Getting a “Forbidden – You don’t have permission to access this resource” message.
please help
Hi Mick,
This message tells you that you do not have the necessary rights to view the page.
Can you send me back the URL of the feed you are trying to open.

Every RSS we add gives us the “Forbidden” message on the feed, is there something we can do ?
Hi Michelq,
I don’t know why right now, but can you send me back a url for me to check.
Usually this error is returned by the remote server which refuses the connection.
You ou can use the ‘Contact us’ button in the footer to discreetly send me one or more URLs.
