As a workaround, I tried posting a "dummy" OP - just a full point in the subject line - which went through OK. Then I tried to edit my post to add the text I wanted to appear, and got the 403 Forbidden message instead.

I reset my router to refresh my IP address (I'm in the UK) in case the old one was triggering the firewall filter, but it made no difference.

Are you going to do anything to fix this, or is it just a question of your - and our - waiting and hoping it fixes itself? It's very frustrating indeed.

Starting to confirm that some of it seems to be related to post size BumRushDaShow Nov 2021 #24

I got another one last night on a reply that was only 2 lines Rhiannon12866 Nov 2021 #26

What I have done in that case BumRushDaShow Nov 2021 #27
