Most of us are using the RSS 2.0 and appending &forumids=XXX to it in order to only receive updates for a specific forum. I, like the others, am experiencing a block.
The RSS feed itself functions - but the 403 error on IFTTT tells me there is a blockage set up to prevent access. Thus, the issue is not the link we are using, but something on the back-end with is blocking IFTTT (and some readers) from accessing the RSS feed
This started on the afternoon or July 12 or the morning of July 13 per my error logging.

Right, the feed itself works (you can see that if you try it at the w3c feed validator), but iftttt.com is being blocked somewhere. Either by a front end or by FT itself. It's been functional for some time now until this happened.

We have limited tech people/resources. And the techies also have directives from above to hit certain updates. I will ask for an update. In the mean time, we DO have a notifications system on the site that works quite well.

Do we? We're accustomed to instant notification for the Premium Fare forum, a great advantage when a fare might come and go quickly. I really miss IFTTT notification. Does the site offer instant notification and I've been oblivious?

Should be able to subscribe to the forum with instant email notification, no?

If anyone could give me their Ray IDs for the error, that would be helpful. We're having trouble replicating the issue.
I asked for how you could find the Ray ID, but they haven't yet responded

I have no idea what a Ray ID is.
To replicate, the relatively simple instructions for setting up the ifttt.com (create a free account there if you don't already have one) recipe are given here in post #295:
"We got a new subforum -- I'm so happy/I'm so sad" DISCUSSION THREAD
I thought it was discussed elsewhere, but I'm not sure where that was. Anyway it's pretty easy, and those are the correct instructions.
The problem seems to be that either FT or whatever thing they have in front of FT (attack filtering, etc, like cloudfare) has probably blacklisted ifttt.com's RSS requests. That's a good clue to figuring out where that's happening.

Unfortunately, IFTTT does not have a range of IPs that can be whitelisted.

Is there any progress on this from the FT side?
I really don't want any more emails and the RSS feed app i use(d) still doesn't update any FT feed.
Do you plan on un-breaking what was changed back in July?
