I had been locked out of DU for many-many months, noted by the 403 Forbidden message.

After (Google) research, this notification is a server situation, the server sees you, but for some unknown(secret) reason it will not accept your credentials (?).

I was finally able to log in once again, by using a very old DU link that I had saved because it was a humorous item; however, I still often receive the 403 Forbidden message, especially when I click on any link article within any DU comment discussion.

I do not have a fix for this and each moment on DU, I fully expect to get locked out once again.
