Well that worked, but I don't know if it's exactly the same sequence of characters as you were trying to post, AQ. Also, I am signed in as the forum administrator, so maybe I can get away with things that others can't!
It does seem peculiar that the content of a message should provoke such a response, but the cause possibly is something along the lines suggested by rogue_mother. Perhaps the forum software is taking some precautions against people trying to hide malicious code in a message text.
Since we don't often discuss infinite mathematical series in the forum, I won't investigate further.

This is one of many examples in which "normal" arithmetic does not do well when faced with infinities.
I guess engineers laugh at strange things. Sorry if I have bored you. Back to humor!
A beaver walked into a bar.
He asked, "Is your bar tender here?"

One last attempt has failed.
Received following message:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Made one last attempt to modify this posting by pasting in equations generated in Word, but this failed resulting in above message.
Best not to worry about this phenomenon.
Let's return to humor!!!

You might try putting it in by using the "insert code" button. Sometimes when code or in this case mathematical equations can be interpreted as some sort of forum coding, it is best to use this button so that the software doesn't get confused.
And a non, the bar tender joke always makes me laugh, only for a different reason.
I first heard this joke as a kid, and instead of beaver, it was a termite. I really didn't get the joke at all, but since I was with a group of friends, I laughed along and pretended like I did. My one friend, though, didn't get it either. And instead of pretending like she did, she goes "I don't get it." So then people tried explaining it to her, and she still didn't get it and looked like an idiot for not getting it...I sat there quietly and let her look like the fool. So then later she was like "That joke was so stupid, I still don't get it!" And I confessed that I hadn't either, and she should have just played along like I did... Of course now I get the joke, though.

Here is one I didn't get as a child (from the 70s):
Have you heard that Lada (a car manufacturer from Soviet Union)
has developed a turbo model? -It has pedals in the back seat as well.

Thank you, anonsi, for pointing out the "insert code" button.
I was not aware of it.
I just tried it, and, sad to say, I arrived at the same result as before.
It was worth a try.

Dang! I was hoping that it might just be the fix you needed. Oh well, as you said, it was worth a try.

I think it's only causing problems to some who attempt to post a reply with certain sequences of characters. Now that the discussion of your post has concluded, there's probably no reason why the existing messages shouldn't be left in place for an infinite duration. |

If this refers to my joke (oak eh) then I do apologise. However, whichever joke is causing the problems, I am wondering what is meant. What computer problems can be caused?  |
