Has the website been tested with Firefox?

Because on all three of my computers, (including the live performance computer that has only been on a few dozen websites ever) I cannot post to this forum from firefox, I just get an error message. I keep all three updated with the latest versions.

Luckily I have chrome on my laptop, so that's what I'm writing from now.

I guess we are quickly moving back to a monopoly state for browsers, as this is becoming an increasing problem.

Not a big deal, but thought it worth the mention.

cheers,

Posting this with firefox. If it appears then firefox is OK for me.

My hopeful YES was correct!

Guess it was an old cookie that was confusing it. Not entirely surprising it was on every one of my computers....

problem solved!

I would say, there's maybe an issue tho, I tried posting the following answer all evening: https://pastebin.com/mHHuLk16
I cleared browser cached data, ipflushdns, tried multiple browser (even installed another one after asking help on the discord, thanks to x.iso btw 8) ), checked system and browser updates, restarted my machine, etc, couldn't get it posted.
But if the message is: https://pastebin.com/hynEfUD8
It passes. (both sending and preview) It was, in my case, related to that specific thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6892
I could pinpoint what part of what I'm sending is causing issue tho
"So, is there a "resource-less"/minimal/core packaging of hh5 somewhere? If not, is it something I might have the joy to see one day?"
If that part is not present, I can either preview or post, if that part is there, I have the following error:
Not Acceptable

An appropriate representation of the requested resource could not be found on this server.

Additionally, a 406 Not Acceptable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I thought it was maybe an auto-quote system thing or something as that quote is a copy/paste of my original message, but modifying part of it don't solve the issue.

Also, if the quoted sentence is posted/previewed alone, backend can process it.

Maybe a " ' / escape issue? Don't know, but the issue seems real, if related, and not client specific at all, really looks like a server side validation/formatting/etc issue :/ That would fit the OP issue as, using another browser, to post different content, if it's the content that's responsible for the issue, will not have the issue happen, but that might be a totally unrelated issue and just a bad day in paradise.

It's both on posting and preview. .

If you want more inputs from the client, hit me and I'll help as much as I can.

Best regards
Emmanuel

The forum is powered by PHPBB, which is the most common forum engine.
I'm not sure we'll spend too much time to track an solve this error. The string "resource-less"/minimal/core is probably considered as a special resources path?

I totally understand, I had the free time to do a quick google search, and it's maybe related to mod_security config, but I don't know anything about how you're hosting etc, maybe that would avoid the hastle for few other users (if getting over the comment recommending to just turn off the modules... which sounds like the worst answer possible...) but indeed when reading what provoked the others issues, it feels like a cornercase and most likely related to the slash interpreted as path in my content, what was surprising was that if that "problematic" string was previewed/posted alone, it passes, so it might even be some more shady string escaping evil shenanigans related to the ' and " used before and after in the overall comment, my bad for being the devil advocate all in all.
Thank you for your time ^^
