If you get this, don't panic and don't close your browser tab. Instead, press the browser back button and copy and paste the text of your post somewhere safe. It is very likely that a small edit or edits to your post will allow it to be posted to the foum.

This error is not caused by anything you have done wrong. The hosting provider for the MinimServer forum uses security software that filters all posts for suspicious content that might be an attempt to damage the MinimServer forum or website in some way.

There is no published information on what content triggers this software to block the post (understandably). The purpose of this thread is to provide the opportunity for users to share some of the things they have needed to change in their posts to allow the post to succeed.

For me, this has most often been caused by using a left parenthesis: (

It seems the security software doesn't like this when the parenthesis follows a word such file or system. Using the parenthesis in a smiley can also cause problems depending on what is immediately before it.

You can work around the problem by rewording your post and retrying the Preview button until you don't get the 403 error. However, sometimes it might be difficult to reword without losing the meaning. In these cases, I do the following:

1) Select/highlight the text that is causing the problem, such as the left parenthesis character (only)

2) In the 'Font' drop-down above the window where you enter your text, select Verdana

3) The text you highlighted will now be surrounded by formatting controls to use the Verdana font. This is the default font for the forum, so the text will look identical and the 403 error will not be produced. Click the Preview button to confirm this before you make your post.

Any user who has experienced this is encouraged to post here and share their experience of other words or characters that can trigger this error. This will help other users to find and fix the problem more quickly.]]>

I believe the forum is now working correctly again. Two posts have been lost and I will contact the authors of these posts. My apologies to all forum users for any inconvenience caused. If you notice anything that isn't working correctly, please post the details here.]]>

1) Create a new forum post and type any text that you want to post

2) Select New Attachment: Browse (just above and to the left of the Post Reply button)

3) Browse to the file that you want to attach and select it

4) After you have done this, click the Add Attachment button at the right-hand side of the screen. If you don't click Add Attachment, the file won't be attached.

If the file is a large text file, please zip it to save space. Some filetypes aren't permitted by the forum (you will get an error message) and the solution is to zip these before attaching.]]>

And of course some Linnies will be looking for a new home. I had several active friendships through the Linn forum which have now been suspended.

Linn in fact suggest people go to Hifi Wigwam. There is also Hifi Korner.
Over the weeks there has been a long discussion courtesy of the Lejonklou forum. The latter is not suitable for everybody as there is a stipulation that only the Tunedem method of sound evaluation is required.

Are Linnies going to scuttle to the corners of this forum? Obviously a matter for Simon to decide. And I will not express my own views at this time except to say that I do not see a natural home for Linnies, many of whom are disenchanted with the parent company at a time when optimisation using the cloud has been introduced, and evidently has its problems and detractors.

But time will tell. I suppose it is a large commitment for any organisation to maintain a forum. It shows what a great guy Simon continues to be....

I don't run into this on any other forums, and I frequent dozens. Is my guess correct and is this really necessary?

Thanks.]]>
