Anyone else getting "403 Forbidden" errors when posting or editing? [View all]

I've had this happen today on several threads / posts, and I've tried it with two accounts and on multiple browsers - Firefox, Chrome and Edge. Does anyone have any solutions? I have e-mailed the admins about it.

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
