'403 forbidden' error when trying to post a new topic

[QCPolmer]

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.

This has happened before..

AGA will sort out...

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

[AGA]

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)
