ERROR MESSAGE when saving after editing - Solved after 11 weeks

I have some old threads that I edit on an almost daily basis. I have edited these several times since the new forum launched with no problems.
Today when I click on "Save" I get the error message shown below. Note that the edited post HAS been saved if I close the error and "cancel" (so it may be a redirection problem after the operation - you are sent to the end of the thread when I would expect you to remain at the post you've edited). This happens on post #1 but not on any subsequent posts in the thread.

FYI - Each of these threads I maintain is basically an index to other threads on the forum. I know (from the (now solved) problems reported with thread length and inability to edit post#1) that this type of thing is used on several different parts of the forum, but on Competitions Time we have a whole sub-forum that is made up entirely of this kind of thread.

Why would you edit old threads daily?0

Also getting the same problem. @_shel in the Competition forum there are lots of threads of daily competitions that get updated literally daily as answers and details change.StayHome * StaySafe * BeKind2

Interestingly in the Daily comp thread, it only happens in the first post of a thread. If I try to edit post 2 or 3 etc, it lets me edit without problem. If I try to edit post 1, I get the same message as @One-Eye and then when I hit cancel it puts me straight to the last post on page 127.StayHome * StaySafe * BeKind1
