Am I The Only One Getting a 403 Forbidden Error Everytime I Try to Access a Book Page?

Everytime I Try to Access a book Page i Get a 403 Forbidden Error, is anyone else having this problem. (August 21, 2024)

I've been getting this too since yesterday, but only on my phone (works fine on desktop). So weird!!

[Cat]

I'm also getting the 403 Forbidden Error when I try to look the Goodreads Giveaway page. Does anyone know how to fix this? What's going on?

[Sammyll]

Im getting it too, so annoying!

[Diksha]

It's the same with me; it's annoying!

Nothing to see here, please move this to a different place.
That said, some of these errors, where one connection works and a different not:
check your Internet setting
DNS? Try different ones
VPN? Try turning it off
PI-Hole? Disable blocking for a few minutes and try again.
if that works, try to whitelist the urls that was blocked.
iOS? There is a setting on by default which masks your IP, turn that off. Or toggle it.

Another solution is simply to wait, if it is something like a blacklist (for Trojans/SPAM/etc.), it might clear itself soon, say a few days.

Yes, it's happened to me since last evening. I cannot access a single one of my books. Help!!

Today instead of a 403 Error on Book Pages, it just says page not found, and sometimes the whole website goes down for minutes at a time.

This Section is the Just to Chat Section, and this topic does not need to be moved elsewhere.

Have been having the same problem for the past few days. Yesterday I managed to access book's page by using a different browser, Firefox (Chrome is my daily drive), but today even Firefox started to give me the 403 error. So annoying

[Otavio]

For those interested, I found a hint that this is happening on Linux only and that spoofing the browser's user-agent to a Windows agent would work...
I tried and indeed worked for me

[Robert]

Still getting it. My iPhone app is fine. Website issue.

[Kris]

So the rest of the site is available except for a few specific pages?

Just throwing in my two cents -- my first thought is they might be updating code or back-end processes for certain pages...which doesn't require taking down the entire site? (Last night I did see the site go down for a short time with an "over capacity" message.)

[Paul]

Looks Like Book Pages are Back up for the moment, It was only effecting the website (I'm using windows), my android app was/is working perfectly fine.

[Martina]

Same :( I can’t even open a new topic and I am desperately trying to find the name of a book :(
