Blocked or 'Forbidden' Posting or PM

We upgraded our network last night, including an application firewall that is apparently blocking some posts and PM. Unfortunately, without seeing anything blocked ourselves, we can't tell which log entries are problems and which are legitimate blocks.

If you get a 'Forbidden...You don't have permission to access ..' message, please contact us on the email found on: http://www.webmagic.com/contact.php

Be sure to include the time as accurately as you can, and more importantly your IP address. If you are not sure of your IP address, visit www.whatismyip.com

If you can include a copy of the message you are trying to post this could help also.

Thanks,
Greg

P.S. We finally were able to reproduce one problem and discovered one of the issues creating a false alarm and have adjusted for it. It blocked about a thousand posts this morning. If there are other issues, please let us know.

The link:

FWIW.

I tried replying to a post by posting a pic using the "insert image" button. The pic was sourced from some random page on the web, and got the 403 Forbidden. Removing the pic allowed me to post. Tried this several times on different threads and each time the pic seems to be the culprit.

The PM I tried to send had an imbeded image in it as well.
 
I'll take a look at the image attachment thing in the morning. The updated firewall has been pretty agressive with this forums....
 
I know this is not directly related to the emails mentioned in the OP, but since the upgrade, my FeedDemon app can no longer access the RSS feed.
 
I can't get to the site at all with IE7 or IE8. All I get is the 403 forbidden this site requires you to sign in. Chrome works fine.
 
It seems that when I upload a 5 megapixel picture I get this error. Resizing the image to 1024x768 allows me to upload it. Kind of annoying.

I got an error uploading pictures in this thread:

Getting blocked again here for a short time, was getting the "Forbidden. You do not have permission to access /newpost.php" and similar things.

This forum works, but unable in any of the others it seems.

IP is 192.168.1.103
