Lately when I try replying to a PM I get an Access Forbidden error message. Logging out and back in hasn't helped. I don't want people to think I have stopped talking to them. Please help. Thanks.

Try clearing the cookies and cache, possibly it'll be better.

Above is a good idea but you could try another web browser if that doesn't work, I am finding that Chrome is a little better then Firefox and I say that as a hardcore ex Firefox fan. Also if other web sites are sometimes coming up forbidden as well, turn you modem and router and anything else off and back on again. Rebooting might not be a bad idea either but I can't see that being the problem unless your entire Internet is coming up forbidden.

Basically this,

I did all that. This is happening with both my phone and laptop.

Don't know if this is the same problem, but on clicking the link to a thread in an emailed notification, I got a message "You are not authorised to read this forum." But by luck I'd bookmarked the thread, and when I clicked the bookmark, the thread opened fine.
Here's the link from the emailed notification:

Anybody know what happened?

Bugs all I can assume, what I find to work with most of these issues is to just try to reload and do things over and over again until they go thru and they usually do. Annoying but I am use to it by now.
