This error message here only started a few days ago something changed. When I click a link to read then comment every single time error message of my reply. Every fucking time. I then reload back to main page, and hit reply on the message of interest (not open and read it) and then my reply sticks. Irritating.

There's a DDoS attack apparently, and the errors are a result of the defense:

Just FYI this setting is automated by cloudflare and means we're under attack big time. I also noticed another big forum I frequent is also in lock-down mode today as well, so it's probably internet-wide. I wonder if it's election bots/shills getting started for this upcoming election.

It is frustrating, but the alternative is that we get DDOS'd so hard the site goes down. So I know it sucks, but just be happy the site is up at all, because most websites in our position wouldn't be online anymore.
