What is 403?

An HTTP Status Code of 403 means you do not have the permissions to use the asset you're trying to access. This one is almost certainly our fault!

This status code has an ominous name, "Forbidden!" You might think, "Oh no, I've done something wrong. They're going to call the police!" That's not the case. The permissions this error is caused by are the file system permissions on the server. Basically, the file you're trying to get to has not been designated as a "world-readable" file on the server.

A server is simply a computer. When you use a computer, the operating system determines what you can access and what you can't. It also determines what other people can access and what they can't. By default, computers only let you access things you create, but that can be changed. This error stems from us not indicating that the file you're trying to access should be public.

What now?

Well, there's not a lot you can do at this point, this is something that we will have to fix. So what can you do?

  • Notify us of the error
    • Go to our contact page and send us a message.
    • Don't forget to include the URL of the asset you were trying to access (not the URL to this page)!
  • Find another page to visit for the time being.
