Resolved 403 forbidden/cloud flare error

[ghanwani]

I'm having a problem today. Out of the blue, I am no longer able to access macrumors.com with Chrome in regular mode. I get "403 forbidden error" -- see attached.

I can access it fine with Safari or even with Chrome in incognito mode.

I have tried clearing everything in the browser cache but it didn't help.

Any idea what's going on?

is there anything else on that window besides what you show in the screenshot?

Cloud flare is a web security program. Possible IP block. Other sites work ok?

Completely blank page other than what is shown in the screenshot.

But it has magically started working now. It was not working all day until now.

All other sites were working fine. And as I mentioned, even incognito mode on the same browser was working fine as also when using Safari.

weird. 403 forbidden is a weird error to get. we did change our SSL certificate last night... so maybe one browser was holding onto the old one and was getting some weird issue.

AH, that would do it, takes time to propagate.

Resolved? I'm still getting this on my Chrome browser. Not on Safari.

This exact error screen?

Yes, exactly the same screen.

On chrome, can click on the ssl/lock icon and show what certificate you are seeing?

Looks like it's working now.

But here's the certificate anyways.
