Re: Access permission
The editor/copy/paste trick is very useful and a time saver, TPCBF.
If you wish, you may e-mail me your posts which I will post on your behalf until the problem is solved, inasmuch as I'm allowed in myself.

And yes, it seems to be an intermittent thing. Yesterday, I posted "TEST" several times. It worked, and I deleted.

Re: Access permission
This is weird! After closing Firefox overnight with tabs reopening automatically this morning (with a login required on My Contribution), my first attempt today at hitting Preview for a MIP Forum post worked, but the content was wrong (as expected, the saved URL picks up just the quote I want). I copied my wanted content from a text editor where I'd saved it, hit Preview again, Forbidden ...

And it's repeatable!!!. On my tab showing My Contribution, I hit Log Out before closing Firefox. Then closed Firefox (FF), waited say 15 seconds to make sure all FF processes terminated, restarted FF, continued as above, same result.

Next, I'll try posting the correct content as the first action! Nope, Preview works first time repeatably, but Reply to the Post still always gets Forbidden confused

Re: Access permission
Any progress with solving this? Still seeing "Forbidden / You don't have permission to access /forums/wcg/addpost on this server" in the MIP Forum. I've again tried clearing Firefox cache & cookies, then restarting FF, no joy.

Re: Access permission
Thanks for the idea. Downloaded & installed Vivaldi, logged in to WCG, tried replying to last post in MIP1 Temporarily Suspended thread, got

Forbidden

Looks like it's the account, not the browser. But I will investigate Vivaldi anyway!

Maybe MVN Forums has reached it's tracking limit, but anyway, you seemed to have succeeded this morning: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewpostinthread?post=551945

Re: Access permission
Indeed I have succeeded (still using Firefox so far). If the tech team tweaked something, thank you!
And this was despite my newest machine downloading Win 10 version 1709 and hogging the ADSL line, making forum responses very slow.

Re: Access permission
We did change some settings to address this. Let me know if anyone else still has issues and we will look again.

Thanks,
