contribution page 403 error request denied

Hi Maya, thanks for your quick response. I open the link from my mail app on my OnePlus Nord 3, latest version of Android. The browser are Firefox and Startpage, also latest version. It happens both on my phone and on my Windows 11 pc. In the app, I can't seem to find the contribution history section. I've made a screen capture of the problem, don't know where to upload it?

@edevries- Thank you! I've forwarded this information to the appropriate team for further investigation (Ref Ticket #V1931042995). We'll reply once we receive further information. Thank you for your patience.

@edevries- Hi again, Can yo provide us with the link you are trying to access and where you get this error?

The mail I got on August 29 2025 was with the subject: IMDb update receipt #250829-193730-744619 The contribution was: Contribution Details "The Blacklist" (2013) {The Forecaster (No. 163) (#4.10)} (1 item submitted) Trivia Adds Text: Ryan Eggold repeats his catchphrase from New Amsterdam: "How can I help?" The link: https://r.imdb.com/gp/r.html?C=2R47XB27O6AFD&K=1QVKHUN4GUA2J&M=urn:rtn:msg:202508291937316c5e873a57a746d9894495f318f0p0na&R=N137QN3WSIAT&T=C&U=https%3A%2F%2Fcontribute.imdb.com%2Fcontribution%2F250829-193730-744619%3Fref_%3Dpe_119700180_1024075190_wa_em_ra_his&H=72CCGJE2O4VFFAKMFBM4Z4SWPQUA&ref_=pe_119700180_1024075190_wa_em_ra_his I got the message when I click on the link in every mail app I've got, and in every browser I've got. Whether it is in Startpage, Chrome, Firefox or Opera, I get 403 error. The latest contribution I can find when I log in is a contribution I made in 2014. Hope this helps to fix it? Kind regards, Eelco

@edevries- Thank you for the information! Will provide this to the team for further investigation.

Just tried to add a contribution (category Trivia) to a whole other movie, and I got the confirmation mail. It's this one: Hello EelcodeVries, Thank you for your contribution to IMDb.

Thought this would maybe help you pinpoint the problem? Would it help if I forwarded the mail?

@edevries- Hi again, Further updates on the investigation report filed above, if you are logged in with another account, please lof oug and sign in with the correct account to check your contribution history.

Hi Maya, Thanks for your answer. To respond: Afaik, I have only one account, belonging to the email address info@eelcodevries.nl. My account seems to address me as Eelco de Vries (which is correct), while the account name itself appears to be "info-658-341234". The @edevries used here is because I had to create an account to be able to post in the community. When I check the IMDB app on my phone, it appears to use an account named "EelcodeVries". But that account uses the same email address as the other apparently, because I get the contribution updates on that address too. Hmmm... Will try to log in using EelcoDeVries, although I vaguely remember that the contribution site requires either an email address or a phone number to log in, not an account name or user name. Will check soon.

Oh, and is there a way of logging out from the contribution site? I can see my account name info-etc, but I can't seem to find a log out option. Have to go to IMDb site first and then back again to be able to log out?

@edevries- Yes to log out you go to IMDb site and this is where you will see the option. This will log you out overall so you do not need to do anything else.

And another "Oh, yet another question": Is there a link to the contribution page in the app? I can't seem to find it, I always try the link provided in the suggested contribution confirmation mail. And when I try to "request my data" in the app (to see which email/username/account name I have (used), I get an error. ("Looks like there was an error. Please try again.") Could it be that somehow my account is split in two account names with the same mail address? Or vice versa? (Getting more and more confused here... I think I'll crawl up in a fetal position somewhere in a corner or something like that).

When I log out, and then log in again, the app automatically opens and then my account seems to be EelcodeVries, not info-658-341234 like I see on the contribution site https://contribute.imdb.com/czone/?ref_=wa_nv_cz Could you please enlighten me?
