"Forbidden"

Post by gac5ss »

"Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource."

I get this on several pages of the Shopsmith online catalog. This one is from trying to view the Speed Increaser. Does this mean they are discontinuing the item, changing the price, or something else? I know both the speed increaser and speed reducer were on sale for a few days. The speed reducer has returned to regular price.

Just curious.

I'm getting the same error, never seen this particular error before. I wouldn't presume any hidden meaning, most likely just an error that their IT guys need to correct. "Not Found" occurs quite a bit with items that are no longer available, and sometimes items simply say they are discontinued. If we have a vote, I prefer maintaining the links and item descriptions even if the item is not for sale.

Growing pains, I believe. The main website has been talking for a while (few months?) about changes coming to it. IMHO, it is about time they updated their website, etc. Would be nice to know an ETA of when the "changes" will be complete though. This is what the website says:

When I talked to SS customer service a couple weeks ago they also confirmed major webpage revamp is coming. She said they can hardly wait as they keep having to explain such anomalies all the time.
