Save your typing in a text editor. I hate retyping stuff.

(40,637 posts)Maybe it was this State Department link from over a year ago. The text's link is to the State Dept below (written a year ago); maybe that triggers a block in the servers. got a 403 Forbidden notice again.

(18,326 posts)I just hopped on the computer, from the phone, and I see signatures, and the box in my DU profile to change it.
These were invisible on the phone. My goodness. I outsmart myself every time.
(unless it's the DU code retracting all that stuff due to the much smaller screen on the phone)
But hey, I have something that works as intended, and I *know* that I load up on extensions and stuff, so I am slow to blame anyone but myself for odd behavior (by the computer or mobile devices, not myself )
I do get network hangups now and then. Return to the site/post some other time to see if it's temporary.
I don't deliberately block any sites or words, except when I turn on the "Trump Blocker". Unfortunately, that prevents me from searching for graphics I modify "for educational purposes". So I turn it off most of the time.

(20,136 posts)I use some cascading VPNs which can confuse the servers that have authentication services. When I reset those, everything starts up again OK.
