'XHR returned response code 403' message when trying to Pin

I have been happily Pinning away on my Pinterest account. I never overdo it and one day i got the following messages after i tried to Pin one of my photos: XHR returned response code 403

it is almost a week and i still get this message when trying to pin photos from my laptop using either Internet Explorer or Firefox. I can Pin from my mobile. I tried to contact Pinterest and asking a question, i tried to tweet them..I have not received any answer. I do not use any 'automatic' system to upload my pictures, all is done by me manually when i have time.

Can anyone explain to me what the message i get means and how to get rid of it and go back to Pin from my laptop, please? many thanks in advance Anna

The file size is too large. I decreased my image size from 11mb to 2.1 mb (still a big image) in Photoshop and the 403 error went away on the subsequent upload.

Try resizing your images.

413 - Request Entity Too Large The 413 status code indicates that the request was larger than the server is able to handle, either due to physical constraints or to settings. Usually, this occurs when a file is sent using the POST method from a form, and the file is larger than the maximum size allowed in the server settings

I just got this message today after loading 1 image. XHR returned response code 403.

Have you used Pinterest Help? I received this after I submitted my issue. It was a canned response, but I've had luck in the past:
