Polling Error on notifications

The site does not seem to be polling for notifications or friend requests in the charm template.

I.e - i created a new user, then under their profile added me as a friend. This was in firefox. I went back to chrome where i am logged in and no notification is highlighted. i refreshed the page and no notification highlighted. I click on the friends icon and the request is there

I then started a message convo between both profiles. No notification highlighted in either fire fox or chrome, if the message page is open it is not refreshed

i notice however in chrome dev console the attached picture message, if i click on it i get a 403 forbidden, if these are permission issue what are the recommended permissions for this file albeith i have not changed these
