Title: '403 forbidden' error when trying to post a new topic
Post by: QCPolmer on Sat 13/10/2018 05:50:24

I have been trying to post a new topic in the Critics' Lounge, and I keep getting a '403 forbidden' error.
I thought it was a thing with my browser, so I tried it on chrome, internet explorer, and links, still didn't work.

I apologize if I posted this in the wrong spot.

Were you using any symbols, like dashes? I recall two or three repeated dashes were causing similar error in the past.

Yeah, last time it was caused by someone using non standard characters. Like copy pasting from Word inserting their magic quotes and stuff like that. I'll send you a PM with my email address, and you can send me the content of the post you were trying to make for debugging.

AGA and Crimsom Wizard: thank you so much, that solved the problem!

I was using triple and double dashes for marking indentations.
(I got into the habit by writing out lists in notepad)
