Why can't I reply to posts?

:huh::huh::huh:

Still happening to me, I am using chrome as my browser and CCleaner to clear the cache but no luck so far.

Anybody got any other ideas?

I'm still having the same issue too! Just tried to post a response on the DE Razor forum, and get, "If you received this whilst trying to post a message or a reply. It's likely that you have too many attachments and/or images in your post."

It's not life threatening I know, but annoying all the same! :icon_rolleyes:

Using Firefox, no attachments, cache cleared and cannot post a smiley-free reply in the "Granola... when did this happen?" thread.

Using IE v11, plain text response, get the following error in trying to post response in the BST forum - "This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage.

For more information about HTTP errors, see Help."

Now posted a one-word reply, and it worked?:huh:

Now, that's just weird. I also get the 'error' message when I try to 'preview post, 'save draft' & 'post' - do you?

Yes.

When you were allowed to post that 'one' word response successfully, would it allow you to edit it to leave a more wordy response?

Didn't think of trying that!:blush:

Rocket Man · Wednesday December 4, 2013

Testing...well I posted this one word the edited it. Will try some other threads...

StephenShave · Wednesday December 4, 2013

Well, I tried to post a response on the BST forum with one word, then one single letter - no joy, error still appears... :icon_cry2:

I think I may have found the source of the problem. There appears to be some festive snow falling down my computer screen - that's bound to screw up the electronics!! LOL :icon_razz:

In case anyone thinks this is being ignored, it's not - I've been poring over the logs for the site trying to find a common cause... Herewith the *only* 403 Forbidden Entries for the site for the last week (which I've sifted out of a log containing something in excess of 1.2 million entries for this week alone).

Reading this in isolation - you might think that Firefox v25 is the culprit - but these are out of many thousands of uneventful replies (around 20000 from real users) using the same browser...

If anyone has any bright ideas - please contact me.

In case anyone thinks this is being ignored, it's not - I've been poring over the logs for the site trying to find a common cause...Reading this in isolation - you might think that Firefox v25 is the culprit - but these are out of many thousands of uneventful replies (around 20000 from real users) using the same browser...

My knowledge of computers is limited in the extreme, and I'm glad that we've got someone such as yourself on the moderation team who can investigate these things. Could it just be an unknown and impossible-to-deduce cause which will forever remain a mystery?
