Forum Post: 403 Forbidden nginx 0.7.67 workaround

I'm not sure why, but something screwed up the redirect system. What you need to do to get around it is this:

A standard comment permalink url looks like this:

http://occupywallst.org/forum/name-of-thread/#comment-xxxxxx

A standard redirect link from a notification looks like this:

http://occupywallst.org/notification/xxxxxx/.org/forum/name-of-thread/#comment-xxxxxx

As you all can see, the redirect link included in the notification system contains some extra things that tell the server that you're going to the comment from a response notification rather than directly, and it's that extra stuff that's causing the problem. Just go into your browser bar and delete the extra stuff until the URL looks like the example comment permalink I wrote above, hit Enter, and you're good.
