Question Blocked from one ISP?

**BruceBanner** · 11-03-2019, 02:16 PM - **1 Like**

This morning I tried to make a reply in a Private Message, it didn't work, 3x I tried each time with the Pentax 404 Error message. It appears now I cannot access PF on my usual ISP. I have toggled to another one that is letting me in and make this post.

On the aforementioned ISP that seems to not let me get through to PF anymore I can browse other sites fine, I have cleared cache, and even tried another browser but it doesn't work. PF has decided to block my ISP with my account. Can someone fix this please.

Cheers!

Furthermore, there definitely seems to be an issue replying in a Private Message. I have now tried a second time with a new ISP with the same reply and it falls over and takes me to the pentax 404 page. I have no doubt if I were to try another couple of times PF will block this ISP too.

So what's the deal here? My Private Message was pretty lengthy (I have it saved), it has embedded pics/BBCode links from flickr, Youtube links etc, why is it falling over? A short reply seems fine.

Done! Please see here for details on what happened:

As for the PM, try removing any parentheses and it should go through.

Ahh, thanks for asking Bruce and thanks for the answer Adam! Same happened to me a few days ago. Now I know not to stubbornly keep hitting 'submit' if it happens again, but check for offending characters or html code.
