READ-ONLY access to your HTML code is FORBIDDEN

    I was just automatically upgraded to 3.9.2. While everything seems to work on the site itself, when I try to join link parties (a necessary evil of social blogging) I get various errors via their link tools. The most descriptive is:
    The owner of this Linky list is requiring a BACK LINK in your blog post (a link directly to their post). However, your blog or hosting is not allowing the external retrieval of your page HTML code. Linky Tools is trying to check your HTML code at the link you’ve entered, and your blog is saying READ-ONLY access to your HTML code is FORBIDDEN (which is unusual and rare; almost all blogs and hosting allow this, it is not a security risk). It may be a setting on your blog, or something your web hosting has configured.

    I have linked to these sites before without issue (even those same links no longer work). Help? This is a necessary way to get traffic to my site. Is there some setting I can change to allow READ-ONLY access?
