Rick, he gets the same error when previewing his sig, so sounds like an AJAX issue, yes? The next question is what to do about it. I know that AJAX is related to Javascript so could it be that he has an outdated JRE? Or some setting not set right in his Netscape? He is on an older MAC with Netscape 7 if that helps.

The JRE should only effect Java applets and not javascript (java and javascript aren't the same, just fyi)

I wonder why when I updated I stopped having problems with Previews. I was having Previews hang on me all the time, and when I upgraded to JRE 1.5.0_10 all of the sudden I stopped having any issues with Previews. Coincidence?

:shrug: interesting to say the least lol... My friend Pat is a java programmer, he went off on me for like an hour for assuming they're the same thing (or at least related) lol.

FYI - My best guess is it was either a coincidence or installing an updated java client cleared up some underlying file associations or other anomalies in the Registry.

Ok, so getting back to the original problem - I have a member who gets "404 Forbidden" if he tried to preview ANY post or if he tries to preview his signature in the profile. He is using NS7 on a MAC. Any ideas what might be gong on?

Basil

Ask him to copy the URL he's browsing when a 404 comes up.

Also, you may be able to get some more info in the webserver error log. You'd need to know his IP and have him give you the time he gets the error, then you can scan the webserver error log to see if there are any details.

yeh, if it's a mod security issue it'll show in the error log as well, along with the offending string used.

Ok, I'll call him and have him try to preview a post then I'll go right in and see what is in the error log for his IP.
