Tried to post earlier, got a 403 error. Couldn't even send a PM to the admin. See if this works. |

Still hit or miss for me. Let's see if this goes through. That went through but when I tried to edit a minute later, no luck. Edited by user Monday, November 22, 2021 5:04:54 PM(UTC)

Same here. The 403 error is apparently a result of an overly sensitive WAF (web application firewall), as this issue has been reported on other websites. If this message doesn't post, I'll try posting from a different IP address when I can, in case my IP address has been flagged as malicious. I'm also sending an email to forumhelp@federalsoup.com, but don't expect whoever monitors that address can immediately correct the problem.

Interesting that my previous message in this thread posted first try, even though I can't post in a thread I started last week, using same computer & browser from same IP address! In my case, it's not hit-or-miss. I've tried like 10 times over the last several days to post a follow-up email in the thread I started. Edited by user Wednesday, December 1, 2021 9:47:22 AM(UTC)

Still trying to reply. Getting a Microsoft Azure error. Moving to the cloud? EDIT: That took at least half an hour. Edited by user Thursday, November 25, 2021 3:37:56 PM(UTC)
| Reason: Still fighting problems with posting |

Although I can post in this thread, I still can't post in the thread I started last month. I sent an email to forumhelp@federalsoup.com a month ago today and no response. Sigh.

As I explained in my other 403 Error post, 1105 Media didn't update this site, they dumped it to GCN. I suggest all further complaints are sent to them? https://gcn.com/

I'm not 100% sure on this, but it seems like removing some special characters from my messages like a backslash allows me to send PM's again.
