    This week I have been experiencing problems posting. It can be in the middle of typing, uploading a photo (it happened just now) or when I go to Post Reply. I get the message Error 400 Bad Request from Cloudflare.

    Any ideas? It only happens on GC.

    Thank you.

      Cloudflare is external to GC, so not really much we can do directly I'm afraid - but, I do intend to do some maintenance this coming weekend, so that may improve things a tad. It is possible that there will be a couple of hours of slow performance whilst I do so, but I will try to keep it to a minimum and whist as few folks are around as possible

              It has been about ten days or so and I still get the message whether I am in the middle of a sentence or posting (a photo or a message).

              If no one else is mentioning this, I would say it is me ... but it is not happening on the other two International forums I visit occasionally,and another is XenFora.

              It just happened when I went to post this.

                Thanks Pete. It is just odd it is only on here it happens, and the Bone Replacement Forum I am on is XenFora ... because our Daisees was Admin on here and Nurse Director on it, hence GC going over to XenFora. Remember she used to have various computer guys from there help on here?

                  Cloudflare is external to GC @Victoria so the problem could lie with them. I do wonder if your ISP is re-routing traffic through one of the server farms (or are you on a VPN?) such as M247 or DataCamp as we have had no choice but to block large chunks of their IP address allocation due to increasing problems with spammers etc.

                    Nope, we are not on an VPN.
