Hi.

I'm currently writing a long-overdue quiz and when I try to save it I get this message:

"Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /savequiz.cfm on this server."

This doesn't happen with any other open quizzes - I can save them - and since it happened today and yesterday it's less likely to be an intermittent event.

I don't know why I get that message, but advice or a fix would be appreciated. Thanks!

Isn't it always the long-overdue ones that give us the issues? Hope it gets resolved quickly, malik!

This recent issue has been reported elsewhere. I don't know how widespread it is, but it has certainly struck me (apologies to anyone whose quiz is waiting for me to edit it - I am trying, but only sometimes can save after doing any editing) and at least one team quiz. I am waiting to find out what the actual issue is.

I have summarized the three reports I found related to this (two about quizzes and one about single questions) into a priority bug alert for Terry - we'll hopefully see this resolved soon.

Thanks -- I think I've worked out the problem. A filter that shouldn't have been enabled somehow became enabled.

Thanks for the well-wishes shuehorn.

It seems to be fixed now as I just saved fine, so thanks Terry as well.

Glad you got it sorted.

and the problem went away. It happened twice earlier in the week.
