For the past week or so, I've been having daily problems when trying to respond to forum posts. It doesn't matter if I use Reply or Reply to this topic; it doesn't matter if HTML or BBC code is enabled or disabled; it doesn't matter if I'm embedding a link, photo or video.

Each of those things seemed to be the issue at least once, but I've now seen that this is a recurring temporary issue that goes away after a few minutes. Nothing I do in the meantime, including using a different browser, makes any difference and I cannot avoid the 403 Forbidden message until whatever is going on with the forum servers clears up on its own.

Just now, I saw a new message whcih is what prompted me to finally post:

Generic Connector Communication Error: Please check and adjust your setup:
Ensure that Tomcat is running on given host and port.
If this is a timeout error consider adjusting IIS timeout by changing executionTimeout attribute in web.config (see manual).

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to have spent 5 or 10 or 15 minutes writing a detailed response only to have it completely disappear without warning after clicking Submit. I can still use Preview and there is no warning that the post will not be accepted ahead of time, and if I forget to copy the entire message to the clipboard before clicking on Submit I have to start all over.

At least that's what happens if I'm using Edge. In Opera, I can go back one page and the text contents are still intact but I still have no way to know when the submit button will work properly other then to keep trying minute after minute.

I hope someone can look into this issue ASAP
