FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

James, we’re 3000 miles apart and experiencing the exact same problem. I get FB on my iPhone just fine. I get the 403 forbidden on my iMac with chrome, but it’s OK with Safari. No other website, and apparently no other browser is affected. Here’s hoping someone out there can come up with an answer we can use!

I believe that both of you are experiencing what is called --- your cache is full.
Cache is a computer term for the place where all those temporary internet entries go -- such things as when you do a search. They eventually fill up your temporary internet file and make it so that you can't sign onto sites.
There is an easy fix. But, I will have to tell you that all the sites that you clicked on "Remember Me" will have your UserID and password erased, so you need to write down those UserIDs and passwords because you will have to sign in again to get to those sites.

OK -- how to clear your cache.
Open your browser
In the upper right hand corner is 3 dots
Click on the 3 dots
A menu will be displayed
Find Delete Browsing Files
Click on it
Another screen will open
The display will now show you 3 choices - I suggest that you click on all 3 choices to clean up
(you will be deleting your 'cookies', which mean that your sites that remember you will be erased)
The clean up will run for a while --- depending how full your cache is
Once done, try and log into the site you want to sign into

Hope this helps -- and write it down because you will probably need to do it again before the year is over

I'll try your remedy, but it is strange that it is happening to people all over the country, right now. Coincidence? I think not. Thanks! F F

The problem could also be caused by the site not allowing an update - either to the software or the security compliance of the site.

If so many are having the same problem, then it certainly sounds like the site has issues.

I have been on the Ford Barn a couple of times this morning with no issues.

It looks like Chrome is the problem. I get a message on my iMac that Chrome is no longer supported.
