Emoticons Forbidden

[Coastie]

Lately if I attempt to use the favicons  emoticons in this forum in the body of my post, I get the following error message:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forums/suggestions-and-feedback/ on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Can you please take a screenshot of this before you try to post so I can see what you are referring to.

Do you mean emoticons ?
Favicons are the .ico files used by a website, forum or blog, so that they appear in the tab, or on the bookmark of the site for visitors.

I don't know if this error is related specifically to them, as I had almost a week of it , and then again last week a few days of it in a line, when trying to reply to any post, in a variety of sections, and no posts used emoticons, or favicons.
Some posts had links to Ubuntu forums for solutions to the problems people had asked about.
I then tried making the posts without the links with text only, the same occurred.

One thing I did notice was on every occasion this occurred, where it has the members and guest listed at the top of a thread that are viewing the topic it said (+1 Hidden).
It may be a glitch in forum software to do with the parameters of that.

Yes. Thanks.

Sometimes get same message when I click on link to the forum from Thunderbird either in an e-mail or RSS feed.

Specifically which emoticons?

Specifically which emoticons?

I usually use only the smiley, grin, cool, huh, embarrassed, and undecided. (I guess you know I am using the ones in the "Post reply" of the forum.)

Error confirmed. Thanks Coastie, I'll look into this.
