@Tank @Only Me
I have just tried to do my original post again and am getting the same 'Forbidden' error. Incidentally and I do not know if this is in any way related, but some post notifications are still taking a long time to get to me - your post of 1123 Tank was not notified to me until 1214.

SEEMS to be working okay albeit slowly

Are you getting the same error then?

So it's something related to a specific thread - which was exactly what I found; I could post in other threads. Any links or hosted content in that post (images etc)?

I can post in all the other threads I have tried, the system will just not accept my original post. There are no links in the post. The 4 lines that begin with numbers in reply #6 were a straight copy and paste from a web page - maybe that is causing the problem, (I used italics just to differentiate from the original post), but I could copy and paste the entire original post and place it in reply #6!

A VPN connection can cause this - switch it off!

Unlocked - I don't know why it was locked?

I would if I had a VPN.

I started a new topic '403 error - more!' yesterday.

This reply from Only Me might explain -

Thank You
Because every-so often i close topics that are not train related or a problem with this site or just create drivel for drivel sake $:-\$
The other topic was closed hence why you cany reply.... the most likely
Issue is your isp directs you to a load balancer that the hosting company is using thats not working properly or your cut and paste from another website contained hidden code which we dont allow

Incidentally, I have not, as far as I am aware, never used a VPN, but when I looked at my settings, they were allowed, so I have 'unallowed' them. I started the original topic because I had what appeared to be a computer problem and we have a section specifically for computer problems. As far as I am aware I have never 'drivelled', I am not that senile. Oh sorry, I meant 'dribble' . Anyway, all forgotten now.
