Hi,

Why an error message appears after I was clicking "Search" button?

Check that you are actuaklky logged into the forum (it sometimes works better if you access it from the menu bar in BC and not directly).

Also check on your settings for search

Hi Rhubarb,

Thank you for reply.

Why should I log into forum?? How do I check my setting?

‘403’ is a web error message saying you are not permitted to visit that particular site. Check here for details.

You obviously did log on to the forum (or you wouldn't  be here to ask)

The settings will be in your browser

Hi,

Can you explain which settings in browser that I need to check / change?

So far, I only turned off windows firewall but an error message still persists.

It’s quite possible that the website is blocked by your ISP - I’d suggest using a VPN to access it. Firefox has several free (but limited) ones available in ‘add-ons’

Hi Rhubarb,

Yes, you are right.

When I changed my browser from Chrome to Firefox, I didn't have an error message again.

Thank you
