There is a variable limit as to how many URL-looking things you can post on this site. Most likely, you have more luck by removing the things that look like URLs from your post.	[reply]

Ah, interesting. If I remember correctly I had four `http://` links in that post (w3schools, jQuery, 2x StackOverflow). That might explain it, thank you for the hint.	[reply] [d/l]

I'm no longer sure this is the explanation. I just got a Permission Denied even though I only had a single link, and another anon got away with a whole bunch of links. A fickle mistress `:-)`	[reply] [d/l]

It happens to me also on occasion. This does not happen on the Preview, which makes it somewhat frustrating to have just typed up and proofread a response and then not be able to post it. Neither rhyme nor reason is obvious as why it happens. The best I can tell you is that it usually 'goes away all by itself' after 15/20 minutes or so. I usually c&p what I've typed and save it in my editor for later. (I've long since given up on getting anything fixed on this site.) With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]

I have seen random Forbidden or Permission Denied messages in the context of other, unrelated web-sites ... and it always appeared to, indeed, be “random.” As far as I can tell, it seems to be something to do with proxy-servers or Other Arkane Mysteries™. Certainly, the site owners and/or the gods need to be made aware that this is happening when it happens to any “noticeable” degree, but I do not believe that it should be construed as an intentional response of this (or any) site. In other words, it isn’t anything that you did or didn’t do.
