Hi. For some reason I keep getting the error message "your request has been blocked" when I try to reply to my thread.

I've sent an email to the support link it gives, but was just wondering if I could get a quicker reply as to why I may be getting the error and if there's any way to be able to post again? I've no idea why it would block my request.

    It seems to be a glitch (for some people).
    Here's another thread started elsewhere earlier.
    Maybe try a different browser?

    Ah, thanks.

    I use Firefox, but I try IE and got the same error. Thanks for the link. I did look through other posts before posting, but didn't notice that one.

    I'm getting it too. Seems to be smileys and images causing the problem. Posted on the thread in the Arms about it.

    Cheers

    May be worth trying chrome.

    Ah dear. Looks like it's basic text only posts that go through then.

    I'm not sure it's quite that clear cut.
    It seems to object to the 'wink' smiley if you just click on it, but not if you write it out as ; ) which it then displays as ;)
