The Forbidden 403 on Twitter
403 Forbidden
Twitter"s is Forbidden
It refused to submit my request for answering a DM.
Pretty weird huh?
Who would think that by simply replying to a DM, that would cause such a problem.
While doing a search on Google for “403 Forbidden on Twitter” I came up with many possibilities but most of the results (over 29,900) were pertaining to mobile devices,
In a recent response at Answers.com they state the following:
A 403 error message is an indication there may be an error on the remote web server. There is likely nothing you can do directly to solve the issue. The best thing to do in this case is to contact twitter support. They may have an error in their web server configuration that they can fix if notified about the issue.
And there are many reports on Twitter Support, but apparently the problem still exists.
Has this happened to you lately?
I’d love to hear your comments.

It is not necessarily against you. It could be that they are working on the system and it was random. I have had that happen before on Twitter. What do I do – well, I let it alone for at least half a day, come back, clear cache, and then if it is still occurring, report the incident to Twitter delbius or any or of the support members. The ticket system, I believe is a bit wonky, but you could use that if you could get a clear shot to the form. (iol)
Had it happen once on my own server and freaked out, called my tech in Dallas and was told they were upgrading so some kinks might be expected.
