Request from a longtimer ---

I got this message from a longtime and very respected DUer:

I 'asked the admins' but have heard nothing back, if they can even communicate. All morning I've tried posting things, or responding, and keep getting a "'400 Error Message' 'Bad Request' cloudfare", then everything disappears. I have no idea why this is happening but it is annoying. I am wondering if I'm a lone ranger or if this is happening to others. If you get a chance, could you post a query in community help? I tried to, but got same message. This is an OLD laptop but I never had this problem before.

So, can anyone offer some help? And thanks in advance on behalf of the troubled longtimer!

I sometimes restart my computer. Maybe turn your router on and off for a minute? Turn wifi off and on. I don't think it is any intrusion or anything. good luck.
