This didn't happen until recently. I started getting this error:
"You are not authorized to view this page" Whenever I try to access Moodle.org.
I'm not sure what is going on here, but I have to refresh multiple times or restart the browser for it to work, but then it happens again.
IE 6.0

... but this is happening pretty consistently when I use IE 6.0. In fact, just now I connected with IE and experienced the problem...I refreshed a couple of times and then got a screen that read "No Dice!". I've been having the same problem...started a about a week ago. I use IE 6.0 on Windows XP.

Hi,
Have you checked for parasites (spyware, adware, hijackers, optimizers,etc)? Usually when students and faculty start reporting the "forbidden" page errors, it is often due to a parasite, particularly since it happens with IE and not non-IE browsers.
The other problem might be due to a recent Windows update. This is a tip posted on another CMS's website:
HTTP 403 Forbidden or Access Denied Errors
When trying to log in, some users have reported getting "403 Forbidden" or "Access Denied" error messages.
One possible cause is an Internet Explorer 6 update installed by Windows Update. Some users found that this problem could be resolved by changing an Internet Explorer setting:
Hope this helps...
Cheers,
Bob
