Recently I have been getting this error a lot on AC forums. This usually happens when I try to use the page back or page forward buttons on the toolbar. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm using Maxthon browser but I don't think that is the problem because this is the only site where I get this error. Below is a copy of the actual message I get. Usually I can close the page and reopen AC without a problem, it's just a little annoying.

"403

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

I hate message like that that tell you nothing. I'm not too nuts about IE 7, either. Twice it's open dozens of dozens of the same page I'm on. Yesterday I had 127 pages open.

IE is the reason I use maxthon. You can open many pages in the same window without slowing your computer down. It's called a tabbed browser, if you dislike IE I suggest you give it a shot. Its free at maxthon.com.

I don't use IE or Maxthon. If you want a good "tabbed" browser, try firefox by Mozilla ([Only Registered Users Can See Links.]). It's more secure then IE. I have tried alot of browsers and IMO this one works best for PC.

I'm glad there are a bunch of firefox fans here. How about the 403 error? Anyone else getting those frequently?

I have gotten it a few times but not in the last month. I believe it is related to the connection on is on which jeffs experinces might support.

Thanks william! I just tried firefox and I get the 403 using that software also. It might just be my PC. I'll check things out on my end.
