404 Error today? Is it just me?

[Monty]

I've been trying to respond to a new member's posts and can't.  Just curious why.

As it has been stated in "How To Use This Board" section, the problem is likely caused by some "bad" word within your post.

If you haven't yet, I recommend reading this entire thread.

Weird.  Don't see any offensive words or anything that should've triggered a block.

I got around it by cutting and pasting some of the material, leaving nothing out, and it worked.  Go figure.

I'm glad that you got it to work.

Did you read the thread I pointed to?  By "bad" words I do not mean swears.  Bad words are words that can be interpreted as SQL commands (SQL is a database running this forum).  For example  the word s e l e c t (without spaces between the letters of course) will trigger the 404 error. Many other similar everyday words will also trigger the problem.  One of the posts in that thread has a link to SQL commands, so you can get an idea which words you are using could be the "bad" words.
