If i use the URL https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/help/able-to-whitepages-people-search-note-8-t3817418 which is a thread I have created in any browser after I am logged in, I will get a 403 Forbidden error as seen in the screen shot. However, the URL works fine when I am logged out of the site in any browser and I can reach the thread while logged on either by going to the specific forum itself and finding the thread or visiting my own profile in any other thread I have a post in, clicking on the post itself after showing posts I have started. This problem has happened ever since I originally created that specific thread.

Just for reference, I can access this thread fine without problems using the URL:

I can confirm this and this is indeed a weird thing...

My Personal Findings on being able to see it or not:

~XDA Apps (The ClaRetoX Forum & XDA Labs) - Yes (No problems at all)

~Android Browser App (Firefox & Puffin) - NO (Returns 403 Error)

~PC Browser Software (Firefox & Internet Explorer) - NO (Returns 403 Error)

I even see that thread listed in your profile as well.

This is definitely something that the Administrators, @MikeChannon and @bitpushr, should be aware of for further investigation.

Good Luck!

Interesting, I kept thinking I was the only one who had the problem because I created the thread and didn't realized others have the error as well. The only way I can open the thread is either through my profile or directly to the forum where it was pasted. I know that thread was moved so not sure if that has anything to do with it.

It looks like this was referred to bitpushr who's the Administrator for the Technical Side of the XDA Server and such.

It may take a little time for this to be looked into with other server issues he's currently working on.

Yeah, I realized that, what I meant was thanks for confirming the problem as someone who is not the OP having the same issue(s).
