. I think its just 10 post rule you missed..
Now that you have 10.. you can post anywhere..

Ps any update on my problem ? I posted this long ago in the Thread to notify Staff and absolutely no replies Just went ignored I know its not the staff's fault but if they could take alook at it when they get a chance, would be grateful
i think that problem is in the server and it is inevitable...because we so many users in here...

Hmmmm...this is strange. Apologies for no one having tried to help sooner. I'll see what we can do
Thanks for the albeit delayed feedback just in case it helps, I noticed that it depends in some way on the message content or the title. If I start a new page and retype (not copy paste) the same thing, it won't work sometimes changing the title helps and other times, the message itself... In the case of posts, if I can't post a certain message, copy pasting and then adding it via a quick edit works but if it doesn't, then same issue will show in normal reply.. I confirmed that its browser and platform independent and also, I didn't accidentally add any Unicode characters
Hope the above might give a clue what the issue is thanks in advance
Cheers
I have't heard this error reported elsewhere, it sounds like a network issue possibly.
Have you tried on another connection?
I considered the possibility but I'm mostly at college and only one ISP here plus it's not exactly reproducible so I couldn't find out about that if it's a network issue, any idea why it occurs ? I only see this issue on xda,ie, I can read posts and all, make different replies etc but specific messages won't work ( at sometimes and work fine later) and same issue with browsing in iPad so can't see why or how I'm getting this error and it's been bugging me for ages popping up for so long. Again, hope you have any advice
Thanks for the quick reply
Cheers
No issue here.
Sometimes loading seems to take a while but the pages are loading correctly
I've seen in the past weeks that sometimes this forum taking long before it load, maybe due to lot of traffics from readers...
Hopefully some issues from other user will be fixed!

Been unable to rate threads recently

It was working fine a couple of months ago but for the past few weeks I've been unable to rate any thread. I've tried different browsers but clicking on the stars or the down arrow on the right doesn't do anything. I know a few others are having the same issue. Are there newly added requirements for you to rate a thread, like when you registered or how many posts you have? Thanks in advance!

Are you able to check your web browser console to see if there is any error message?
I did just change to jQuery 1.10.1 last night, so I'm curious if this "fixed" it for you.
Also try to clear all of your browser cache to see if that helps.

Tried clearing cache but that didn't help. I did see a bunch or error messages related to XDA in the web console of Firefox. Do I need to post that here? I cleared the log and only opened the xda thread but the error messages are still a few pages long.
I'm not able to rate this thread either. chrome Version 27.0.1453.110 m, windows xp.

First I thought that the ability was taken away from OP of the threads but then realised that was not the case. Tried Firefox, Chrome and Safari. But no luck in doing so.

I'm using FireFox v17.0.6 (need for my work) > no thread rating.
It's since few days ... maybe a week or so.
Sorry for not reporting earlier as I thought that it could be because of my out-dated FireFox version.
Tested now in Opera 12.15 > no thread rating.
And Internet Explorer 8.0 > no thread rating.
EDIT:
Error Console in FireFox gives several warnings, e.g.:
Warning: Unknown property 'user-select'. Declaration dropped.

429 Rate Limited (crosspost)

Well, since I posted in the wrong forum (figured XDA Assist meant "assistance with the XDA forum"... nope!), I'm reposting here.
I'm having an issue with the forum where I can't vote in polls or perform a search. If I attempt either action, as soon as I press the submit button, I'll immediately get a white page that says "429 Rate Limited" with the XDA header logo and the text (paraphrasing)

Hold up there! We've detected too many requests from your IP and have rate limited you.

anyone else using your Internet connection and XDA-Developers?
Could be a browser issue or modem/router issue?
Maybe @bitpushr or @svetius
Could take a look at it?
Sent from my DROID Turbo using XDA Labs
No to the first question.
I'm using Edge for my browser. I've reset my modem and router twice (sb6121 modem, Asus rt-n66r)
Just got this error:
429 Rate Limited
Whoa there, hold your horses! We've detected a lot of requests coming from your IP and have rate limited you. Please check your configuration and try again.
Only me is using the computer right now. Nobody else is at home.
I have the same problem whilst trying to use the search functionality in a thread.
This is rather annoying as i don't want to look in over 100 pages one-by-one.

This can be caused by extensions or settings requesting pages in the background. This feature is called "prefetching" and requests links before you actually click on them. It's fast for user experience but hammers the server. You shouldn't be hitting the 429 rate limit unless there are a lot of requests coming to the server.
Me too, I only go to the forum a few times a day and get this error every time?
It's getting that way, it's not worth the effort.
Doesn't seem to be any fix for the issue, or, am I missing some thing?

Disable prefetching in your browser, this "feature" causes the browser to load a bunch of pages in the background. On a busy site like XDA we rate limit pages to prevent abuse, imagine if everyone loading a page actually loads 20 pages in the background.
Tried the 3 main browsers on my personal Windows 10 laptop, connected to my S9 hotspot. The problem happens on all 3 browsers when I try to download 1 file (CyanogenMod for Note 4 https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19462)
Tried my work laptop on my work's network connection, same error in both FFox & IE11 on Windows Server 2012.
Tried on 2 different T-Mobiles phones in the Chrome broswer - same error.
Seems like the "429 rate limit" is crap on XDA. I haven't been on this website in years - kinda sad to see such a silly configuration problem causing so much grief for users.
Anyone know a different source for the 2nd newest unofficial CM for the Verizon Note 4 (the latest release fails to boot - stuck on CM logo)? I really really want/need it. Thanks!

Quick update: Nevermind, I just kept trying and it eventually worked (on my work-network + FireFox).
Every time I log on here after a while not being on here I get the rate-limited screen.
I have the same issue as well.
same issue here too
Just registered and can't even change profile settings because of this.
The only reason I registered was to keep the dark theme applied across tabs. That's it.
Getting this too.

Me too... but only if I click one link too fast after the former one. My personal solution: I hold my horses! And then it doesn't happen any longer. Just about 3 - 5 seconds between the clicks are sufficient.

That's what I tried to do as well, but still kept getting the error. What started working now is if I open any of the forums and get the error, I just click on the reload button in the browser, than the page loads up. Everything seems to work though in the XDA forum app.
