Hi Brad,
Thank you for reaching out, and my apologies for the trouble.
We suspect that these 403-Forbidden messages are the result of our recent move to Cloudflare, to protect ourselves from DDoS attacks like the one that brought us down over the weekend and into this week. You can read about that attack here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/353456.
Our developers are aware of the issue, and are looking into it. Hopefully it will be resolved soon.
Please keep me updated on your status, and let me know if you have any questions, in the meantime.
Best,
Abigail
