What happened to me, it said "Sucuri Website Firewall -Access Denied" when I tried to reply to any thread?
But I can see others can.

Hi bebo,
Are you aware that the Sucuri Firewall blocks certain character combinations?
So you will get in such cases an error shown like "Sucuri Website Firewall -Access Denied"
It may mention that you have tried to post HTML, even if you may not knowingly done so.
If you check out the sub Forums_...
_..Suggestions for Improvement ( https://www.excelforum.com/suggestions-for-improvement/ )
_...The Water Cooler ( https://www.excelforum.com/the-water-cooler/ )
_... you may often find recent Threads already on this problem http://imgur.com/dSrmcw3

The most common problem is the less than sign followed by at least 4 characters ( but not all characters )
So like these will not post *anywhere
<_TOD__<TODA __<TODAYJKG
But these are OK
<15,D __ <1,5, __ <TOD __ < hsgfjhgfg __ <T ODAYDGD __ <TOD AY __ <[ODA __ <[ODAYGJHG __ <TOD[
( In the first three , ( <_TOD__<TODA __<TODAYJKG ) , to get them to post I use another workaround – the “black character trick”. For details of that and other similar problems and work a rounds see the links below.
The usually applied workaround is to add a space after the < _ So for example, if things like these bring up the sucuri firewall:
___ <bfdg _ <1234
then try posting these instead:
___ < bfdg _ < 1234 )
*Posting in different Sub Forums and things like wrapping in code tags usually make no difference for most of these things.
There are also a few other things which Sucuri Firewall will prevent you from posting. Check out the referenced posts above. All the reported issues and solutions are given.
If you are still unable to get something to post, then I suggest that you upload a text file with the contents of what you were unable to post. Then I can take a look and see if I can find the problem for you

P.s. There have recently been some issues with Internet Explorer:

Thank Alan
I'll try.
But it supprises me that it occur to a specific thread only. Not all.
Hi bebo
- That surprises me also:
I am not aware of any issue which would prevent you from posting into a specific Thread when others are able to post into that Thread.
I am only aware of problems associated with posting specific content. If the problem concerns something in the text which you are trying to post, then the problem should occur when trying to post that text anywhere
You could try posting the text ( of what you tried to post in the other Thread ) here. Usually if you can post it here, then you should also be able to post it in any Thread.

I'm encountering a similar problem today: Your request was not authorized due to its content (HTML code not allowed).
Happens when I want to post a formula (between tags!) having &'s and <'s in it.
It seems that the problem is in the formula being too long
Posting just this partgives no problem, but posting more is too much.Formula:Please Login or Register to view this content.
Is this something the techies should dive into or am I overlooking something?
Encountering the same in this thread.
Cheers!

If your problem is solved, pls mark the thread SOLVED (see Thread Tools in the menu above). Thank you!
If you think design is an expensive waste of time, try doing without ...
Hi Tsjallie,
Did you check out Post #2?
Posting in any Tags or different Sub Forums rarely influences the issue.
The issue is just that certain character combinations are not liked by the Sucuri firewall.
Check out post #2.
If you still have any problems then upload the formula that is giving you problems in a text file, or Word file, or Excel file .. etc.. then I will take a look. I am familiar with most of the things that Sucuri firewall does not like.
