The VideoLAN Forums

I just got the following error when trying to login to forum.videolan.org with the Google Chrome browser, version 22.0.1229.94 (the latest) on a Mac.

Error 403: Forbidden

If you get this page trying to login or register on forums, it means our security system thinks you're using spam relay or your ISP address is blacklisted.

Luckily, i was able to pull up my version of Mosaic - er, i mean Firefox and logged in lickety-split.

There is something wrong in your Chrome version, maybe an extension that misbehave.

It was the ScriptNo extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... lahbdbdgdf).

Even when ScriptNo is partially disabled it won't let me login to the forums without the "error 403:forbidden" displaying. I had to fully disable in Chrome extension settings and now can login successfully to forum.videolan.org. Thanks for the help.

You are welcome.

I also just had a Google Chrome issue when as I was signing up (Nice forum by the way). The problem I had was that your Captcha wasnt appearing. I tried refresh a few time but to no avail. anyway I switched over to FF and here I am. Slightly odd because I beleive it is a Google engineered Captcha that you use - reCapcha isnt it? So theoretically it should work with Google's Browser Chrome. Rant over.
