Actually yes. When I click the link from the list of topics https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84150 it gives me a forbidden 403 error. Your link here https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84150&sort_style=6&start=800 does not give me the error. Very interesting and for sure a bug.

In poking more https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=84150&sort_style=6&start=04 is the lowest start number I can give. I wonder if there is something wrong with post 03 as for that and 02 and 01 it returns with a 403 error. In any case this isn't an error on the user end.

For me post 03, 02 and 01 do not give me any errors. I tried Vivaldi and Mozilla Firefox on Android Mobile.

I can go directly to the start of the thread Post #1 and it's Message 199130

Post #2 is Message 1991443

Post #3 is Message 1991585

Copying your link and pasting it, also no problem for me.
Tried not logged in as well, but one isn't allowed to see (that part of) the Seti forums without being logged in.

Can you tell me what your preferences are for the community prefs on Seti: https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/edit_forum_preferences_form.php?

OKAY
Played with the settings and if I set to display 25 messages the 403 error goes away. I assume DA has set it very low on this thread only to prevent web scraping. Not too happy that he didn't tell us users what the new rule was. Those of us on 27" desktops can load a pile of messages and not have a cramped screen like a phone user.

I have set to display 200 messages per page. So you tried lower numbers, have you tried higher than your 75?

just changes to 200 and it is working. Interesting bug.

Have you heard back from DA, or do you want me to go after it?

I have not hear anything. If you would be so kind.

Mr. Kevvy seems to think people are still reading the help section of the boards and is moving all discussion there, where the only posts in a year are move moderators have moved.
