        I have been having the exact same problem. Thought it was because I was a newbie. But looks like there is something else at play. Firefox user here too.

          @johnpoz I don’t even have to close the (Firefox) tab, I just reload the page and can post.

          Around 23.01 release I’d have guessed there was higher forum traffic. Not sure that’s still the case now…

                  Can I reply? I cant make new topics. (test)

                  I can't open new topics.
                  First the red message said "Forbidden".
                  Now I get a message I've been flagged as SPAM, I can't barely read the text, the pop window is very fast!

                      @stephenw10 It’s still been an issue for me when replying for a couple months give or take…as noted above I just reload the thread page and click again to submit the reply. Maybe 5% of posts, complete guess? Can’t remember right now if I’ve seen it on my phone, but a couple desktops.

                        Yeah, I sometimes see the 'forbidden' message. It seems to be when I've had a reply up for a while and forgotten about it. But that could be subjective.

                          @stephenw10 yeah it can be annoying - and it might be related to working on a reply for too long or something - but what I have found is just a refresh of the page, even when you have your reply up seems to clear it.. and then you can then hit submit on your reply..

                            Yup same. A lot of what you see is local and only sent when you hit submit. So you only see issues if the session has timed out at that point.
                            Though sometimes it shows that after only a few seconds so.....
