Getting 403 errors on images

Posted under General

I'm also getting 403 errors (no images + thumbs ok)since 2 days.
I've to mark all the failed images, wait maybe 12 hours, and then the images load again.
I thought it was because of a daily timer, or an overload, or something, but today I get 403 directly.
So whatever it is, it's getting worse.

When you say "403 error", do you mean that the entire page fails to load and you get your browser's standard "403 Forbidden" page? If not, please post a picture of what you're seeing.

Also, what browser are you using, and are there any relevant plugins that could be affecting Danbooru?

Now I get these 403 errors too. Thumbnails and samples are fine, I only get them when trying to open the original versions of images in a new tab.

Doesn't happen always though, and seems to go away after a while.

I'm beginning to suspect that this is the result of more server tomfoolery.

Are the 403'd images remaining 403'd for a while (i.e. through multiple refreshes over several minutes) for everyone experiencing this problem? If so, try replacing the "danbooru" in the filename with "hijiribe" and reloading it, then replacing it with "sonohara" and reloading it again, and tell us the results.

I got it too, just now. I had turned referrer sending off to check, then forgot about it, and just now images stopped loading, and give 403 on access. They load fine when I turn referrer back on.
Seems to only happen on hijiribe, and only on samples and full-size, thumbnails load fine.
