I keep getting an Access Denied message

[tpann]

I'm trying to post a question to the Pro Tools 2020 forum and keep getting "Access Denied. You don't have permission to access "http://duc.avid.com/newthread.php?" on this server."

It is a very long post with my questions and Sandra and such. Is there a character limit or word limit?

[Darryl Ramm]

Don't think so. It's been an ongoing bug here on some threads.

One of the moderators may know if they can get a fix for it...

Yes it sucks. Sometimes using Tapatalk helps, but of course that is only a workaround.

Ok, thanks JFreak. I'll try with Tapatalk

And only if you're on a cell phone. All the same though us desktop users have the same issue from time to time. And it can happen out of the blue.

Long-time problem.
I've found two methods that looked like they worked;
1. Don't insert links.
2. Copy the text that won't post, paste it into a simple app like a stickie note, copy that and paste it into the posting field. The idea is that this 'cleans' the text of invisible characters.

One that I use is to just select the text I typed and hit copy. Then if/when things barf I just paste into a new reply.

Sometimes copypaste inserts invisible characters into the text, and forum software rejects. It is mostly Unix/Windows thing but happens so randomly I think that is not the culprit.
