At the suggestion of
@DarthDimi I have decided to create a new thread as my Twitter sign-in app that I use for the original
@Dragonpol account is currently refusing to work for me. I've tried the site admins, but there have been no replies, so I've created this thread for technical advise as I know there are experts in every field here on this community.
This is the Error Code I get when I try to sign in as
@Dragonpol on the MI6 Community Twitter Sign-in App. Could it perhaps be arranged that I could sign in normally as Dragonpol?
The website declined to show this webpage
HTTP 403
Most likely causes:
•This website requires you to log in.
What you can try:
Go back to the previous page.
More information
This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage.
For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.
Just to note that I tried to sign in as
@Dragonpol on a public computer in my library branch and again was met with the same error message when I tried to sign in using the Twitter app. This shows that it is a more general problem and is not solely happening on my home computer, I think.
I wonder if anyone else has had any problems with this at all?
Or have I been banned for no apparent reason?! I know
@WestonMcKay can sign in on his Twitter App. If any of the admins could allow my sign-in in the usual log in box way it would be much appreciated!
Kind regards,
--Dragonpol2.

No, I've not, @Sandy, and I only have Internet Explorer, so I can't try any other browser (I don't think).
Thanks so much for your further advice, @Sandy. I have a feeling that this is something that perhaps only the admins of this site can fix, but I will endeavour to try what you suggest here.
There you have it. Chrome:
https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/
Mozilla:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
Click download, accept whatever they ask you, and say goodbye to that sad excuse of a browser that is IE.
That's your reason, then! Chrome is very nice indeed. But if you are using a computer where you cannot install things, as I previously said, there is an easy way to use another browser (if you need help with the technical side I can help you).
What to do now? I take it that there is a problem with the Twitter sign-n app on MI6 Community then, and that only the site admins can remedy this?
Just to get this straight, you tried signing while using Chrome and also while using Firefox and got the same message in both?
I didn't get the same message as on Internet Explorer, but the Twittter app just went blank and would not load up. It had the address I gave in my last post in the address bar of the otherwise blank window that tried to load up but failed.
What I meant was: did you get the same error message in both Chrome and Firefox?
Oh, sorry @Sandy. No, there was no error message; it just didn't load up when I clicked on the "Sign in with Twitter" option - all I get on both browsers is a blank screen.
No, that's true! Thank you for your suggestuion, @Mrcoggins, as it was that which saved the day in the end.
Yes, they certainly do a great job; I can attest to that. I know they're very busy in their own lives so I really do appreciate the time they took to do this for me. Thank you for the welcome, @Samuel001.
No, not like my famous namesake David Dragonpol. I had to send a PM as Dragonpol2 to thank James Page, but that is now the definitely the end of my evil twin Daniel Dragonpol. ;)
Thank you for all of your advice too, dear friend!
Most welcome. :)
Thanks again. I'm just relieved that things are fixed again.
