Error message when I try to post replies

[Anonymous]

Hi Jeff,

For the past several days, on various threads, when I try to post a reply, I often get this message:

Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access/jforum/jforum.page on this server.

Any ideas what is going on? It happens when I’m try to post from my iphone.

Thanks!

We are using some complicated but still sort of brain dead rules to stop known troublemakers from posting. Occasionally they result in false positives, which seems to be the case with you. I am going to make a change in one of the rules to lesson the impact on you. But, I have to reload the server to do that and don't want to do it right now because it is a high-traffic time. I will probably do it sometime tomorrow.

Thank you, I appreciate it (and hopefully it helps a larger audience than me alone!).

Are you sure you're not using forbidden words?

I had I happen to me a few weeks ago and I wasn’t using any naughty words, even old ones that might not even be blocked anymore. It happens.

I was not, and whatever Jeff did fixed the problem (thanks, Jeff!).
