oneword.com issues on my new macbook

Hey all,
I just recently got a macbook pro, and I've had trouble getting to the website Oneword.com.
Basically, it's a website where you get sixty seconds to write whatever comes to mind based on the word they display at the top of the page, and my issue is that every time I click Go, I get a page that says
"Access Forbidden, You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 403"

Any suggestions?? I use Firefox btw, but I get the same results with Safari.

Thanks!

I'm doubting this has anything to do with your mac. That's just a guess though. Its probably a site problem.

It was late, I forgot to press go. I am on a PC. XP SP2, all latest updates. If I press GO get same error in IE7, Latest Firefox, Opera latest version. It's not an OSX issue. Nothing here will get past prssing go, and on a Windows machine that goes to every site on the net.

An error 403 is a server configuration problem, access forbidden or something. Email them about it.

Access forbidden!
