This issue was resolved by the webhost modifying a mod_sec rule. Everything works now.
Anyone else experiencing 403 errors please refer to my last post.
Thanks.
This ticket can be closed.I can confirm that issues with URL formation throwing 403 Errors is a known issue with Hostgator, which is where these sites reside. HG seems to have pretty draconian implementation of mod_security rules. I have submitted a ticket and will update after the server wizards have a look. The fix may be as simple as getting HG to whitelist the domains.
For anyone else with this problem see the following for reference:

Incidentally, apparently this error is known but rare.
I will update this post when HG resolves the problem so other users will have a reference to consult to help resolve similar issues.
Thanks again.This reply has been marked as private.This reply has been marked as private.Hi again,
I have checked every log I can find on the hosting cpanel and nothing indicates or describes this error. The only error I can find in the logs that occurred recently relates to WordFence, but the problem remains even after disabling WordFence.
I have submitted a ticket with my hosting provider. However, to save time once they respond, is there anything I should specifically ask for? For example, does the GD plugin require a certain Perl module, or a specific setting in php.ini, etc.? In other words, do you have a list that indicates all the standard server settings the plugin requires? For example, php memory should be 128M, the ABC Perl Module must be installed, etc.
Lastly, is there a way I can manually edit where the claim a listing, and the add new listing/event links point to?
